List of heroes of Kargil war:

Captain Vikram Batra of the 13 Jammu and Kashmir Rifle immortalized himself by turning a soft-drink ad's tagline "Yeh Dil mange more" (My heart asks for more) into an iconic war cry while showcasing on national television the enemy's machine guns he had captured in his first gallant exploits in the Kargil war.

Lt Balwan Singh, now a Colonel, was the Tiger of Tiger Hill -- the decisive battle of the Kargil wara. Singh was tasked with the recapture of Tiger Hill.

At 25, he led soldiers of the Ghatak platoon through a steep, treacherous path on a 12-hour journey to reach the hilltop. The assault took the enemy by surprise as India was not expected to take such a difficult route.

On May 14, 1999, Major Rajesh Adhikari was leading the central arm of three 10-man teams trying to capture a bunker at 16,000 ft at the Tololing feature.
