Italian related life here for the

when you go home tell them of us we gave
out today for your tomorrow what a
beautiful thought to define the
character of a true leader an Army
officer I remember
Vikram telling one of his friends very
went for the Kargil war
yeah Putin gave a leopard Karenga yeah
tangihanga taken on with a roof I would
either watch the tricolor while I would
come back rubbed in it but I would come
back for sure
that’s the seal what a leader is made of
it is 8 p.m.
captain Vikram Bertram s Indian military
academy Dehradun and there’s a lot of
chatter and benter among the gentlemen
carrots after a long hard day of the
training and as they take their seats
the cattle is in front of them and while
they get seated there’s complete silence
they wait and look at the captain’s seat
which is at the center of the mess and
his result for late captain Vikram
betrothed but on wheels chakra and only
once the food is served at the captain’s
seat do the other
Gendron carrots can take their first
bite that’s the legend of late captain
Vikram Bhatt’s wrapper in his chakra who
even though I want for 18 long years
still lives on in the hearts and minds
of many he is inspired and continues to
inspire ladies and gentlemen true
leaders are the people who live forever
and the continued to inspire the
generations long after they’ve gone
let me take you a thirty years back to
the year 1987 that was the time of an
owning a color television was not so
common across and we didn’t have a black
television at home either me and Rick
chrome used to sneak out of her house
every Sunday morning at 9:30 to one of
the neighbours houses to watch a very
popular TV serial police Chuck I don’t
know how many of you would have watched
the serial very beautiful and it was
typically on the brave and the life
stories of
all the sixteen martires were laid down
their life and got the permit chuckle
after 1947 and that was possible when
vikram decided that in life if it would
do something that would be only the
Armed Forces leaders are the people who
dream and they dare to dream
and Rickon was no different absolutely
that was the time and Vikram decided
that if he would do he would only serve
his fatherland but let me tell you
French Dreams to enter become a reality
only when mere visual thinking leaders
become who they are because the plan and
the plan well in advance and it saw the
mission of the future which guides them
into creating a roadmap but clearly laid
out milestones it was the age of 19 when
victim two was set out to achieve his
dream by joining the National Cadet
Corps a TV college Chandigarh and this
served as a beginning for what was to
come at a later date and Vikram was
awarded the best cadet for two
consecutive years in a row before
leading a contingent of the NCC
Directorate at Republic Day Parade in
January 1994 that was the beginning and
soon after the Crim join internal tree
academy Dehradun and the rest they say
is a history life was different and
leaders believe that yes they have to
plan if they have to move forward life
wasn’t easy either
and when victim decided to join the
forces you know he got into the academy
and life wasn’t easy there either
he knew that he loved to face many
hardships before he becomes a true and
an effective leader probably yeah I
believe that leaders don’t believe in
the shortcuts they’re no quick fixes
life wasn’t easy at Indian military
academy
which is one of the most finest military
training academies in the world a very
stringent physical training schedule
with long hours of the drill was
followed by a very grueling commando
course at the commando school Belgium in
Karnataka and uh me and vikrama watched
a very popular movie which was made on
the commando training called pure heart
and the title the hard but it featured
nanoparticle in module Dikshit and I
still remember when Vikram came back
after his commander the first question
what I asked Vikram was is the commando
course in reality exactly to what is
being shown in the movie and let me tell
you I still get goosebumps when I
remember the site of Bruce’s what Vikram
was carrying on his body post he
commander training course but Vikram
knew that these are the small steps
which are very critical for him to make
him a very effective leader because
there was no shortcut there was no quick
fixes there was no background and that
was the time when the military training
academy along with the commando Coast
Guard or and Vikram’s first posting came
to support I don’t know how many of you
would have heard this place so poor is a
part of District Baramulla and Jammu and
Kashmir and during those days in 98 99
it used to be one of the worst affected
militants trifid area and Vikram knew
that while his training is or but
on-the-job training would continue and
among many things what the Vikram
perfected was the art of driving as you
see with one hand and looking at the aim
shooting it with his ak-47 with his
second hand which is out of the window
and that’s what leaders believe that
they have to flick this hard and they
have to become better day after day
leaders are the people I believe who
finds ways and they overcome obstacles
this always exists but the ability of a
leader is to excise the leadership and
excise the six inches between the two
years that’s important
bizarre the people who know that the
life would throw situations at them and
they have to tackle the situations
leaders are the people who know how to
marshal their troops they have to align
the truth to themselves and it was 0.5 1
4 0 which was the first mission which
was given to captain Vikram during the
Kargil war in the sub sector and let me
share with you or brass is the second
coldest inhabited place in the world and
you know that the enemy is sitting right
at the top you have to climb 16,000 feet
at 70 degree angle enemy is firing the
bullets and the shells and a life is at
stake that was the first test of
leadership speed for captain Vikram and
we can knew that in case he goes
straight up he would lose all his men
but Vikram believed that yes he has all
