00:02:54,468 --> 00:02:56,218
<i>There was a time when
India regarded China,</i>

4
00:02:56,343 --> 00:02:58,177
<i>not just as a neighbour,</i>

5
00:02:58,885 --> 00:03:00,343
<i>but as a brother.</i>

6
00:03:00,843 --> 00:03:04,218
<i>Chants of "Indian-Chinese are brothers",
echoed in Indian cities.</i>

7
00:03:05,729 --> 00:03:08,663
<i>But on 20 October 1962,</i>

8
00:03:09,139 --> 00:03:11,056
<i>it was clear the feeling</i>

9
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,010
<i>did not run both ways.</i>

10
00:03:14,052 --> 00:03:15,718
<i>For many years</i>

11
00:03:16,135 --> 00:03:18,927
<i>the Chinese had their eye
on Ladakh's Aksai Chin.</i>

12
00:03:19,093 --> 00:03:21,718
<i>They attacked India
without warning</i>

13
00:03:21,795 --> 00:03:23,629
<i>and took control
of Aksai Chin.</i>

14
00:03:24,052 --> 00:03:26,177
<i>This attack was a betrayal.</i>

15
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:30,427
<i>And to stop the enemy,
India's brave soldiers</i>

16
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,010
<i>were ready to sacrifice
their lives.</i>

17
00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:35,968
<i>As the war raged on,</i>

18
00:03:36,593 --> 00:03:38,052
<i>the Chinese army advanced,</i>

19
00:03:38,177 --> 00:03:39,843
<i>swallowing more of our land.</i>

20
00:03:41,052 --> 00:03:44,718
<i>Their next target was
Ladakh's Chushul valley.</i>

21
00:03:45,302 --> 00:03:50,052
<i>They knew if they got control
of the airfield at Chushul,</i>

22
00:03:50,593 --> 00:03:53,468
<i>Jammu-Kashmir would
soon be in their grasp.</i>

23
00:03:55,052 --> 00:03:57,510
<i>This is where our story begins.</i>

24
00:03:58,343 --> 00:04:00,802
<i>The story of the battle that</i>

25
00:04:01,218 --> 00:04:04,802
<i>today we know as
"The Battle of Rezang La".</i>

26
00:04:05,510 --> 00:04:07,385
<i>This battle was led by</i>

27
00:04:07,593 --> 00:04:09,927
<i>Major Shaitan Singh Bhati</i>

28
00:04:10,677 --> 00:04:13,677
<i>and his 120 brave soldiers.</i>

29
00:04:14,177 --> 00:04:17,010
"120 Brave"

30
00:05:55,385 --> 00:05:57,135
I must tell the CO.

31
00:05:57,260 --> 00:05:59,593
I must get to Chushul. Warn the CO.

32
00:05:59,843 --> 00:06:03,010
Sir, give him time. He's in shock.

33
00:06:03,177 --> 00:06:06,177
- He's clearly been through hell.
- I must warn the CO.

34
00:06:06,635 --> 00:06:10,177
- I must get to Chushul.
- Tell me, where is your Major?

35
00:06:10,843 --> 00:06:12,135
I cannot leave you here, sir.

36
00:06:12,427 --> 00:06:13,802
I will not leave you here.

37
00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:16,052
Sir, I will not leave you.

38
00:06:16,260 --> 00:06:18,468
Sir, I will not go...

39
00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:20,468
Sir...

40
00:06:22,052 --> 00:06:23,010
Sir, I will not go...

41
00:06:24,093 --> 00:06:27,093
I will not leave you here... sir...

42
00:06:29,927 --> 00:06:32,302
Let me know as soon as
he's able to talk.

43
00:06:33,010 --> 00:06:34,093
Yes, sir.

44
00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:52,552
<i>My name is Ram Chander Yadav.</i>

45
00:06:53,052 --> 00:06:56,802
<i>Two days ago I was sitting at HQ
in Delhi,</i>

46
00:06:57,427 --> 00:06:59,885
<i>shuffling files from here to there.</i>

47
00:07:00,343 --> 00:07:03,843
<i>But as the situation on the border
got worse,</i>

48
00:07:04,218 --> 00:07:07,510
<i>I was given the chance to join
the 13th Kumaon Regiment at Chushul</i>

49
00:07:07,635 --> 00:07:10,218
<i>as their new radio operator.</i>

50
00:07:11,093 --> 00:07:13,760
<i>I did not know then
that four days later,</i>

51
00:07:14,343 --> 00:07:17,760
<i>not just for me personally,
but this battle</i>

52
00:07:18,177 --> 00:07:22,468
<i>would change the country's history
forever.</i>

53
00:07:39,177 --> 00:07:40,927
- Morning, Colonel.
- Morning, sir.

54
00:07:43,843 --> 00:07:45,885
- Ram Ram, sir!
- Ram Ram.

55
00:08:00,302 --> 00:08:01,552
Ram Ram, sir!

56
00:08:04,968 --> 00:08:06,635
Orders from high command.

57
00:08:06,843 --> 00:08:10,177
We cannot lose the Chushul airfield
under any circumstances.

58
00:08:10,843 --> 00:08:12,010
What's your plan?

59
00:08:15,010 --> 00:08:16,718
Sir, on the north bank of Pangong Tso,

60
00:08:16,968 --> 00:08:19,135
the 1/8th Gorkha Rifles are deployed.

61
00:08:19,343 --> 00:08:21,552
They're facing heavy infantry
and artillery attacks.

62
00:08:21,718 --> 00:08:24,385
On Gurung Hill, the Bravo Company,
the 1/8th Gorkhas

63
00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:27,427
are saving this gap.

64
00:08:27,885 --> 00:08:31,510
If the Chinese attack our airfield,
they'll come through this gap.

65
00:08:31,885 --> 00:08:35,093
Charlie Company will protect
Rezang La.

66
00:08:36,010 --> 00:08:37,968
- Charlie Company?
- Yes, sir.

67
00:08:38,468 --> 00:08:42,010
The Ahir boys are from Haryana?
Aren't they from the Plains?

68
00:08:42,927 --> 00:08:44,010
Can they handle it?

69
00:08:44,718 --> 00:08:46,552
Sir, this isn't my decision,

70
00:08:46,927 --> 00:08:49,510
the Charlie Company Commander
volunteered.

71
00:08:49,718 --> 00:08:51,177
Major Shaitan Singh Bhati.

72
00:08:55,177 --> 00:08:56,843
Shaitan!

73
00:08:58,093 --> 00:08:59,093
Where is he?

74
00:08:59,468 --> 00:09:01,843
Gone on a recce to the mountains, sir.

75
00:09:02,843 --> 00:09:06,093
He said: "The Brigadier will wait,
not the enemy."

76
00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:32,635
Where's the Major going?

77
00:09:33,052 --> 00:09:34,427
There's a sniper up ahead.

78
00:09:41,552 --> 00:09:44,260
Stop him! The Major is walking
straight into his rifle range.

79
00:10:26,927 --> 00:10:27,802
Ready, sir!

80
00:10:31,552 --> 00:10:34,177
Rock pile, seven o'clock,
three degrees.

81
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:37,302
Rock pile, seven o'clock,
three degrees.

82
00:10:42,552 --> 00:10:44,010
Enemy sniper.

83
00:10:55,093 --> 00:10:58,427
Remember, Hari Ram, the wind
is on your side.

84
00:10:58,968 --> 00:11:00,677
The wind is on our side.

85
00:11:24,968 --> 00:11:27,218
Sir, there's another one.
Your permission?

86
00:11:27,343 --> 00:11:28,760
Permission denied.

87
00:11:28,968 --> 00:11:31,552
We need someone
to carry the message back.

88
00:11:32,843 --> 00:11:35,177
Now they will not cross
the border.

89
00:11:39,427 --> 00:11:41,385
Sir! You're hurt.

90
00:11:41,843 --> 00:11:43,093
Not me.

91
00:11:43,968 --> 00:11:45,552
Look over there.

92
00:11:48,343 --> 00:11:52,760
I had heard many stories of his bravery,
today I see it with my own eyes.

93
00:11:53,552 --> 00:11:56,427
They don't call him the "Devil"
for nothing!

94
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,427
Drive!

95
00:12:11,218 --> 00:12:13,093
- Ram Ram, sir!
- Ram Ram.

96
00:12:15,468 --> 00:12:16,718
- Ram Ram, sir!
- Ram Ram.

97
00:12:16,927 --> 00:12:18,385
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav.

98
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:20,343
Charlie Company's new radio operator.

99
00:12:20,635 --> 00:12:22,135
Where the hell did they find you?

100
00:12:22,468 --> 00:12:24,510
Not found! I came of my own accord.

101
00:12:24,885 --> 00:12:26,552
Only God can save you!

102
00:12:26,885 --> 00:12:29,260
Take this medicine
for the next three days.

103
00:12:29,885 --> 00:12:32,843
But I'm fine!

104
00:12:33,052 --> 00:12:34,718
Have one after each meal.

105
00:12:35,218 --> 00:12:36,135
Sir!

106
00:12:42,135 --> 00:12:44,677
Sir! Any chance of a jacket?

107
00:12:44,927 --> 00:12:46,843
You see I'm not used to the cold.

108
00:12:47,135 --> 00:12:48,802
You'll get a jacket.

109
00:12:49,177 --> 00:12:51,718
Tell you what. Just cross the border,

110
00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:54,968
the first Chinese soldier you shoot -
take his jacket.

111
00:12:57,885 --> 00:13:01,177
No jackets in stock.
Make do with the sweater.

112
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,093
Where do I find the Charlie Company?

113
00:13:05,635 --> 00:13:08,302
It looks less like a camp
and more like a party -

114
00:13:09,427 --> 00:13:11,052
Charlie Company's there.

115
00:13:17,885 --> 00:13:20,677
Come on, Baingan! Get his knees!

116
00:13:26,635 --> 00:13:28,385
He's murdering all discipline!

117
00:13:28,510 --> 00:13:31,302
Now see how I murder this chocolate!
Baingan, way to go!

118
00:13:33,802 --> 00:13:35,343
I'll fix you!

119
00:13:49,718 --> 00:13:50,927
What's all this?

120
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:54,927
What if an officer shows up?

121
00:13:55,302 --> 00:13:56,260
It's their daily routine!

122
00:13:58,218 --> 00:14:00,885
They're best friends,
from the same village.

123
00:14:01,718 --> 00:14:04,510
We're all from the same village!

124
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:05,968
Sir! Where's that?

125
00:14:06,135 --> 00:14:07,218
Rewari.

126
00:14:07,468 --> 00:14:09,218
Brother! I'm from Rewari too.

127
00:14:12,468 --> 00:14:13,968
Hail Bajrang Bali!

128
00:14:16,885 --> 00:14:18,135
Now I'll mash you, Eggplant!

129
00:14:23,885 --> 00:14:25,385
I won!

130
00:14:25,927 --> 00:14:29,010
Put your stuff down and watch
the fun. Go on!

131
00:14:29,135 --> 00:14:31,093
Watching these idiots is a blast!

132
00:14:32,802 --> 00:14:33,718
My chocolate?

133
00:14:36,510 --> 00:14:37,635
Damn you!

134
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,093
- He ate up my chocolate.
- Stay out of it!

135
00:14:41,802 --> 00:14:42,677
Hey brother!

136
00:14:44,260 --> 00:14:47,221
- You crazy? You fools!
- What happened to him?

137
00:14:47,468 --> 00:14:48,802
Get up!

138
00:14:49,718 --> 00:14:51,343
Company! Attention!

139
00:14:51,593 --> 00:14:53,135
Ram Ram, sir.

140
00:14:54,010 --> 00:14:55,010
At ease.

141
00:14:57,052 --> 00:14:58,885
You here to fight the enemy
or each other?

142
00:14:59,093 --> 00:15:00,343
The enemy, sir!

143
00:15:02,093 --> 00:15:03,885
- Name?
- Nanha.

144
00:15:05,010 --> 00:15:08,510
Sorry, sir! Sepoy Shiv Ram
from Dhevada, District Rewari.

145
00:15:12,927 --> 00:15:13,927
And you?

146
00:15:14,135 --> 00:15:17,510
Sepoy Ram Lal Yadav, sir.
Village Dhevada, District Rewari.

147
00:15:18,468 --> 00:15:20,260
So they both belong to your village,
Surja?

148
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,885
If only they didn't, sir.

149
00:15:23,427 --> 00:15:26,260
And they don't like each other's
faces!

150
00:15:27,468 --> 00:15:29,218
They're forever at loggerheads, sir.

151
00:15:31,260 --> 00:15:34,302
So you like fighting. Well, why not?

152
00:15:35,093 --> 00:15:38,135
You're Ahirs. It's Only natural you like
fighting.

153
00:15:40,302 --> 00:15:44,093
Do you know why I chose to lead
this Company?

154
00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:47,010
Because I know

155
00:15:47,385 --> 00:15:50,302
the blood that runs in your veins
has great power.

