Kamal Kant Batra, Mother of Captain Vikram Batra, Passes Away at 77
In a sad turn of events, Kamal Kant Batra, the mother of the revered Kargil War hero Captain Vikram Batra, and former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader, has breathed her last at the age of 77 in Himachal Pradesh. The news of her demise has left the nation in mourning.
A Remarkable Life and Legacy
Kamal Kant Batra, a woman of great strength and resilience, had contested the 2014 General Election from Himachal Pradesh’s Hamirpur as an AAP candidate. However, she later resigned from the party, expressing dissatisfaction with its functioning and organizational structure.
Her indomitable spirit and unwavering determination were evident in her son, Captain Vikram Batra, who selflessly laid down his life at the tender age of 24 during the Kargil War. His bravery and sacrifice earned him the prestigious Param Vir Chakra, the highest wartime gallantry award.
A National Hero Remembered
Captain Vikram Batra, affectionately known as the ‘Tiger of Drass’, ‘Lion of Kargil’, and ‘Kargil Hero’, continues to inspire generations even after his untimely demise. His extraordinary feats and heroic actions during the war have been immortalized in the 2021 Bollywood movie, Shershaah.
One of Captain Batra’s most challenging missions was the capture of Point 4875, where he earned the codename ‘Shershah’. Despite facing extreme temperatures and fatigue, he led his contingent to victory, eliminating at least four Pakistani soldiers. Tragically, during a daring rescue attempt of a fellow officer, Lt. Naveen Anaberu, Captain Batra exposed himself to enemy fire and made the ultimate sacrifice.
A Legacy of Bravery and Inspiration
The bravery displayed by Captain Vikram Batra has left an indelible mark on the nation’s collective consciousness. His iconic words, “Yeh Dil Mange More…!” spoken after a successful attack, continue to ignite the imagination and enthusiasm of an entire generation. Lt Gen Satish Dua, a retired Army General, fondly remembers Captain Batra’s heroism and the profound impact it had on the nation.
A Nation Mourns
The news of Kamal Kant Batra’s passing has deeply saddened the nation. Himachal Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu expressed his condolences and prayed for strength for the bereaved family to bear this immense sorrow. The loss of such an extraordinary woman, who raised a courageous son like Captain Vikram Batra, is felt by all.
As we bid farewell to Kamal Kant Batra, we remember her as a mother who instilled values of courage, patriotism, and sacrifice in her son. Her unwavering support and love for Captain Batra played a vital role in shaping him into the hero he became.
A Lasting Tribute
Kamal Kant Batra leaves behind a legacy of courage and inspiration that will continue to inspire generations to come. Her son’s heroic actions and her own strength in the face of adversity will forever be etched in the annals of Indian history.
