Honouring the valour of soldiers, the Indian Army tweeted a video saluting the courage of Bihar Regiment soldiers.
“The Saga of #DhruvaWarriors and The Lions of #BiharRegiment. Born to fight. They are not the bats. They are the Batman. After every #Monday, there will be a #Tuesday. Bajrang Bali Ki Jai,” the Northern Command of the Indian Army tweeted the video.
The video traces back some of the most important missions taken by the Regiment from 1857 to Kargil war in 1999, and also pays tribute to Col Santosh Babu of the Bihar Regiment, who laid down his life fighting Chinese soldiers in Galwan valley on the India-China Lineof Actual Control in Eastern Ladakh last week.
In the 1 minute 57 seconds video, the narrator, Major Akhil Pratap, says, "It was the same month, 21 years ago. Bihar regiment gave a bloody nose to the Kargil intruders. They were on heights too and were they prepared. They went with guts and came back with glory," thus, invoking the strength and honouring the soldiers for their bravery now and during the Kargil War.
The narration in the video ends with "Bajrang Bali Ki Jai," which is also the war cry of the Bihar regiment soldiers just before they go on the battlefield.
The video comes just days after 20 Indian soldiers lost their in a "violent face-off" with Chinese troops in the LAC across Galwan Valley of Ladakh.