156
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,677
- Uncle Jairam?
- Yes, sir.

157
00:15:54,260 --> 00:15:55,927
Weren't you the first to join us?

158
00:15:56,052 --> 00:15:57,093
Yes, sir.

159
00:15:57,385 --> 00:16:01,343
Tell them how many Ahir Companies
served in the British army.

160
00:16:01,468 --> 00:16:03,635
They made up the whole regiment, sir.

161
00:16:03,843 --> 00:16:06,677
- And now?
- Only one battalion left, sir.

162
00:16:07,302 --> 00:16:08,635
Why did that happen?

163
00:16:08,885 --> 00:16:12,177
Why was a whole regiment reduced
to one battalion?

164
00:16:12,302 --> 00:16:16,968
Because the British felt we lacked
the discipline required by soldiers.

165
00:16:19,927 --> 00:16:21,177
Were the British right?

166
00:16:23,177 --> 00:16:24,385
No, sir.

167
00:16:26,927 --> 00:16:28,343
Were the British right?

168
00:16:28,510 --> 00:16:29,510
No, sir!

169
00:16:29,674 --> 00:16:33,843
The Chinese have invaded our land.
It's up to us to stop them.

170
00:16:34,135 --> 00:16:38,093
This can only happen if we fight the way
a war is fought.

171
00:16:38,427 --> 00:16:39,302
United!

172
00:16:39,427 --> 00:16:41,135
With weapons in our hands
and a storm in our hearts.

173
00:16:41,343 --> 00:16:43,677
So, shall we prove the British wrong?

174
00:16:43,843 --> 00:16:45,635
- Yes. sir!
- What do we need for that?

175
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,968
Weapons in our hands
and a storm in our hearts!

176
00:16:48,093 --> 00:16:52,135
You're sons of farmers. All your life
you've seen your ancestors fight.

177
00:16:52,385 --> 00:16:54,177
Sometimes against drought.
Sometimes against floods.

178
00:16:54,302 --> 00:16:56,802
Fighting for your land
runs in your veins.

179
00:16:57,052 --> 00:17:01,093
This time the fight isn't about
your land, but your motherland.

180
00:17:01,885 --> 00:17:03,677
- Any questions?
- No, sir.

181
00:17:05,468 --> 00:17:07,385
- Surja, take over.
- Sir.

182
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,510
And you, radio man...

183
00:17:12,510 --> 00:17:14,510
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav, sir.

184
00:17:14,843 --> 00:17:15,968
Come with me.

185
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,093
<i>That was the first time I met
the Company Commander.</i>

186
00:17:20,468 --> 00:17:23,385
<i>Seeing him and listening to him</i>

187
00:17:23,968 --> 00:17:25,510
<i>doubled my fervour.</i>

188
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,677
In line!

189
00:17:29,677 --> 00:17:31,802
Tomorrow we head for Rezang La.

190
00:17:32,427 --> 00:17:34,343
Ever been posted
to a high altitude region?

191
00:17:34,468 --> 00:17:35,552
No, sir.

192
00:17:36,843 --> 00:17:41,177
So a new chapter in your life is about
to begin, Ram Chander. Get ready.

193
00:17:41,968 --> 00:17:43,177
Here's your radio set.

194
00:17:44,052 --> 00:17:44,677
Sir.

195
00:17:51,052 --> 00:17:52,135
How many in your family?

196
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,927
There's my mother and two younger
sisters.

197
00:17:58,218 --> 00:17:59,427
Done, sir.

198
00:18:07,802 --> 00:18:10,802
Make sure you lie low at the front.

199
00:18:11,302 --> 00:18:14,093
Wear your helmet at all times,
and stay alert.

200
00:18:15,968 --> 00:18:18,260
We lost a radio operator recently.

201
00:18:18,843 --> 00:18:20,010
Understood?

202
00:18:20,385 --> 00:18:21,968
- Dharam Pal.
- Sir!

203
00:18:22,635 --> 00:18:25,718
Check his nose. Make sure he has
no broken bones.

204
00:18:26,093 --> 00:18:27,260
Yes, sir.

205
00:18:28,677 --> 00:18:29,677
Sir!

206
00:18:30,927 --> 00:18:33,260
Wear a helmet. Stay alert.

207
00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:37,427
Surja sir, you know in our village
we get 4 glasses of milk every day.

208
00:18:38,093 --> 00:18:41,302
You told us eating a chocolate
is like having a glass of milk.

209
00:18:41,802 --> 00:18:43,760
This Ram Lal ate my chocolate.

210
00:18:45,093 --> 00:18:47,552
I knew your father and your grandfather.

211
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,843
They both enlisted in the army and proudly
did their duty.

212
00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:53,343
And what are you doing here? Hein?

213
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,135
Fighting over a chocolate?

214
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,093
Want to disgrace your forefathers?

215
00:18:59,718 --> 00:19:02,510
Why are you so quiet now?
Tell me why you're here.

216
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,427
I came to be a soldier like my father
and grandfather, sir.

217
00:19:05,552 --> 00:19:07,302
I'm here to do my duty for my country.

218
00:19:07,427 --> 00:19:09,968
A soldier fights for his country,

219
00:19:10,343 --> 00:19:12,968
he does not fight with his mates
over nothing.

220
00:19:13,343 --> 00:19:14,427
Get it?

221
00:19:15,635 --> 00:19:18,843
Get your bedding. You won't be
sleeping in the tent tonight.

222
00:19:19,093 --> 00:19:20,010
So where will I sleep?

223
00:19:20,177 --> 00:19:22,218
Over there... with the cattle.

224
00:19:22,677 --> 00:19:26,260
Those who do not respect humans,
sleep with animals.

225
00:19:26,927 --> 00:19:27,927
Uncle...

226
00:19:28,260 --> 00:19:29,385
I am not your uncle.

227
00:19:32,427 --> 00:19:33,427
Now move it.

228
00:19:33,552 --> 00:19:34,468
Get moving!

229
00:19:36,510 --> 00:19:37,718
Ram Ram, sir!

230
00:19:47,552 --> 00:19:48,385
Good evening, sir.

231
00:19:48,927 --> 00:19:50,427
Shaitan. At ease.

232
00:19:52,635 --> 00:19:53,510
What news?

233
00:19:54,135 --> 00:19:56,260
They're setting up base in Spanggur.

234
00:19:56,843 --> 00:19:59,427
I don't think they'll attack from there.

235
00:19:59,927 --> 00:20:00,427
Why not?

236
00:20:00,552 --> 00:20:02,885
I talked to some locals
on the way here, sir.

237
00:20:03,177 --> 00:20:06,302
They were coming down from the hills
with their cattle.

238
00:20:06,968 --> 00:20:09,885
They said there was a chance
of a storm breaking in a few days.

239
00:20:10,635 --> 00:20:12,468
The weather report didn't mention
any storm.

240
00:20:13,010 --> 00:20:14,427
With all due respect, sir,

241
00:20:15,010 --> 00:20:17,093
these people have been living
in the mountains

242
00:20:17,218 --> 00:20:19,177
long before we could even reach them.

243
00:20:19,843 --> 00:20:20,885
In all honesty,

244
00:20:21,052 --> 00:20:23,510
I trust their experience more than
a weather report.

245
00:20:23,843 --> 00:20:27,552
You're saying the enemy will wait till
the storm passes and then attack?

246
00:20:27,843 --> 00:20:29,802
Definitely a possibility, sir.

247
00:20:30,427 --> 00:20:31,843
But I believe,

248
00:20:32,218 --> 00:20:35,635
they'll use the cover of the storm
to try and capture Rezang La.

249
00:20:35,927 --> 00:20:36,760
Rezang La?

250
00:20:37,593 --> 00:20:39,718
That's what I would do, sir.

251
00:20:41,843 --> 00:20:44,593
No. I disagree with you,
Shaitan.

252
00:20:45,552 --> 00:20:47,552
Sir, the Rezang La Pass is very narrow.

253
00:20:47,718 --> 00:20:50,802
The enemy won't easily get through
with troops and artillery.

254
00:20:51,260 --> 00:20:53,010
To attack the Chushul airfield,

255
00:20:53,177 --> 00:20:54,927
they'll come through
the Spanggur gap.

256
00:20:55,385 --> 00:20:57,427
Sir, it's a direct and easy approach.

257
00:20:58,385 --> 00:20:59,552
What do you have to say, Major?

258
00:21:00,843 --> 00:21:01,968
He's right, sir.

259
00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:06,010
The enemy will assume
we know that too.

260
00:21:08,468 --> 00:21:09,343
With your permission.

261
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,760
Go ahead.

262
00:21:13,093 --> 00:21:15,802
Sir, they'll expect to see our forces
in Spanggur,

263
00:21:16,677 --> 00:21:19,760
but they will not expect Rezang La Pass
to be defended.

264
00:21:20,635 --> 00:21:23,718
That's why we need more troops
and artillery support, sir.

265
00:21:26,052 --> 00:21:27,218
I'm sorry, Major.

266
00:21:27,468 --> 00:21:29,718
We cannot send more troops
to Rezang La right now.

267
00:21:30,135 --> 00:21:32,052
But, if the weather is on our side,

268
00:21:32,177 --> 00:21:34,010
I'll try and provide you
with artillery support.

269
00:21:34,177 --> 00:21:35,510
Thank you, sir.

270
00:21:36,510 --> 00:21:37,343
Carry on, Major.

271
00:21:42,385 --> 00:21:43,677
So what do you think?

272
00:21:44,135 --> 00:21:44,843
No, sir.

273
00:21:45,635 --> 00:21:49,385
I agree with you. Rezang La
is a very narrow Pass.

274
00:21:59,343 --> 00:22:03,468
<i>We were busy preparing ourselves
for the Chinese to attack.</i>

275
00:22:03,802 --> 00:22:08,802
<i>The command of the Chinese army
was in the hands of Chairman Mao.</i>

276
00:22:09,677 --> 00:22:13,385
<i>He sent orders to the front through
General Gao.</i>

277
00:22:38,956 --> 00:22:41,769
<i>Mao wanted to see the Communist flag</i>

278
00:22:42,260 --> 00:22:45,218
<i>flying over Chushul airfield in three days.</i>

279
00:22:46,510 --> 00:22:48,760
<i>The world was putting pressure on Mao</i>

280
00:22:48,885 --> 00:22:50,427
<i>to end the war.</i>

281
00:22:51,260 --> 00:22:54,093
<i>And he knew, once a ceasefire was declared,</i>

282
00:22:54,552 --> 00:22:56,218
<i>the land they had already seized</i>

283
00:22:56,427 --> 00:22:58,218
<i>would belong to them.</i>

284
00:23:16,843 --> 00:23:18,843
<i>The Chinese believed they'd found</i>

285
00:23:18,968 --> 00:23:20,635
<i>the weak link in the Indian defence,</i>

286
00:23:21,093 --> 00:23:24,718
<i>because the soldiers in our Company</i>

287
00:23:25,843 --> 00:23:27,968
<i>were from the Plains,</i>

288
00:23:28,343 --> 00:23:31,218
<i>not used to fighting,</i>

289
00:23:31,718 --> 00:23:34,635
<i>or even breathing at high altitudes.</i>

290
00:23:39,343 --> 00:23:41,552
<i>Chairman Mao's ordered their army</i>

291
00:23:41,635 --> 00:23:45,335
<i>to capture Rezang La without delay.</i>

292
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,718
Brother, it's freezing.

293
00:25:02,218 --> 00:25:03,385
What you staring at?

294
00:25:03,718 --> 00:25:04,885
Your face.

295
00:25:06,135 --> 00:25:10,135
You look like a shy bride
on her wedding night.

296
00:25:10,593 --> 00:25:11,843
Dharam Pal!

297
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:15,052
You've studied medicine, right?
Can he be cured?

298
00:25:16,468 --> 00:25:19,302
Don't drag me into this, Baingan!

299
00:25:19,802 --> 00:25:21,593
My father used to say:

300
00:25:21,927 --> 00:25:25,177
"All soldiers are your brothers.
Treat them all the same."

301
00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:27,010
Learn from this good man,

302
00:25:27,218 --> 00:25:29,635
and stop making fun of everyone!

303
00:25:29,885 --> 00:25:33,843
They all call him "Eggplant"!
I'll cut off your stem!

304
00:25:34,260 --> 00:25:35,385
Now stop!

305
00:25:35,802 --> 00:25:37,760
I'm writing to your sister-in-law.

306
00:25:38,260 --> 00:25:40,510
Tell her about the tough times
we're having.

307
00:25:41,843 --> 00:25:43,968
Nihal isn't married yet.

308
00:25:44,593 --> 00:25:46,177
But sister-in-law came first.

309
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,843
Not married? Sister-in-law came first?

310
00:25:50,260 --> 00:25:51,427
How come?

311
00:25:55,622 --> 00:25:57,260
The heartthrob of our nation!

312
00:25:57,593 --> 00:26:00,218
Our "so-called" sister-in-law!
Madhubala!

