The government of Pakistan awarded Captain Karnal Sher Khan with Nishan-e-Haider, the country's highest gallantry award. Captain Karnal Sher Khan was posthumously awarded Pakistan's highest gallantry award, the Nishan-e-Haider, for his actions during the Kargil Conflict with India in 1999, on the recommendation of the Indian Army
Source,source, source, that's all you guys say but then you throw your stories out without one. I think we can ALL agree (hopefully) that there are brave men in ALL armies, I asked the original question, if your minds can go that far back, just to find out about ONE brave INDIAN soldier, and now look at it some Pakistani members have started bringing their war heros into the thread, Indian members are getting all worked up. There is no need we have solved the mystery Of Bhana Singh, a great man. End of story.
And I'm sorry but I would have let this go but since you've emboldened it to make it stand out (
) surely this just shows the integrity and honour of the Indian army as opposed to:on the recommendation of the Indian Army
Kargil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaAftermath
[edit] India
Indian PM A.B.Vajpayee flashes the V sign after the Parliamentary elections in which his coalition emerged the victors. His handling of the Kargil crisis is believed to have played a big part in garnering the votes.
From the end of the war until February 2000, the Indian stock market rose by over 30%. The next Indian national budget included major increases in military spending.
There was a surge in patriotism, with many celebrities expressing their support for the Kargil cause.[86] Indians were angered by media reports of the death of pilot Ajay Ahuja, especially after Indian authorities reported that Ahuja had been murdered and his body mutilated by Pakistani troops. The war had produced higher than expected fatalities for the Indian military, with a sizeable percentage of them including newly commissioned officers. One month after conclusion of the Kargil war, the Atlantique Incident - where a Pakistan Navy plane was shot down by India - briefly reignited fears of a conflict between the two countries.
Now I don't want this to be offensive, I'm sure that this was only a small number of soldiers and an isolated incident, but since you highlighted that I thought I would highlight something else for you.
Oh and another thing this award was it before or after the Pakistani side refused to accept the bodies of its fallen men?