the potential he’s a leader he has to
lead from the front and he regrouped all
his men and clearly articulated his plan
to his soldiers that he would walk in
the front and rather than going straight
up so that he and his people don’t face
the casualty they decided to attack from
the rear side without even knowing
what’s in store because he knew nothing
about the rear side that how many enemy
people are sitting there and they went
attacked an enemy was taken for a
surprise and they killed 6 of the
Pakistani soldiers destroyed two bunkers
and the middle of the attack victim got
into a hand-to-hand combat and even
during the hand who had come back he
killed five for his tiny soldiers you
know but sometimes what happens that the
situation goes out of control there are
unforeseen situations which you are
faced with and as a leader if you don’t
know how to face that situation it
becomes difficult for the troop it
becomes difficult for a leader to lead
the life was mocking at them but Richter
was a leader who could still find out
humor he thought okay I don’t have a
control now the enemy has done a
repulsive attack what should I do
so he looked at the situation and he
thought let me take the best out of this
and uh you saw the video when he was
going up again
his radio set was intercepted by one of
the Pakistani soldier who challenged him
and he tells him hey shisha shisha was
his codename hey she is sure you come up
don’t come up on you have a tough time
and that was the time when Vikram
thought how can a Pakistani challenged
me and I believe true leaders are the
people who challenge themselves they
accept the challenge it’s not an easy
task and they challenge themselves
emotionally the leaders challenge
themselves intellectually as well as
physically and that was the time when
Vikram replied back to this Pakistani
soldier that we would see in the next
1-hour who stays on the top and during
this course of interception by the enemy
through the radio set the Pakistani
soldier said you know we are going to
beat you we won’t throw you back and we
will take away one of your most famous
Bollywood heroines and that was the time
when Vikram said not on and he attacked
so ferociously that he destroyed all the
bunkers and before they could hoist the
tricolor on the peak vikram lobbed a
hand when it very softly and said to all
of you with love from other addiction
right so that’s the time and Vikram’s
success was soaring but leaders are the
people who don’t get ordered by success
he was the first you know captain in the
battlefield who was he was sorry he was
the first left hand in the battlefield
was elevated to the rank of a captain
and he was recommended for him javis
chakra which happens to be the second
highest gallantry award but we couldn’t
do that he has a mission to achieve it’s
just the first milestone and when he
radioed his message to the commanding
officer here del manga more that only
meant that he still has a hunger and
that’s what the leaders are made of
because leaders don’t rest they don’t
retreat they have a hunger to achieve
the success and they want to complete
the journey
that’s what leadership is all about and
it was the same time than Vikram thought
that he would not read it back because
there’s still an objective in front of
him he absolutely created the
environment and he decided that he would
go for a second attack and leaders are
the people who set the tone leaders know
that they have a people on the right
they have a people on the left but in
case the situation warrants they will
have to sacrifice themselves rather than
sacrificing the lives of the people
that’s what the leaders are made of
leaders take charge leaders are the
people who make the Delta change and it
was the same time when Vikram decided to
go up for mission – which was 0.4 875
one of his fellow soldiers left nanine
was hit with a bullet on the ankle and
he was grievously injured and he was
shouting for help and then Vikram
stepped out of the bunker and Vikram was
about to rush to save him when one of
the stupid are sober our measure of not
Singh told Vikram so there’s a heavy
fighting life as at risk you should not
go up and become tells him sob Durga
yeah are you scared – which – vada
replied sabzi up Sartain – done he
looked ah when you leading the charge
we’re not scared but I have a family and
Vikram realized that this man has a
family and we controlled him – Bulba
children ah you have a family and kids
at home you stay back and I’ll go up and
Vikram Takara’s ak-47 went out firing
and he ensured that he gave a cushion to
left nanine pull them back and pushed
him back to the gun bunker without even
worrying for his own safety and again he
got into a hand-to-hand combat very
killed five Pakistani soldiers but
unfortunately he was hit by a sniper and
he laid down his life there on the spot
but he ensured that his comrade is put
to the safety that’s what leaders are
made of that’s what leadership is all
about because leaders believe that in
case they have to actually walk in the
front and if somebody has to go into the
line of fire it’s themselves an
affiliate or I must share this incidence
with you that I met Lefton Naveen and
his family who lives in Bangalore
during our
the Golden Jubilee celebrations of 13
Jammu and Kashmir eiffels that’s the
regiment to which vikram belonged and uh
it was almost after 17 years the left
intervenes daughter whose age at 12
years walked up to me and she tells me
victims are led by an example
he saved my father’s life and ladies and
gentlemen let me tell you this girl was
born much after the Kargil was oh and
she had never seen captain Vikram Rathod
she never met him but she’s so deeply
revulsion that was the indomitable
spirit of captain Vikram Buckland that’s
what the indomitable spirit a leaderless
with because leaders don’t believe in
the titles they don’t believe in the
ranks leaders are the people who believe
in action and that was what Vikram was
made of and hence he was awarded with
the highest gallantry award endow as his
parameter Thank You Jen