313
00:26:04,052 --> 00:26:05,593
Writing to the star Madhubala?

314
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,927
I hear she doesn't go to work

315
00:26:08,052 --> 00:26:11,843
till she knows her Prince's heart
still beats for her!

316
00:26:12,052 --> 00:26:14,843
Keep laughing!
One day you'll be crying.

317
00:26:15,343 --> 00:26:18,843
You know nothing of the power
of love.

318
00:26:19,093 --> 00:26:20,385
Nihal Singh.

319
00:26:20,635 --> 00:26:23,260
There are many stones on this mountain,

320
00:26:23,718 --> 00:26:28,843
but the number of Madhubala's
fans in India outnumber them all.

321
00:26:29,010 --> 00:26:32,552
You can't compare our brother
to a stone.

322
00:26:32,968 --> 00:26:34,760
He's a real diamond!

323
00:26:35,093 --> 00:26:36,802
Let this war be over,

324
00:26:37,010 --> 00:26:40,427
then I'll catch the next train
and head straight for Bombay.

325
00:26:41,843 --> 00:26:43,885
I want to go to Bombay too.

326
00:26:44,218 --> 00:26:45,843
You know...

327
00:26:47,093 --> 00:26:49,468
I'm dying to meet the great singer
Mohammed Rafi saab.

328
00:26:49,677 --> 00:26:51,010
Take a look at the sea too!

329
00:26:51,135 --> 00:26:52,968
If you're all heading to Bombay,

330
00:26:53,177 --> 00:26:54,802
take our hero with you.

331
00:26:58,135 --> 00:26:59,593
Radio man looks like the star
Dev Anand of Rewari!

332
00:27:13,177 --> 00:27:14,218
Brothers,

333
00:27:16,260 --> 00:27:19,385
if I wasn't responsible for getting
my sister married... then I'd...

334
00:27:21,260 --> 00:27:23,635
What do you mean?
Your sister's marrying?

335
00:27:24,052 --> 00:27:25,802
Then we shall all go!

336
00:27:26,510 --> 00:27:31,427
An Ahir wedding! They'll be serving us
turmeric milk! Congrats!

337
00:27:31,552 --> 00:27:32,843
Won't you invite us?

338
00:27:32,968 --> 00:27:33,968
Of course I will!

339
00:27:34,093 --> 00:27:36,343
When will this war end?

340
00:27:51,968 --> 00:27:54,593
Have you ever killed anyone?

341
00:28:03,218 --> 00:28:04,677
We're Ahirs.

342
00:28:07,093 --> 00:28:09,177
If you ask us sweetly,

343
00:28:10,260 --> 00:28:12,177
we'd lay down our lives.

344
00:28:13,927 --> 00:28:16,177
But when it comes to our motherland,

345
00:28:18,135 --> 00:28:20,135
I swear on Lord Krishna,

346
00:28:21,802 --> 00:28:23,385
not just one life,

347
00:28:24,843 --> 00:28:26,843
we can take a hundred lives.

348
00:28:35,010 --> 00:28:37,760
- For you?
- No, sir, I don't drink.

349
00:28:38,177 --> 00:28:39,468
- Thank you.
- Thank you.

350
00:28:42,135 --> 00:28:43,260
How is Mrs. Bhati?

351
00:28:44,635 --> 00:28:45,843
She's fine, sir.

352
00:28:46,802 --> 00:28:49,343
- And your son?
- Don't ask, sir.

353
00:28:49,927 --> 00:28:52,760
I may be called "Shaitan",
but he's the real devil!

354
00:28:54,843 --> 00:28:55,677
Miss them?

355
00:28:58,135 --> 00:28:59,218
Yes, sir.

356
00:29:23,968 --> 00:29:27,718
<i>I saw my beloved</i>

357
00:29:32,593 --> 00:29:36,010
<i>Holding a wedding garland</i>

358
00:29:39,135 --> 00:29:43,552
<i>Everyone thought I'd go for pearls</i>

359
00:29:45,927 --> 00:29:50,843
<i>It was respect for my beloved
that I chose</i>

360
00:30:08,302 --> 00:30:12,802
<i>Since you came into my life,
the world turned new, O love</i>

361
00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:22,218
<i>You're everything I could ever want,
O love</i>

362
00:30:23,510 --> 00:30:26,260
<i>I lost my heart to you</i>

363
00:30:26,427 --> 00:30:27,593
Wait!

364
00:30:29,302 --> 00:30:33,927
<i>The world is now soaked in colour,
O love</i>

365
00:30:35,968 --> 00:30:40,760
<i>My eyes long to see you</i>

366
00:30:42,010 --> 00:30:45,843
<i>O beloved, when will you
come home to me?</i>

367
00:30:47,968 --> 00:30:51,093
<i>My heart is racing,
my breath quickens</i>

368
00:30:53,093 --> 00:30:55,802
<i>See how flustered I am</i>

369
00:30:57,718 --> 00:31:00,718
<i>O beloved, when will you
come home to me?</i>

370
00:31:04,177 --> 00:31:06,427
<i>My eyes long to see you</i>

371
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,968
Oh! That's your father's watch.

372
00:31:48,385 --> 00:31:51,302
He proudly gifted it to me.

373
00:31:51,718 --> 00:31:52,802
Do you know why?

374
00:31:53,010 --> 00:31:54,885
There can only be one reason.

375
00:31:55,427 --> 00:31:59,093
Your childhood dream was to join the army
like your father.

376
00:31:59,927 --> 00:32:01,760
Today that dream has come true.

377
00:32:12,968 --> 00:32:15,135
If this tiny scratch upsets you,

378
00:32:16,052 --> 00:32:18,552
what will you do when I confront
the enemy at the border?

379
00:32:18,843 --> 00:32:21,343
I'll hold my head up high
and tell everyone,

380
00:32:21,635 --> 00:32:23,968
I'm the wife of a true patriot.

381
00:32:26,385 --> 00:32:28,302
What if I don't come back?

382
00:32:30,010 --> 00:32:32,260
Don't say that, even in jest.

383
00:32:36,468 --> 00:32:39,343
I know this uniform does not only stand
for bravery,

384
00:32:39,843 --> 00:32:41,302
it demands sacrifice too.

385
00:32:44,135 --> 00:32:46,010
When I married you,

386
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,843
I accepted this is how our life would be.

387
00:32:53,843 --> 00:32:55,135
Forgive me.

388
00:32:56,302 --> 00:32:57,927
I didn't want to upset you.

389
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,218
You mean everything to me.

390
00:33:02,718 --> 00:33:07,010
If anything happens to you,
my heart will be in pieces.

391
00:33:12,052 --> 00:33:13,802
But I promise you,

392
00:33:14,552 --> 00:33:16,677
I will always hold my head up high.

393
00:33:21,552 --> 00:33:24,260
I'm a Rajput, I promise I'll never
let you down.

394
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:30,927
Now smile. You'll brighten my day!

395
00:33:34,260 --> 00:33:35,093
A little more!

396
00:34:51,968 --> 00:34:54,843
Long live Mother India!

397
00:35:02,843 --> 00:35:08,635
<i>The Chinese patrolling units had
infiltrated India and started spreading fear.</i>

398
00:35:09,343 --> 00:35:11,843
<i>We were on our way to Rezang La.</i>

399
00:35:12,885 --> 00:35:15,010
<i>This was the first time that</i>

400
00:35:15,218 --> 00:35:17,677
<i>I was climbing to an altitude
of 17,000 feet.</i>

401
00:35:17,802 --> 00:35:19,677
Brother, slow down!

402
00:35:20,593 --> 00:35:25,343
Have you been this high before?
To Rezang La?

403
00:35:25,677 --> 00:35:29,093
- Our Major is always well prepared.
- Yes!

404
00:35:29,302 --> 00:35:34,010
He's been training us to climb up
and down for the last two weeks.

405
00:35:34,218 --> 00:35:35,843
With all our kit!

406
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:39,677
Did you have the pill?

407
00:35:39,843 --> 00:35:45,177
The pill? Why's everyone after me
about the pill?

408
00:35:45,302 --> 00:35:46,718
- I'm perfectly fine.
- Right!

409
00:35:46,843 --> 00:35:49,843
I'm just... feeling cold.

410
00:35:51,677 --> 00:35:53,093
Hey, brother!

411
00:35:54,385 --> 00:35:55,427
There! He's done it!

412
00:35:55,552 --> 00:35:57,885
That's why you're told to have
the pill.

413
00:35:59,510 --> 00:36:02,885
We know you're not sick. It's to get you
adjusted to the altitude.

414
00:36:03,010 --> 00:36:04,010
Come. Rinse your mouth.

415
00:36:04,260 --> 00:36:07,802
It's no joke climbing
to a 17,000 foot altitude.

416
00:36:09,260 --> 00:36:11,385
- Why have you stopped?
- Sir!

417
00:36:11,635 --> 00:36:13,385
At ease! What's wrong with him?

418
00:36:13,635 --> 00:36:16,760
Sir, the poor fellow is
in a really bad state.

419
00:36:17,302 --> 00:36:20,343
With your permission,
can I wait here with him?

420
00:36:21,052 --> 00:36:22,385
I'll catch up with you soon.

421
00:36:22,510 --> 00:36:24,552
You can fool him, but not me!

422
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,885
No, sir, what are you saying?

423
00:36:27,010 --> 00:36:29,468
Just look at him.
He's trembling.

424
00:36:29,677 --> 00:36:32,843
You've become very generous?
Give the pill, hurry up!

425
00:36:33,093 --> 00:36:34,218
Sir.

426
00:36:34,677 --> 00:36:36,010
Vishanchand!

427
00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:37,843
- Hey, Eggplant!
- Sir!

428
00:36:38,052 --> 00:36:40,968
It's your duty to get these
two fellows moving. OK?

429
00:36:41,343 --> 00:36:42,927
- OK, sir.
- Thank you, uncle.

430
00:36:43,718 --> 00:36:45,677
I'm not your uncle, but you'll
turn me into one.

431
00:36:46,093 --> 00:36:47,343
Sorry, Surja sir.

432
00:36:47,802 --> 00:36:49,510
- Catch up soon.
- Sir.

433
00:36:50,052 --> 00:36:50,927
Drink up.

434
00:36:51,135 --> 00:36:52,302
Oh man!

435
00:36:52,718 --> 00:36:56,718
I could hardly sleep, thanks to uncle,
who made me sleep near a herd of yaks.

436
00:37:16,468 --> 00:37:17,010
All OK?

437
00:37:17,302 --> 00:37:21,635
Yes, sir. Our radio operator
ran out of breath.

438
00:37:21,927 --> 00:37:24,427
It's his first day. He'll get
used to it.

439
00:37:24,718 --> 00:37:25,843
Yes, sir.

440
00:37:30,635 --> 00:37:32,010
- Good day!
- Good day!

441
00:37:46,552 --> 00:37:48,093
- Greetings!
- Julley, sir!

442
00:37:48,677 --> 00:37:50,260
- Julley, Tsering!
- Julley, sir!

443
00:37:50,802 --> 00:37:54,927
He never stops playing with the football
you gave him.

444
00:37:55,635 --> 00:37:57,552
This is the age for him to play.

445
00:37:57,843 --> 00:37:59,135
He won't be playing at your age!

446
00:38:00,427 --> 00:38:02,385
- Where to?
- My wife is pregnant.

447
00:38:03,093 --> 00:38:03,843
Congrats!

448
00:38:04,385 --> 00:38:07,510
I'm taking her to her mother's.
She'll be there for a few days.

449
00:38:08,260 --> 00:38:11,010
That's good.
You two should stay with her.

450
00:38:11,718 --> 00:38:13,635
There's a war on.
Anything can happen.

451
00:38:15,885 --> 00:38:17,552
- Greetings!
- Julley, sir!

452
00:38:17,968 --> 00:38:20,093
Go down to the valley for a few days,

453
00:38:20,343 --> 00:38:21,968
come back when the war is over.

454
00:38:37,093 --> 00:38:39,302
I want three Platoons of 40 men each.

455
00:38:39,677 --> 00:38:40,302
Sir.

456
00:38:40,427 --> 00:38:43,010
9th Platoon. Take position here
with three LMGs.

457
00:38:43,218 --> 00:38:43,843
Sir.

458
00:38:43,968 --> 00:38:45,968
This position is the closest
to the border.

459
00:38:46,843 --> 00:38:49,885
Hari Ram, 8th Platoon. Three LMGs
will be behind them,

460
00:38:50,135 --> 00:38:51,927
at a distance of 900 metres.

461
00:38:52,135 --> 00:38:55,093
- Here. Bang in the middle of the Pass.
- Sir.

462
00:38:56,010 --> 00:38:58,093
Surja, 7th Platoon.

463
00:38:58,468 --> 00:39:01,302
Take position on the mountain range,
near headquarters.

464
00:39:01,635 --> 00:39:04,302
The mortar section stays
400 metres away.

465
00:39:04,927 --> 00:39:06,677
- Behind the mountain range.
- Yes, sir.

466
00:39:06,927 --> 00:39:08,552
- Any questions?
- No, sir.

467
00:39:08,802 --> 00:39:09,677
Ram Ram, sir.

468
00:39:09,802 --> 00:39:10,968
Ah, radio man!

469
00:39:11,427 --> 00:39:12,927
There's disturbance
on the signal.

470
00:39:13,135 --> 00:39:15,635
Report back to me when it's fixed.

471
00:39:15,968 --> 00:39:17,885
I need to contact the battalion
headquarters.

472
00:39:18,177 --> 00:39:19,677
- Yes, sir.
- Carry on!

473
00:39:26,885 --> 00:39:29,635
Hey, you spoilt Mama's little pets!

474
00:39:33,135 --> 00:39:35,343
Listen carefully, boys.

475
00:39:35,968 --> 00:39:37,927
It takes two hours to boil water.

476
00:39:38,177 --> 00:39:40,343
It took me two hours to make
this soup.

477
00:39:40,718 --> 00:39:42,677
If anyone complains...

478
00:39:42,802 --> 00:39:45,093
they'll get a good whacking

479
00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:51,385
Brother! Love it!

480
00:39:51,843 --> 00:39:53,510
How can you say you love it?

481
00:39:53,677 --> 00:39:55,135
I swear on Lord Krishna,

482
00:39:55,260 --> 00:39:57,260
I was starving, after building
the bunkers.

483
00:39:57,927 --> 00:40:00,468
Uncle's soup tastes superb!

484
00:40:00,802 --> 00:40:02,843
No kidding. I'd happily pay
for this soup.

485
00:40:03,427 --> 00:40:04,385
Drop it! Enough flattery!

486
00:40:04,510 --> 00:40:07,677
Tell you what. When I retire,
my pension is yours!

487
00:40:08,885 --> 00:40:11,760
When a buffalo takes a dump,
you'll be sprayed.

488
00:40:13,593 --> 00:40:14,718
- Who you talking to?
- You!

489
00:40:14,843 --> 00:40:16,260
Hey you, sour face!

490
00:40:16,677 --> 00:40:19,260
Don't act smart. Drink the soup.

491
00:40:19,593 --> 00:40:20,760
Uncle is offended!

492
00:40:21,510 --> 00:40:22,593
Smartasses!

493
00:40:22,677 --> 00:40:25,802
Uncle! Give this soup to the Chinese!

494
00:40:25,919 --> 00:40:29,739
They'll run away.
Weightless and tasteless!

495
00:40:30,718 --> 00:40:34,843
Your comments are tasteless.
You always spoil things.

496
00:40:35,177 --> 00:40:38,135
- Tell him there's a war going on.
- "There's a war going on."

497
00:40:38,385 --> 00:40:40,718
- Tell him it's not his friend's wedding.
- As if!

498
00:40:40,843 --> 00:40:42,218
- Did I say anything?
- Well?

499
00:40:42,343 --> 00:40:43,843
- Didn't hear it.
- I did!

500
00:40:43,968 --> 00:40:45,927
- I'm not responsible for his hearing.
- Is he?

501
00:40:46,052 --> 00:40:47,635
- Am I responsible?
- Then who is?

502
00:40:47,885 --> 00:40:49,093
Ram Ram! Sit down!

503
00:40:49,593 --> 00:40:50,510
Keep sitting.

504
00:40:51,427 --> 00:40:52,468
The Major!

505
00:40:53,093 --> 00:40:55,302
- Ram Ram, sir!
- Ram Ram.

506
00:40:55,635 --> 00:40:57,177
Did you like Jairam's soup?

507
00:40:57,302 --> 00:41:00,260
Nanhe loved it, sir.
He was licking his cup!

508
00:41:00,718 --> 00:41:02,343
I was licking my fingers, sir!

509
00:41:04,510 --> 00:41:05,427
Sir!

510
00:41:07,177 --> 00:41:09,760
With your permission, may I ask you
a question?

511
00:41:10,552 --> 00:41:11,343
Go ahead.

512
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,843
Sir, what's the story behind your name?

513
00:41:16,593 --> 00:41:18,718
He's the Major. Not some uncle
of yours.

514
00:41:19,260 --> 00:41:20,552
It's OK, Surja.

515
00:41:21,093 --> 00:41:24,260
I'm sure everyone has the same question
in mind.

516
00:41:24,468 --> 00:41:28,135
- Yes, sir.
- We even bet on it.

517
00:41:28,385 --> 00:41:29,302
I said,

518
00:41:29,718 --> 00:41:32,260
your parents called you "Shaitan"

519
00:41:32,468 --> 00:41:34,343
because you were
devilishly naughty.

520
00:41:35,052 --> 00:41:36,760
A great imagination.

521
00:41:37,093 --> 00:41:42,515
Ram Lal said your parents gave you
that name to ward off the evil eye.

522
00:41:42,843 --> 00:41:45,552
Like some call their kid after
the demon Ravan.

523
00:41:46,093 --> 00:41:47,052
Sir, I didn't say that.

524
00:41:47,177 --> 00:41:49,718
I'm glad they didn't call me
Kumbhakaran! Right, Surja?

525
00:41:50,510 --> 00:41:53,260
I doubt your parents named you
"Shaitan".

526
00:41:53,593 --> 00:41:55,552
It must've been some nasty teacher.

527
00:41:55,677 --> 00:41:57,802
- He's right.
- That's what he said.

528
00:41:58,093 --> 00:42:00,093
- You crazy? I didn't say that.
- You did!

529
00:42:00,260 --> 00:42:01,135
Sir, he's kidding.

530
00:42:01,593 --> 00:42:02,635
That's enough!

531
00:42:03,052 --> 00:42:06,010
The Major is being kind. It doesn't
mean you can cross the line.

532
00:42:06,427 --> 00:42:08,010
Sorry, sir.

533
00:42:09,718 --> 00:42:11,427
- Dharam Pal!
- Yes, sir.

534
00:42:11,968 --> 00:42:15,677
I heard you singing when we climbing up.
You have a good voice.

535
00:42:16,802 --> 00:42:17,718
Thank you, sir.

536
00:42:18,052 --> 00:42:19,260
He sings very well, sir.

537
00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:24,343
<i>All India Radio</i> asked him to come
and sing for them, but he didn't.

538
00:42:24,843 --> 00:42:26,760
A great loss for the country!

539
00:42:27,427 --> 00:42:28,385
You should've gone.

540
00:42:29,010 --> 00:42:31,885
Today Dharam Pal Singh Dahiya
could've been a famous singer.

541
00:42:32,343 --> 00:42:33,843
Take sir's blessings.

542
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:36,093
All my family joined the army, sir.

543
00:42:36,468 --> 00:42:38,135
My father said:

544
00:42:38,510 --> 00:42:41,635
"Join the army. You might be saved
from an enemy bullet,

545
00:42:41,885 --> 00:42:44,927
"but if you become a singer,
my bullet won't spare you!"

546
00:42:46,427 --> 00:42:49,427
- He was saved!
- Saved from Papa!

547
00:42:49,718 --> 00:42:53,718
Your father isn't here,
so don't worry. Sing for us.

548
00:42:54,677 --> 00:42:57,552
- Go on, sing!
- He's a better singer than soldier!

549
00:42:57,854 --> 00:43:00,427
The Major is asking you, so sing!

550
00:43:23,177 --> 00:43:25,635
<i>The day I left home</i>

551
00:43:26,260 --> 00:43:28,343
<i>The day I left my village</i>

552
00:43:28,968 --> 00:43:31,260
<i>The love that flowed</i>

553
00:43:31,802 --> 00:43:33,510
<i>How I miss it</i>

554
00:43:34,468 --> 00:43:36,718
<i>My mother held me tight</i>

555
00:43:37,260 --> 00:43:39,427
<i>"Go, my soldier, go!"</i>

556
00:43:41,260 --> 00:43:43,677
<i>How I miss those moments</i>

557
00:43:44,010 --> 00:43:46,635
<i>Those courtyards, those terraces</i>

558
00:43:46,843 --> 00:43:49,052
<i>Those lanes, those paths</i>

559
00:43:49,552 --> 00:43:51,802
<i>Those childhood friends</i>

560
00:43:52,260 --> 00:43:54,427
<i>How I miss them all</i>

561
00:43:54,927 --> 00:43:57,302
<i>Her veil flying in the air</i>

562
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,385
<i>Her bewitching kohl-lined eyes
drove me mad</i>

563
00:44:03,260 --> 00:44:05,385
<i>How I miss them</i>

564
00:44:07,052 --> 00:44:09,218

<i>"Go, my soldier, go!"</i>

569
00:44:23,718 --> 00:44:27,093
<i>How I miss those moments now</i>

570
00:45:01,718 --> 00:45:03,843
<i>The sparkling Diwali lights</i>

571
00:45:04,468 --> 00:45:06,760
<i>The sprinkling colours of Holi</i>

572
00:45:07,260 --> 00:45:09,427
<i>Those wonderful nights</i>

573
00:45:09,843 --> 00:45:12,260
<i>Those wonderful days</i>

574
00:45:12,677 --> 00:45:14,927
<i>My heart raced seeing her</i>

575
00:45:15,302 --> 00:45:17,427
<i>No matter how annoyed she was</i>

576
00:45:18,010 --> 00:45:20,343
<i>I could never find peace
without her near</i>

577
00:45:23,843 --> 00:45:25,593
<i>Without her near</i>

578
00:45:30,260 --> 00:45:31,760
<i>Those moments of love</i>

579
00:45:33,010 --> 00:45:35,343
<i>The sound of wedding drums</i>

580
00:45:35,843 --> 00:45:37,802
<i>Those familiar songs</i>

581
00:45:38,427 --> 00:45:40,552
<i>How I miss them</i>

582
00:45:41,343 --> 00:45:45,468
<i>Those folk songs of old</i>

583
00:45:46,718 --> 00:45:50,843
<i>Known and unknown,
how I miss them</i>

584
00:45:53,468 --> 00:45:55,677
<i>The day I left home</i>

585
00:45:56,302 --> 00:45:58,385
<i>The day I left my village</i>

586
00:45:58,968 --> 00:46:01,260
<i>The love that flowed</i>

587
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,677
<i>How I miss it</i>

588
00:46:04,593 --> 00:46:06,802
<i>My mother held me tight</i>

00:46:07,260 --> 00:46:09,010
<i>"Go, my soldier, go!"</i>

590
00:46:09,927 --> 00:46:13,593
<i>How I miss those moments</i>

<i>How I miss them</i>

592
00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:46,635
<i>How I miss them</i>

593
00:46:48,510 --> 00:46:52,135
We will all chant in one voice:

594
00:46:52,385 --> 00:46:54,843
Run, Chinese, run!

595
00:46:55,260 --> 00:46:57,552
Run, Chinese, run!

596
00:47:01,677 --> 00:47:02,760
Sir!

597
00:47:05,135 --> 00:47:07,635
Good evening, sir!
All set at Rezang La!

598
00:47:07,802 --> 00:47:09,760
<i>Awaiting further orders. Over.</i>

599
00:47:10,135 --> 00:47:11,718
Three Alpha, listen carefully.

600
00:47:12,052 --> 00:47:15,260
The enemy has captured the area
surrounding the Eastern Post

601
00:47:15,385 --> 00:47:16,802
and Daulat Beg Oldie.

602
00:47:17,135 --> 00:47:19,927
<i>We have no eyes on the
Xinjiang-Tibet Highway.</i>

603
00:47:20,093 --> 00:47:22,635
Reports of heavy troop movement there
are coming through.

604
00:47:22,843 --> 00:47:25,468
But we have no way to confirm this.
Over.

605
00:47:25,718 --> 00:47:28,093
I'll get up higher and set up
a Listening Post, sir.

606
00:47:28,343 --> 00:47:30,218
<i>With your permission. Over.</i>

607
00:47:30,635 --> 00:47:33,843
Three Alpha! This is your Commander
speaking, request granted.

608
00:47:34,093 --> 00:47:36,260
<i>Report back to us as soon
as you get any intel.</i>

609
00:47:36,510 --> 00:47:37,510
Out.

610
00:48:12,927 --> 00:48:13,927
Here.

611
00:48:14,677 --> 00:48:16,927
I want a Listening Post set up here
by sunset.

612
00:48:17,052 --> 00:48:17,718
Yes, sir.

613
00:48:17,843 --> 00:48:19,677
Ram Chander! Check the radio.

614
00:48:19,927 --> 00:48:21,135
Nanha.

615
00:48:22,885 --> 00:48:26,177
Your attention should be focused
only on that approach.

616
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,135
Hear any movement on the other side
of the gap, inform me at once.

617
00:48:30,468 --> 00:48:31,135
Yes, sir.

618
00:48:32,218 --> 00:48:33,093
Out.

619
00:48:33,260 --> 00:48:34,968
- The radio is working, sir.
- Good.

620
00:48:35,218 --> 00:48:38,427
- Your call sign is Charlie 7.
- OK.

621
00:48:39,593 --> 00:48:42,302
Bhanu. Ram Chander.
You two, come with me.

622
00:48:42,718 --> 00:48:44,343
- OK. Good luck, boys.
- Sir!

623
00:48:44,968 --> 00:48:45,968
Come, Nanhe.

624
00:48:47,427 --> 00:48:50,718
The Major has asked us to watch
that area.

625
00:49:08,385 --> 00:49:09,093
Sir!

626
00:49:10,093 --> 00:49:11,218
That's Chagga village.

627
00:49:13,802 --> 00:49:14,468
Let's go.

628
00:49:50,635 --> 00:49:55,135
Sir... I told them to go down
to the valley.

629
00:49:56,343 --> 00:49:57,927
But they didn't...

630
00:50:04,635 --> 00:50:06,218
Where would they go, Bhanu?

631
00:50:08,510 --> 00:50:10,093
This is their home.

632
00:50:11,385 --> 00:50:12,802
Their land.

633
00:50:23,968 --> 00:50:25,677
Take care of Bhanu!

634
00:50:26,052 --> 00:50:27,718
Bhanu, you'll be OK.

635
00:52:57,052 --> 00:52:58,385
Sir, you OK?

636
00:53:03,677 --> 00:53:04,552
Radio!

637
00:53:04,968 --> 00:53:06,343
We're in danger of losing NEFA.

638
00:53:07,302 --> 00:53:09,385
Sir, Major Bhati is calling in.

639
00:53:10,010 --> 00:53:11,968
Sir, the Brigade Commander.

640
00:53:13,677 --> 00:53:15,635
<i>Three Alpha, report. Over.</i>

641
00:53:15,843 --> 00:53:21,135
The enemy's motorised infantry
is advancing towards Rezang La. Over.

642
00:53:22,927 --> 00:53:24,718
Enemy strength? Over.

643
00:53:27,552 --> 00:53:29,093
About 3000, sir.

644
00:53:29,635 --> 00:53:30,552
<i>Over.</i>

645
00:53:33,343 --> 00:53:35,218
I'll have to talk to the Division HQ.

646
00:53:35,718 --> 00:53:38,010
Hold your positions for further orders.
Over.

647
00:53:38,218 --> 00:53:39,843
There isn't enough time, sir.

648
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,552
They'll be here soon, sir.
Over.

649
00:53:43,885 --> 00:53:45,760
Then fall back, Major, fall back!

650
00:53:46,093 --> 00:53:49,802
<i>I can't send you additional forces,
you know that.</i>

651
00:53:50,093 --> 00:53:51,968
Retreat with your Company.

652
00:53:52,093 --> 00:53:55,968
Reinforce Alpha and Bravo Company
at Chushul's Eastern approach. Over.

653
00:53:56,385 --> 00:53:59,552
Three Alpha, if we retreat now,

654
00:54:00,343 --> 00:54:03,927
they'll be at Chushul and Kashmir
within days.

655
00:54:06,260 --> 00:54:07,968
With all due respect, sir,

656
00:54:09,260 --> 00:54:11,427
I cannot concede defeat
without fighting.

657
00:54:12,135 --> 00:54:12,927
Over.

658
00:54:14,468 --> 00:54:15,760
Roger that.

659
00:54:18,510 --> 00:54:19,927
Think it over again.

660
00:54:23,343 --> 00:54:27,927
Talk to your JCOs and report back
to me. Out.

661
00:54:40,218 --> 00:54:41,260
Sir?

662
00:54:46,468 --> 00:54:49,927
3000 Chinese soldiers are advancing
towards Rezang La.

663
00:54:52,552 --> 00:54:55,510
But Shaitan does not want
to retreat.

664
00:54:57,468 --> 00:54:59,135
He was right.

665
00:55:01,135 --> 00:55:04,427
Sir, we have only 120 soldiers there.

666
00:55:05,302 --> 00:55:08,093
The enemy has a definite advantage.

667
00:55:11,802 --> 00:55:13,843
You're goddamn right.

668
00:55:21,093 --> 00:55:22,260
Sir?

669
00:55:24,385 --> 00:55:26,302
What does your heart say?

670
00:55:27,885 --> 00:55:29,343
"You cannot retreat."

671
00:55:30,135 --> 00:55:31,093
And your mind?

672
00:55:32,093 --> 00:55:33,760
It says listen to my heart.

673
00:55:35,218 --> 00:55:36,218
Sir...

674
00:55:37,843 --> 00:55:41,093
then you have your answer.

675
00:55:43,968 --> 00:55:47,302
I can follow my heart
when deciding my own fate,

676
00:55:49,135 --> 00:55:51,427
but not the fate of 120 soldiers.

677
00:55:57,218 --> 00:55:58,885
Ram Chander, the radio.

678
00:56:05,677 --> 00:56:07,843
Connect me to all three Platoons.

679
00:56:11,427 --> 00:56:15,635
Sir, the Company Commander wishes
to address everyone.

680
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,843
- 8th Platoon?
- Yes, sir!

681
00:56:19,427 --> 00:56:21,302
Gather around me.

682
00:56:31,677 --> 00:56:35,677
Charlie Company, this is your
Company Commander, Major Shaitan Singh Bhati.

683
00:56:37,385 --> 00:56:40,427
Tonight a perilous storm
is coming our way

684
00:56:41,718 --> 00:56:43,552
in the shape of 3000 Chinese soldiers.

685
00:56:44,635 --> 00:56:49,177
<i>We could retreat and take a
defensive position at Chushul's Eastside.</i>

686
00:56:51,052 --> 00:56:54,843
<i>Or hold our current position
and try to stop the enemy.</i>

687
00:56:58,135 --> 00:57:00,093
<i>We can protect this land.</i>

688
00:57:01,968 --> 00:57:03,135
This land

689
00:57:04,802 --> 00:57:07,385
where a single blade of grass
does not grow.

690
00:57:08,802 --> 00:57:11,760
But it's not about the land,
it's about a dream.

691
00:57:12,385 --> 00:57:16,468
<i>A dream that came true after years
of struggle.</i>

692
00:57:17,052 --> 00:57:21,135
The dream of freedom that so many
sacrificed their lives for.

693
00:57:22,510 --> 00:57:26,718
The dream of one India -
from the Himalayas to Kanyakumari.

694
00:57:33,802 --> 00:57:37,552
Today our enemy has its sights on
our forefathers' dream.

695
00:57:38,343 --> 00:57:40,802
On Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir.

696
00:57:42,177 --> 00:57:43,843
It's likely

697
00:57:44,510 --> 00:57:48,093
this is a mere piece of land
won in battle for them,

698
00:57:48,843 --> 00:57:50,427
but for me,

699
00:57:51,010 --> 00:57:53,468
this is Mother India's crown.

700
00:57:54,718 --> 00:57:57,385
And to abandon my mother's crown

701
00:57:57,635 --> 00:58:00,677
at the feet of the enemy
is unacceptable to me.

702
00:58:05,468 --> 00:58:07,302
Someone once told me:

703
00:58:09,135 --> 00:58:10,968
"This uniform does not
only stand for bravery,

704
00:58:11,093 --> 00:58:12,760
"it demands sacrifice too."

705
00:58:15,552 --> 00:58:16,968
That time has come.

706
00:58:23,177 --> 00:58:28,802
I will fight till my last bullet,
till my last drop of blood falls.

707
00:58:28,927 --> 00:58:30,885
But I will not retreat.

708
00:58:31,635 --> 00:58:34,677
If any of you wish to leave,
you may.

709
00:58:36,135 --> 00:58:38,302
I shall not hold it against you.

710
00:58:39,677 --> 00:58:43,135
But I... will not retreat.

711
00:59:16,135 --> 00:59:17,718
<i>Charlie Two.</i>

712
00:59:18,427 --> 00:59:21,760
<i>Sir, you once said we were
the sons of farmers.</i>

713
00:59:23,218 --> 00:59:26,302
No one knows the value of land
better than us.

714
00:59:26,510 --> 00:59:30,010
This time the fight isn't about us,
it's about our motherland.

715
00:59:30,302 --> 00:59:32,302
No one will retreat.

716
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:41,135
We're lucky to have the chance to fight
and die for our country, sir.

717
00:59:41,260 --> 00:59:43,718
9th Platoon is going nowhere.

718
00:59:43,927 --> 00:59:46,885
We're all with you, till our last bullet.

719
00:59:47,093 --> 00:59:50,010
I speak on behalf of 8th Platoon, sir.

720
00:59:51,010 --> 00:59:53,552
There's no question of us retreating.

721
00:59:55,135 --> 00:59:57,843
We stay here with you.

722
00:59:58,885 --> 01:00:01,552
We fight here, we die here.

723
01:00:02,635 --> 01:00:04,427
Till our last breath,

724
01:00:04,843 --> 01:00:06,760
till our last bullet.

725
01:00:07,885 --> 01:00:08,718
Over.

726
01:00:43,593 --> 01:00:46,885
<i>The People's Republic of China
has stated</i>

727
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:50,343
<i>they have decided to stop hostilities
against India,</i>

728
01:00:50,510 --> 01:00:51,843
<i>and have declared ceasefire.</i>

729
01:00:52,968 --> 01:00:56,593
<i>Their armies are now deployed behind
the Line of Control.</i>

730
01:00:56,802 --> 01:00:58,718
Sir, careful.

731
01:00:59,218 --> 01:01:00,510
Sir, careful.

732
01:01:11,343 --> 01:01:13,260
I want to talk to the CO.

733
01:01:14,135 --> 01:01:15,843
I want to talk to the CO.

734
01:01:16,677 --> 01:01:18,510
I want to talk to the CO!

735
01:01:19,135 --> 01:01:19,927
Now!

736
01:01:23,385 --> 01:01:26,218
Our entire conversation will be recorded.

737
01:01:28,677 --> 01:01:30,677
Tell me your service number,
name and rank.

738
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:37,177
Serial number 4182091.

739
01:01:38,677 --> 01:01:40,635
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav.

740
01:01:41,802 --> 01:01:45,385
13th Kumaon, Charlie Company's
radio operator, sir.

741
01:01:45,552 --> 01:01:47,302
Today is the 21st of November.

742
01:01:47,593 --> 01:01:49,510
11.20 am.

743
01:01:49,843 --> 01:01:52,635
I warn you whatever you may say
must be the truth,

744
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,552
and if you lie or mislead us,
you'll be court martialled.

745
01:01:56,302 --> 01:01:57,510
Understand?

746
01:02:04,218 --> 01:02:06,760
There's no reason for me to lie, sir.

747
01:02:11,010 --> 01:02:13,718
I'm only alive so I could tell you
the truth.

748
01:02:19,218 --> 01:02:21,260
So Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav,

749
01:02:21,885 --> 01:02:24,510
what happened on the 17th November
night?

750
01:02:31,302 --> 01:02:32,927
<i>We were waiting for the enemy.</i>

751
01:02:34,635 --> 01:02:37,135
<i>As darkness fell around us,</i>

752
01:02:37,927 --> 01:02:40,427
<i>the cold became unbearable.</i>

753
01:02:42,552 --> 01:02:45,510
<i>It was minus 24 degrees.</i>

754
01:02:47,802 --> 01:02:53,135
<i>The icy wind felt like a dagger
piercing through us.</i>

755
01:02:55,135 --> 01:02:58,718
<i>Only the Major seemed oblivious
to the freezing cold,</i>

756
01:03:02,885 --> 01:03:05,843
<i>as though a fire was burning
inside him.</i>

757
01:03:31,260 --> 01:03:33,677
Hey. Ram Lal!

758
01:03:34,885 --> 01:03:36,718
See something out there?

759
01:03:43,552 --> 01:03:46,218
There is something. Tell the Major.

760
01:03:46,468 --> 01:03:47,718
Charlie 7!

761
01:03:48,510 --> 01:03:50,218
Charlie 7, pass your message. Over.

762
01:03:50,510 --> 01:03:52,677
Sir, we see some movement
at the Myna gap.

763
01:03:52,885 --> 01:03:54,760
Looks like the enemy is knocking
at our door.

764
01:03:54,968 --> 01:03:58,468
Charlie 7. Be Alert. Out.

765
01:03:59,718 --> 01:04:00,510
9th Platoon!

766
01:04:00,718 --> 01:04:01,677
Yes, sir!

767
01:04:01,802 --> 01:04:05,010
Get ready. Uninvited guests were seen
at the gap.

768
01:04:17,510 --> 01:04:18,760
Charlie 7!

769
01:04:19,718 --> 01:04:21,177
Charlie 7. Pass. Over.

770
01:04:21,510 --> 01:04:24,843
Sir, it doesn't look like the enemy.
I think it's a herd of yaks.

771
01:04:25,302 --> 01:04:25,885
Over.

772
01:04:26,052 --> 01:04:27,510
<i>A herd of yaks?</i>

773
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:29,510
Are you sure? Over.

774
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,218
The fog is making it difficult
to see, sir.

775
01:04:32,510 --> 01:04:34,927
But I can smell them, sir. Over.

776
01:04:35,260 --> 01:04:37,302
I don't understand. Say again?
Over.

777
01:04:37,510 --> 01:04:40,552
I can smell them. Thanks to
Surja sir,

778
01:04:40,927 --> 01:04:43,218
I spent a night sleeping next
to some yaks.

779
01:04:43,635 --> 01:04:45,927
<i>Their smell has settled
in my nose.</i>

780
01:04:46,135 --> 01:04:47,260
<i>Over.</i>

781
01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:51,385
Charlie 7! Today we'll test
your smelling powers.

782
01:04:51,718 --> 01:04:52,718
Out.

783
01:05:13,635 --> 01:05:15,010
Charlie 7.

784
01:05:16,427 --> 01:05:20,135
My hunch was right, sir. They're not
the Chinese, they're yaks.

785
01:05:20,677 --> 01:05:22,427
Charlie 7! Well done!

786
01:05:23,010 --> 01:05:27,302
They probably wanted to learn
our position by sending yaks through.

787
01:05:27,718 --> 01:05:30,135
Your nose saved us!

788
01:05:30,468 --> 01:05:32,552
Stay in position. Over and out.

789
01:05:35,177 --> 01:05:38,510
Yes, brother! So it was a herd
of yaks!

790
01:05:40,635 --> 01:05:44,135
<i>This time the Chinese trap
did not work.</i>

791
01:05:44,468 --> 01:05:49,635
<i>Did we know if they cared
if their yaks or men were killed?</i>

792
01:05:51,218 --> 01:05:53,468
<i>They laid another trap for us.</i>

793
01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:09,802
Whatever happens, happens
for the best.

794
01:06:11,468 --> 01:06:12,885
Why say that?

795
01:06:13,260 --> 01:06:17,677
Look, if I hadn't beaten you up
that day,

796
01:06:18,427 --> 01:06:20,802
Surja sir wouldn't have made me
sleep near the yaks.

797
01:06:21,510 --> 01:06:24,218
And I would not have
recognised their smell.

798
01:06:24,593 --> 01:06:28,885
So my nose would not have saved
our Post today. Right?

799
01:06:31,510 --> 01:06:33,635
Be happy the Major Sahib showed up.

800
01:06:34,385 --> 01:06:38,510
Or I would've walloped you
and smashed your ear drums.

801
01:06:40,218 --> 01:06:42,260
Stop dreaming! OK?

802
01:06:43,218 --> 01:06:44,760
You should be happy the Major
turned up,

803
01:06:45,010 --> 01:06:48,802
or you'd be in two pieces.
Neither fish nor fowl.

804
01:07:06,510 --> 01:07:07,635
Did you write home?

805
01:07:09,552 --> 01:07:11,135
Look, brother Nanhe.

806
01:07:13,260 --> 01:07:15,552
I'm already sitting in Mother India's lap,

807
01:07:17,177 --> 01:07:20,093
and as for my family -
they're all right here.

808
01:07:20,468 --> 01:07:26,343
There's Nihal, Baingan, Jairam Uncle,
Surja sir,

809
01:07:30,218 --> 01:07:31,593
and you.

810
01:07:35,427 --> 01:07:38,135
So who do I write to?

811
01:07:49,885 --> 01:07:53,343
Nanhe. The damn Chinese are coming.

812
01:07:55,385 --> 01:07:57,468
Charlie 7! Over.

813
01:07:57,635 --> 01:08:00,885
Send a message to 7th Platoon. I need
the mortar section 200 metres up ahead.

814
01:08:01,052 --> 01:08:02,135
Sir!

815
01:08:02,552 --> 01:08:04,010
Charlie 7!

816
01:08:05,302 --> 01:08:06,927
Charlie 7. Go ahead. Over.

817
01:08:07,135 --> 01:08:09,177
Sir, a Chinese patrol is heading
towards the gap.

818
01:08:09,385 --> 01:08:11,177
About 15-20 men. Over.

819
01:08:11,510 --> 01:08:13,552
We're coming to back you up, Charlie 7.

820
01:08:13,802 --> 01:08:16,885
Till we get there, no one must fire.
Out.

821
01:08:18,260 --> 01:08:20,843
Don't fire. The Major Sahib
is on his way.

822
01:08:21,052 --> 01:08:23,510
Ram Chander, you stay here.
You come with me.

823
01:08:23,718 --> 01:08:25,927
Hari. Govind. Come with us.
Hurry.

824
01:08:51,343 --> 01:08:52,177
Hold!

825
01:09:00,802 --> 01:09:02,468
Let them get closer.

826
01:09:05,135 --> 01:09:05,718
Hold!

827
01:09:07,593 --> 01:09:08,552
Fire!

828
01:09:32,135 --> 01:09:33,843
- Grenade!
- Sir!

829
01:09:48,593 --> 01:09:50,093
RPG!

830
01:09:59,468 --> 01:10:00,635
Ram Lal!

831
01:10:03,468 --> 01:10:05,385
Ram Lal! Sir!

832
01:10:05,510 --> 01:10:08,885
Carry him back to the Company.
Hurry!

833
01:10:09,010 --> 01:10:11,468
Nanha, go with the Major Sahib. The rock's
too heavy, you can't move it.

834
01:10:11,593 --> 01:10:14,052
We won't leave you here, Ram Lal.

835
01:10:14,177 --> 01:10:16,885
Sir, take everyone back
to the Post.

836
01:10:17,177 --> 01:10:19,010
I'll cover you.

837
01:10:19,843 --> 01:10:22,135
If I don't kill 10 or 15
of them,

838
01:10:22,260 --> 01:10:25,510
I swear on Lord Hanuman,
dying won't be any fun.

839
01:10:29,802 --> 01:10:32,177
Give me a few grenades, sir.

840
01:10:35,260 --> 01:10:37,343
A few grenades, sir.

841
01:10:43,177 --> 01:10:45,135
Hail Lord Krishna!

842
01:10:46,343 --> 01:10:47,552
Hail Lord Krishna!

843
01:10:55,552 --> 01:10:56,593
Fall back!

844
01:11:03,093 --> 01:11:05,218
Nanhe, listen to me.

845
01:11:08,218 --> 01:11:09,760
I have something of yours.

846
01:11:13,510 --> 01:11:15,635
Here. Take this chocolate.

847
01:11:17,510 --> 01:11:20,177
I can't die indebted to you, my friend.

848
01:11:23,843 --> 01:11:24,885
Go!

849
01:12:19,052 --> 01:12:19,927
Grenade!

850
01:12:44,552 --> 01:12:46,302
We can continue tomorrow,
if you prefer.

851
01:12:48,593 --> 01:12:49,885
No, sir.

852
01:12:54,635 --> 01:12:57,427
If we stop after every incident,

853
01:12:58,260 --> 01:13:00,385
it will take very long.

854
01:13:02,593 --> 01:13:03,760
Let's carry on.

855
01:13:13,343 --> 01:13:16,802
We lost our Listening Post.

856
01:13:18,718 --> 01:13:20,343
But we knew

857
01:13:22,427 --> 01:13:24,635
this was just the beginning.

858
01:13:26,885 --> 01:13:30,052
The Chinese could attack
at any time.

859
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:37,427
It was a very long night, sir.

860
01:13:39,635 --> 01:13:42,010
<i>One of us had already been martyred.</i>

861
01:13:52,635 --> 01:13:53,760
Here.

862
01:14:11,260 --> 01:14:13,510
Son, we're soldiers.

863
01:14:14,677 --> 01:14:17,177
The day we put our uniforms on,

864
01:14:17,552 --> 01:14:20,135
we tied death to our chest.

865
01:14:21,927 --> 01:14:25,885
Ram Lal was a brave soldier.

866
01:14:27,218 --> 01:14:30,052
He died like a brave soldier.

867
01:14:31,302 --> 01:14:33,635
And when a soldier dies,

868
01:14:34,260 --> 01:14:40,343
you don't mourn him... you salute him
with your head held high.

869
01:14:43,093 --> 01:14:45,052
We're Ahirs.

870
01:14:45,635 --> 01:14:48,218
Lord Krishna's devotees.

871
01:14:49,052 --> 01:14:52,177
We take His name before we go
to battle

872
01:14:53,385 --> 01:14:55,927
and cry: "Hail Lord Krishna!"

873
01:14:59,177 --> 01:15:01,302
If you want

874
01:15:02,635 --> 01:15:05,552
Ram Lal's sacrifice
not to go in vain,

875
01:15:07,177 --> 01:15:09,510
then pull yourself up,

876
01:15:10,510 --> 01:15:13,510
and get ready to face the enemy.

877
01:15:15,343 --> 01:15:19,635
It's time to hold Lord Krishna's weapon
and enter the battlefield.

878
01:15:55,593 --> 01:15:59,135
<i>The Chinese had the upper hand
in this war in every respect.</i>

879
01:15:59,843 --> 01:16:02,218
<i>They had the weapons and the food.</i>

880
01:16:03,177 --> 01:16:06,468
<i>Only one thing was working
against them:</i>

881
01:16:07,635 --> 01:16:09,802
<i>General Gao's hastiness.</i>

882
01:16:10,885 --> 01:16:15,760
<i>He wanted to seize Rezang La
and advance towards Chushul.</i>

883
01:16:38,510 --> 01:16:42,468
<i>They decided to attack us
with all their might</i>

884
01:16:43,135 --> 01:16:45,177
<i>under cover of the storm.</i>

885
01:16:45,552 --> 01:16:48,510
<i>He believed we Indians would not know</i>

886
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,843
<i>what hit us.</i>

887
01:16:58,588 --> 01:17:03,385
Sir, what do you think?
Will they come through here again?

888
01:17:05,802 --> 01:17:07,427
Yes, through here.

889
01:17:08,802 --> 01:17:10,427
And the attack will be even
fiercer.

890
01:17:14,302 --> 01:17:15,385
But not immediately.

891
01:17:17,635 --> 01:17:18,593
Meaning?

892
01:17:21,843 --> 01:17:22,802
Look over there.

893
01:17:23,927 --> 01:17:26,302
The storm will hit in two hours.

894
01:17:27,510 --> 01:17:29,093
When it does,

895
01:17:30,177 --> 01:17:31,302
they'll attack.

896
01:17:32,302 --> 01:17:33,510
In the storm?

897
01:17:38,635 --> 01:17:39,885
I'd do the same.

898
01:17:45,510 --> 01:17:47,010
Get some rest.

899
01:17:47,552 --> 01:17:49,385
We still have two hours.

900
01:18:00,635 --> 01:18:01,927
Your son, sir?

901
01:18:04,885 --> 01:18:06,593
Mine's about the same age.

902
01:18:08,593 --> 01:18:11,385
We never realised how quickly
our children would grow.

903
01:18:12,927 --> 01:18:15,010
Sir, I'd go home whenever I could.

904
01:18:15,593 --> 01:18:18,510
He was so small the last time
I saw him.

905
01:18:19,046 --> 01:18:20,213
Now he's grown so much.

906
01:18:22,885 --> 01:18:24,510
A soldier's life

907
01:18:27,093 --> 01:18:29,343
demands sacrifice at the border,

908
01:18:31,135 --> 01:18:33,385
while his family makes sacrifices
at home.

909
01:18:36,343 --> 01:18:37,052
Get some rest.

910
01:18:44,843 --> 01:18:46,427
<i>I want lots of firecrackers.</i>

911
01:18:46,718 --> 01:18:49,135
Flowerpot, sparklers and a rocket.

912
01:18:50,093 --> 01:18:52,135
But you're too young.

913
01:18:52,552 --> 01:18:55,718
If the rocket flies you away,
who'll bring you back?

914
01:18:56,718 --> 01:18:58,343
- You!
- Me?

915
01:19:00,135 --> 01:19:02,802
OK. I'll get your firecrackers.
Now take this.

916
01:19:03,093 --> 01:19:04,135
OK.

917
01:19:04,427 --> 01:19:06,718
Sir, greetings.

918
01:19:07,010 --> 01:19:07,968
Greetings.

919
01:19:16,885 --> 01:19:18,343
What is it?

920
01:19:18,843 --> 01:19:22,302
A telegram from headquarters,
I must leave today.

921
01:19:24,718 --> 01:19:26,843
Son, Diwali is in four days.

922
01:19:27,510 --> 01:19:30,510
That's the only festival
you spend with us.

923
01:19:31,718 --> 01:19:34,177
Sugan, tell him to stay.

924
01:19:38,927 --> 01:19:40,135
Let him go, Ma.

925
01:19:42,177 --> 01:19:45,593
Before being a son,
father and husband,

926
01:19:48,302 --> 01:19:50,010
he's a soldier of this land.

927
01:20:16,802 --> 01:20:21,093
<i>Glory to Mother Lakshmi!</i>

928
01:20:22,593 --> 01:20:26,552
<i>Glory to Mother Lakshmi!</i>

929
01:20:29,218 --> 01:20:33,093
<i>Glory to Mother Lakshmi!</i>

930
01:20:34,593 --> 01:20:38,093
<i>Worshipping You, day and night</i>

931
01:20:38,677 --> 01:20:41,677
<i>Worshipping Mother, day and night</i>

932
01:20:42,593 --> 01:20:46,135
<i>Are Lords Brahma and Vishnu</i>

933
01:20:47,218 --> 01:20:50,927
<i>Glory to Mother Lakshmi</i>

934
01:21:01,593 --> 01:21:03,135
Sugan, these lights...?

935
01:21:07,510 --> 01:21:10,468
For me it's Diwali whenever
you are here.

936
01:21:29,968 --> 01:21:32,177
Next year we'll have a grand Diwali

937
01:21:32,718 --> 01:21:35,093
and forget I was away this year.

938
01:21:36,343 --> 01:21:37,802
I'll be waiting.

939
01:21:51,718 --> 01:21:53,010
What are you doing?

940
01:21:55,927 --> 01:21:57,677
Taking you with me.

941
01:22:11,635 --> 01:22:12,968
I'll go now.

942
01:22:43,177 --> 01:22:45,552
Hail Lord Krishna!

943
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,802
Hail Lord Krishna!

944
01:22:53,427 --> 01:22:55,218
LMG team, take position!

945
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,010
Aim towards the gap!

946
01:22:59,677 --> 01:23:02,010
We must stop the enemy
from crossing the gap.

947
01:23:02,510 --> 01:23:05,635
Everyone must fire
at two minute intervals.

948
01:23:06,052 --> 01:23:09,510
Don't waste ammunition.

949
01:23:10,010 --> 01:23:11,760
One bullet, one enemy.

950
01:23:12,135 --> 01:23:16,302
If an enemy soldier crosses
the gap, then let him go.

951
01:23:16,635 --> 01:23:18,427
Do not waste a bullet on him.

952
01:23:18,593 --> 01:23:20,635
The rifle team will deal with him.

953
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,010
Alpha Three?

954
01:23:22,510 --> 01:23:25,718
- Alpha Three?
- All eyes on the gap. Understood?

955
01:23:25,843 --> 01:23:26,718
Yes, sir!

956
01:23:26,843 --> 01:23:28,968
Sir, there's no radio signal.

957
01:23:29,218 --> 01:23:31,385
Maybe it'll work on the 8th Platoon.
Shall I check?

958
01:23:31,552 --> 01:23:34,593
OK. As soon as you contact
the CO, report back to me.

959
01:23:34,885 --> 01:23:35,552
- Yes, sir.
- Go!

960
01:23:50,427 --> 01:23:51,760
Fire!

961
01:24:15,010 --> 01:24:19,510
Nanha, there are two men
to your right. Shoot them.

962
01:24:26,510 --> 01:24:28,552
One bullet, one enemy.

963
01:24:50,802 --> 01:24:54,052
Sir! We must destroy their mortars.

964
01:25:03,093 --> 01:25:05,718
We'll soon be in their firing line.

965
01:25:08,510 --> 01:25:09,635
Sir!

966
01:25:10,718 --> 01:25:11,385
Yes, sir?

967
01:25:11,552 --> 01:25:14,093
See that rock over there?

968
01:25:14,552 --> 01:25:17,927
Maybe the snow has loosened
the rock base.

969
01:25:21,593 --> 01:25:24,677
Shall we try throwing a grenade
at the target? Maybe...

970
01:25:25,385 --> 01:25:26,885
- Nanha!
- Yes, sir?

971
01:25:27,052 --> 01:25:29,927
Get two men and two bags of grenades
and follow me.

972
01:25:30,552 --> 01:25:32,177
- Operate the LMG.
- Yes, sir.

973
01:25:32,427 --> 01:25:33,885
Let's go! Nanha!

974
01:25:34,385 --> 01:25:36,385
Tara. Jairam. Hurry, come with me!

975
01:25:40,552 --> 01:25:42,052
Kundan Lal!

976
01:25:45,510 --> 01:25:46,885
Operate the LMG.

977
01:25:47,010 --> 01:25:48,427
Keep firing!

978
01:27:41,927 --> 01:27:44,302
- Grenade!
- Give it to me.

979
01:27:46,052 --> 01:27:46,677
Sir!

980
01:28:06,635 --> 01:28:07,760
Let's go.

981
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:10,010
Hurry.

982
01:28:24,260 --> 01:28:28,885
<i>Major Sahib's tactics frustrated
the Chinese.</i>

983
01:28:29,218 --> 01:28:33,093
<i>They came to ambush us,
but we ambushed them.</i>

984
01:28:34,552 --> 01:28:40,169
<i>Perhaps the enemy realised the power
of the officer who challenged them.</i>

985
01:28:51,052 --> 01:28:52,385
<i>But there</i>

986
01:28:53,468 --> 01:28:56,968
<i>we found 40 martyred soldiers
of the 9th Platoon.</i>

987
01:28:57,927 --> 01:29:01,010
<i>The war had started to show
its deadly side.</i>

988
01:29:01,343 --> 01:29:02,260
Sir...

989
01:29:04,093 --> 01:29:05,218
Sir...

990
01:29:15,968 --> 01:29:18,968
Sir, my time has come.

991
01:29:19,093 --> 01:29:20,177
No.

992
01:29:20,552 --> 01:29:21,552
Can you...

993
01:29:24,093 --> 01:29:25,968
take my medical kit?

994
01:29:27,927 --> 01:29:29,843
You'll need it for the others.

995
01:29:31,843 --> 01:29:36,010
Before I go, can I ask something?

996
01:29:36,927 --> 01:29:37,843
Yes.

997
01:29:39,510 --> 01:29:44,218
Sir, will my father be proud of me?

998
01:29:49,093 --> 01:29:53,718
Yes, Dharam Pal... the whole country
will be proud of you.

999
01:29:57,593 --> 01:29:59,843
Sir, I...

1000
01:30:02,302 --> 01:30:03,802
Lord Krishna...

1001
01:30:24,968 --> 01:30:26,843
- Nanha!
- Sir?

1002
01:30:27,468 --> 01:30:30,552
Take all the ammunition you can find.

1003
01:30:31,802 --> 01:30:34,510
- We're heading to the 8th Platoon.
- Yes, sir.

1004
01:30:34,843 --> 01:30:36,010
Hurry!

1005
01:30:43,302 --> 01:30:47,010
Three Alpha. Three Alpha. Three Alpha.
Over!

1006
01:30:51,635 --> 01:30:52,593
Keep trying.

1007
01:30:52,843 --> 01:30:54,635
Three Alpha. Three Alpha.

1008
01:30:54,927 --> 01:30:56,843
Can you hear me?

1009
01:31:02,593 --> 01:31:05,177
Three Alpha. If you can hear me,
message me.

1010
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:07,135
Three Alpha!

1011
01:31:45,635 --> 01:31:48,177
Sir, I tried hard.

1012
01:31:48,677 --> 01:31:50,010
Can't get through to Chushul.

1013
01:31:50,176 --> 01:31:52,217
But I can get through to the mortar section
and 7th platoon.

1014
01:31:53,007 --> 01:31:53,924
Keep trying.

1015
01:31:54,343 --> 01:31:54,843
Sir.

1016
01:31:55,093 --> 01:31:57,385
Sir, we're waiting for your orders.

1017
01:32:08,635 --> 01:32:10,510
8th Platoon, get ready!

1018
01:32:10,968 --> 01:32:13,677
The enemy will soon be in our sights.

1019
01:32:14,218 --> 01:32:16,010
Prime the grenades!

1020
01:32:16,343 --> 01:32:18,177
Check the fixed lines for the LMGs.

1021
01:32:18,302 --> 01:32:20,343
Make sure all the magazines are loaded.

1022
01:32:20,677 --> 01:32:23,385
Remember! Let the enemy come closer.

1023
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:25,802
One bullet, one enemy.

1024
01:32:26,177 --> 01:32:30,218
The 9th Platoon have dealt a heavy blow
to the enemy.

1025
01:32:30,510 --> 01:32:33,593
It's our turn now. Be ready!

1026
01:32:33,802 --> 01:32:35,218
Yes, sir!

1027
01:32:35,427 --> 01:32:36,343
Yes, sir!

1028
01:33:01,677 --> 01:33:03,427
Hail Goddess Kali!

1029
01:33:12,427 --> 01:33:14,843
Ram Chander! 7th Platoon.

1030
01:33:15,343 --> 01:33:16,302
7th Platoon, sir.

1031
01:33:16,843 --> 01:33:18,343
Company Commander, sir.

1032
01:33:19,343 --> 01:33:20,427
Charlie 2. Over.

1033
01:33:20,593 --> 01:33:21,718
<i>Charlie 2, OK. Over.</i>

1034
01:33:21,968 --> 01:33:25,343
The mortar section must target
the enemy's MMGs.

1035
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:27,510
<i>Destroy all their MMGs.</i>

1036
01:33:27,635 --> 01:33:30,385
As soon as that's done,
join 8th Platoon.

1037
01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:31,427
Over.

1038
01:33:36,885 --> 01:33:38,385
Charlie 2 to Charlie 5. Over!

1039
01:33:38,885 --> 01:33:40,302
<i>Charlie 5, OK. Over.</i>

1040
01:33:40,427 --> 01:33:42,385
Charlie 5. Target No.6.

1041
01:33:42,718 --> 01:33:45,010
<i>The enemy MMG position.
Rapid fire!</i>

1042
01:33:45,135 --> 01:33:47,552
Mortar section! Rapid fire!

1043
01:34:36,885 --> 01:34:38,593
Can't get through to the
mortar section.

1044
01:34:38,885 --> 01:34:41,177
Keep trying. 7th Platoon!

1045
01:34:41,552 --> 01:34:43,302
The enemy is advancing towards us.

1046
01:34:43,552 --> 01:34:45,760
Every bullet must hit a target.

1047
01:34:45,885 --> 01:34:48,343
Throw a grenade if they get any closer.

1048
01:34:49,385 --> 01:34:50,427
Cover!

1049
01:34:50,593 --> 01:34:51,843
Down! Down!

1050
01:34:59,385 --> 01:35:01,010
Drag him out.

1051
01:35:01,218 --> 01:35:02,635
Save him!

1052
01:35:08,718 --> 01:35:11,385
Drag him out, Sher Singh!

1053
01:35:13,052 --> 01:35:13,968
Jairam!

1054
01:35:14,718 --> 01:35:15,885
Jairam!

1055
01:35:16,343 --> 01:35:17,302
Jairam!

1056
01:35:55,677 --> 01:35:57,802
Victory to Mother India!

1057
01:36:27,010 --> 01:36:28,093
Bhup Singh!

1058
01:36:28,718 --> 01:36:29,968
- Baingan!
- Sir?

1059
01:36:30,093 --> 01:36:31,052
Baingan, medical!

1060
01:36:31,177 --> 01:36:33,260
Stay strong, Bhup Singh.

1061
01:36:34,968 --> 01:36:36,052
Hurry.

1062
01:36:40,218 --> 01:36:41,260
Where's Jairam?

1063
01:36:54,635 --> 01:36:56,052
Any contact with the CO?

1064
01:36:56,177 --> 01:36:57,052
No, sir.

1065
01:36:57,177 --> 01:36:58,218
Keep trying.

1066
01:36:58,343 --> 01:37:01,135
- How many rounds left?
- Only one magazine, sir.

1067
01:37:01,260 --> 01:37:03,802
- Same here.
- One magazine, sir.

1068
01:37:04,635 --> 01:37:07,052
Keep firing, then grenades.

1069
01:37:08,343 --> 01:37:10,177
- Get the grenades.
- Yes, sir.

1070
01:37:13,385 --> 01:37:15,427
Three Alpha, Three Alpha. Over.

1071
01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:19,510
Three Alpha for Two Alpha. Over!

1072
01:37:38,593 --> 01:37:41,302
Three Alpha. Any station? Over.

1073
01:38:45,343 --> 01:38:47,468
<i>We didn't have any bullets left.</i>

1074
01:38:47,802 --> 01:38:50,052
<i>The gunpowder was dust too.</i>

1075
01:38:50,885 --> 01:38:52,593
- Charlie Company!
- Sir!

1076
01:38:52,760 --> 01:38:55,302
- Fix your bayonets.
- Yes, sir!

1077
01:38:55,885 --> 01:38:58,052
<i>There were only twenty of us left.</i>

1078
01:38:59,135 --> 01:39:02,885
<i>Like a flood, the Chinese army
kept advancing.</i>

1079
01:39:03,802 --> 01:39:07,135
<i>But a flood has no chance against
a man like Shaitan.</i>

1080
01:39:07,927 --> 01:39:10,052
Your land demands blood.

1081
01:39:10,385 --> 01:39:12,468
Soak it with the blood of the enemy.

1082
01:39:12,593 --> 01:39:15,052
Wrap the enemy in flames.

1083
01:39:15,260 --> 01:39:18,302
Show them! So what if they are 1000!

1084
01:39:18,635 --> 01:39:20,177
To protect Mother India,

1085
01:39:20,302 --> 01:39:23,135
each of her sons is equal to a hundred.

1086
01:39:23,677 --> 01:39:26,093
Hail Lord Krishna!

1087
01:39:26,385 --> 01:39:29,593
Hail Lord Krishna!

1088
01:41:24,010 --> 01:41:24,843
Hari Ram!

1089
01:41:25,802 --> 01:41:26,843
Hari Ram!

1090
01:43:37,677 --> 01:43:39,635
The wind is on your side.

1091
01:44:09,460 --> 01:44:12,135
Sir, slowly.

1092
01:44:12,552 --> 01:44:13,593
- Baingan!
- Sir.

1093
01:44:13,718 --> 01:44:15,260
Bring all the ammo you have.

1094
01:44:15,593 --> 01:44:17,510
Cover the Major! Hurry!

1095
01:44:21,510 --> 01:44:23,052
Make cover for the Major!

1096
01:44:27,510 --> 01:44:28,968
- Get the LMG!
- Sir.

1097
01:44:35,052 --> 01:44:36,177
Ram Chander,

1098
01:44:37,468 --> 01:44:38,552
tie it tight.

1099
01:44:47,010 --> 01:44:47,552
Sir!

1100
01:44:48,927 --> 01:44:50,177
Load the LMG.

1101
01:44:53,010 --> 01:44:54,177
The revolver...

1102
01:44:56,218 --> 01:44:59,010
Take me near the LMG.

1103
01:45:00,552 --> 01:45:01,427
Easy, sir.

1104
01:45:26,843 --> 01:45:28,888
Sir!

1105
01:45:29,885 --> 01:45:32,177
Ram Chander, Nanha, Baingan...

1106
01:45:33,135 --> 01:45:35,177
He must not be captured.

1107
01:45:35,552 --> 01:45:36,635
Get up, sir.

1108
01:45:38,177 --> 01:45:41,885
Sir, it has been my honour
to have fought by your side.

1109
01:45:44,093 --> 01:45:44,760
Take him away.

1110
01:45:46,218 --> 01:45:48,177
- Cover!
- Covering!

1111
01:45:57,052 --> 01:45:57,843
Easy, sir.

1112
01:46:08,010 --> 01:46:09,760
I'll fight, sir!

1113
01:46:48,760 --> 01:46:51,010
Hail Lord Krishna!

1114
01:47:05,200 --> 01:47:07,200
Sir, Be careful

1115
01:47:09,093 --> 01:47:11,093
Careful, sir. Easy.

1116
01:47:11,427 --> 01:47:12,927
Stay with sir.

1117
01:47:14,135 --> 01:47:15,218
Don't move from here.

1118
01:47:15,843 --> 01:47:17,302
We'll show the rascals.

1119
01:47:17,718 --> 01:47:19,135
Baingan, let's go.

1120
01:47:20,093 --> 01:47:21,218
Hail Lord Krishna!

1121
01:47:37,343 --> 01:47:38,635
No, sir...

1122
01:47:38,968 --> 01:47:41,468
No, sir, no. It's nothing, sir.

1123
01:47:43,177 --> 01:47:44,093
Sir!

1124
01:48:37,468 --> 01:48:39,093
Baingan!

1125
01:48:55,723 --> 01:48:59,010
Yes, Nanhe.

1126
01:48:59,218 --> 01:49:01,177
You OK?

1127
01:49:08,177 --> 01:49:11,552
I miss home, my friend.

1128
01:49:21,468 --> 01:49:22,927
Letter.

1129
01:49:26,510 --> 01:49:29,552
You'll be OK.

1130
01:49:30,802 --> 01:49:33,385
Want a chocolate?

1131
01:49:38,468 --> 01:49:40,510
Here, a chocolate.

1132
01:49:42,218 --> 01:49:44,427
Baingan...

1133
01:49:47,177 --> 01:49:49,885
Baingan...

1134
01:51:21,802 --> 01:51:23,510
Major Sahib.

1135
01:51:54,135 --> 01:51:55,468
Hail Lord Krishna!

1136
01:52:23,885 --> 01:52:25,635
Sir, let's go.

1137
01:52:25,927 --> 01:52:28,302
Your aim needs improvement!

1138
01:52:29,177 --> 01:52:31,718
But you're a fabulous radio operator.

1139
01:52:31,843 --> 01:52:33,760
Sir, we must move.

1140
01:52:33,885 --> 01:52:36,552
Listen to me, Ram Chander.

1141
01:52:37,260 --> 01:52:40,885
Find a way to get to Chushul.

1142
01:52:42,218 --> 01:52:43,885
When you get there,

1143
01:52:44,510 --> 01:52:45,760
report to the Commanding Officer.

1144
01:52:47,718 --> 01:52:48,885
Tell him,

1145
01:52:50,635 --> 01:52:52,635
tell him what happened here today.

1146
01:52:53,177 --> 01:52:54,385
Sir!

1147
01:53:02,260 --> 01:53:03,843
This watch...

1148
01:53:09,927 --> 01:53:12,010
This watch and this letter...

1149
01:53:14,010 --> 01:53:15,385
Give them to him.

1150
01:53:16,302 --> 01:53:19,843
I can't do that, sir.
I won't leave you.

1151
01:53:20,427 --> 01:53:21,968
It's an order, Ram Chander.

1152
01:53:22,177 --> 01:53:25,677
I'm staying right here.
Don't send me away.

1153
01:53:25,843 --> 01:53:27,343
My last order.

1154
01:53:28,843 --> 01:53:29,468
Go!

1155
01:53:31,635 --> 01:53:32,385
Go!

1156
01:53:33,302 --> 01:53:34,302
Go on!

1157
01:53:44,593 --> 01:53:45,385
Radio man...

1158
01:53:52,885 --> 01:53:54,593
Hail Lord Krishna!

1159
01:54:07,510 --> 01:54:09,343
Hail Lord Krishna!

1160
01:54:17,093 --> 01:54:18,135
Go!

1161
01:57:17,968 --> 01:57:21,593
<i>Every step I made towards Chushul
could have been my last.</i>

1162
01:57:22,968 --> 01:57:27,010
<i>Then perhaps this story would have
stayed buried in the snow.</i>

1163
01:57:36,177 --> 01:57:39,468
<i>Over a thousand Chinese soldiers
were killed.</i>

1164
01:57:39,802 --> 01:57:43,802
<i>After hearing the news,
General Gao lost his courage.</i>

1165
01:57:44,468 --> 01:57:51,473
<i>He thought if 120 brave Indian soldiers
could destroy his battalion,</i>

1166
01:57:52,260 --> 01:57:57,843
<i>then what would the waiting Indian
army at Chushul do to them.</i>

1167
01:58:18,427 --> 01:58:21,052
<i>Who knows what effect seeing
all those corpses had on the Chinese,</i>

1168
01:58:23,510 --> 01:58:24,843
<i>but one thing was clear,</i>

1169
01:58:27,093 --> 01:58:28,760
<i>though they did invade,</i>

1170
01:58:30,052 --> 01:58:31,843
<i>they went no further.</i>

1171
01:58:41,343 --> 01:58:42,593
Tell me the truth.

1172
01:58:43,927 --> 01:58:45,218
Do you believe what he's saying?

1173
01:58:46,177 --> 01:58:48,552
Sir, when the storm subsided,

1174
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:52,468
the search party found no signs

1175
01:58:52,927 --> 01:58:55,510
to confirm a war was waged there.

1176
01:58:58,593 --> 01:59:01,427
It's also possible that the signs
of war

1177
01:59:02,468 --> 01:59:06,218
have been buried deep in the snow.
It was one hell of a storm!

1178
01:59:11,135 --> 01:59:13,427
I want this story to be true.

1179
01:59:14,885 --> 01:59:17,677
But without proof... how?

1180
01:59:19,843 --> 01:59:20,510
Call him in.

1181
01:59:21,927 --> 01:59:24,260
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav.
Come in.

1182
01:59:32,385 --> 01:59:33,468
Ram Ram, sir.

1183
01:59:34,010 --> 01:59:35,468
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav,

1184
01:59:36,302 --> 01:59:39,385
were you of sound mind when you made
your statement?

1185
01:59:39,718 --> 01:59:40,760
Yes, sir.

1186
01:59:41,302 --> 01:59:43,843
We found no evidence of war,

1187
01:59:44,343 --> 01:59:47,177
nor did we find a Charlie Company soldier
or martyr.

1188
01:59:56,218 --> 01:59:57,885
Now we know this,

1189
01:59:59,218 --> 02:00:00,927
do you wish to change your statement?

1190
02:00:07,177 --> 02:00:09,677
You will find their blood
in the soil, sir.

1191
02:00:12,552 --> 02:00:14,677
The blood from their hearts,

1192
02:00:16,510 --> 02:00:17,802
not from their backs.

1193
02:00:27,052 --> 02:00:28,427
Sepoy Ram Chander Yadav,

1194
02:00:28,968 --> 02:00:31,510
until the army investigation
is complete,

1195
02:00:32,677 --> 02:00:36,468
whatever you have told us must remain
between us.

1196
02:00:37,677 --> 02:00:38,552
Is that understood?

1197
02:00:47,177 --> 02:00:49,385
- Is that understood?
- Sir!

1198
02:01:26,677 --> 02:01:28,218
The Major asked me to give you this.

1199
02:01:40,177 --> 02:01:41,218
Sir.

1200
02:02:02,927 --> 02:02:04,843
<i>Three months passed.</i>

1201
02:02:05,802 --> 02:02:10,218
<i>There was still no proof that anyone
had been martyred in the valley.</i>

1202
02:02:11,718 --> 02:02:13,552
<i>Then the season changed,</i>

1203
02:02:14,343 --> 02:02:15,885
<i>and the snow melted.</i>

1204
02:02:35,260 --> 02:02:36,468
Father!

1205
02:02:37,468 --> 02:02:38,635
Father!

1206
02:03:04,135 --> 02:03:07,677
Being a commander made me forget

1207
02:03:09,468 --> 02:03:11,593
that I was once a soldier too.

1208
02:03:13,218 --> 02:03:16,552
These brave soldiers
not only saved Chushul,

1209
02:03:17,010 --> 02:03:21,177
but also saved Jammu-Kashmir
from falling into Chinese hands.

1210
02:03:23,593 --> 02:03:27,135
<i>This battle has been our greatest victory.</i>

1211
02:03:28,468 --> 02:03:30,718
<i>The story of their bravery</i>

1212
02:03:31,635 --> 02:03:34,718
<i>must be known by every Indian child.</i>

1213
02:03:36,218 --> 02:03:38,635
<i>The sacrifice they made
for their motherland</i>

1214
02:03:40,718 --> 02:03:44,593
<i>is the great debt that we owe them.</i>

1215
02:03:46,843 --> 02:03:49,218
<i>We will never forget it.</i>

1216
02:03:51,510 --> 02:03:52,802
<i>Never.</i>

1217
02:04:36,552 --> 02:04:40,218
Who was with him in his last moments?

1218
02:04:48,010 --> 02:04:49,760
His 120 brave soldiers.

1219
02:05:33,468 --> 02:05:34,635
<i>My dear son,</i>

1220
02:05:35,552 --> 02:05:37,427
<i>I am writing to you from the border,</i>

1221
02:05:38,593 --> 02:05:40,802
<i>knowing this is my last letter.</i>

1222
02:05:43,427 --> 02:05:46,302
<i>But there's another more
important reason.</i>

1223
02:05:48,968 --> 02:05:50,802
<i>Today the 120 soldiers,</i>

1224
02:05:51,552 --> 02:05:53,177
<i>who stand with me at the border,</i>

1225
02:05:53,677 --> 02:05:56,177
<i>know this war will take
their lives.</i>

1226
02:05:57,552 --> 02:05:58,885
<i>They had all the freedom</i>

1227
02:05:59,968 --> 02:06:01,343
<i>to leave their posts.</i>

1228
02:06:02,885 --> 02:06:04,177
<i>But they did not.</i>

1229
02:06:05,135 --> 02:06:08,593
<i>They were ready to sacrifice their present
for India's tomorrows.</i>

1230
02:06:09,760 --> 02:06:11,760
<i>Like them, I am hoping
that you too</i>

1231
02:06:12,385 --> 02:06:15,302
<i>will keep the same flame of courage
burning in your heart.</i>

1232
02:06:26,968 --> 02:06:28,927
<i>Whatever you do in life,</i>

1233
02:06:29,468 --> 02:06:32,677
<i>show courage and honesty
to your country.</i>

1234
02:06:41,760 --> 02:06:43,760
<i>Whether or not I am around tomorrow,</i>

1235
02:06:45,010 --> 02:06:47,218
<i>I will always be with you.</i>

1236
02:06:49,843 --> 02:06:52,718
"Look after your two mothers, son.

1237
