Gallantry award is given to Indian armed forces, officers and civilians to honour

them for their constant bravery and sacrifice. The civilians of armed forces work
selflessly for the sake of our country till their last breath. The highest
gallantry award Paramvir chakra and Mahavir chakra were introduced by the
government of India after independence. Vir chakra, ashoka chakra, kirti chakra and
shaurya chakrawere added to the list of gallantry awards later on. The soldiers who
laid down their lives to protect our country from the enemies are honoured by all
these gallantry wards. In this essay I will depict how the bravery and sacrifice of
soldiers have inspired me immensely.

Gallantry award winner captain Vikram Batra as my role model:

Every year the brave soldiers who sacrificed their life for the sake of our country
get honour through gallantry awards on the republic day and Independence Day.
Whenever we talk about the brave hearts of soldiers who won ParamVir chakra the
name of Captain VikramBatra come first in my mind. He lost his life while he was
fighting fearlessly in the Kargil war for protecting then nation. He brought
victory in the Kargil war by fighting with his courage and leadership skills. He is
the Paramvir chakra awardee of the year 1999 celebrated on 15th august, India’s
52nd Independence Day. His indomitable spirit, fearlessness, dignity and sacrifice
have inspired me a lot which has changed my view towards life. He was always ready
to serve the nation at any situation and condition which shows his true responsible
nature as an ideal soldier. His helpful nature to support others in difficult times
has taught me to be kind. His positive view to life and calmness has made me
understand the need of being focused in tough times. He has showed us the valid and
powerful reasons of leading an honourable life as a soldier in Indian armed forces.

We all have some aim in life which we want to achieve one day with hard work and
dedication. After following the life journey and positive attitude of my role model
VikramBatra my aspiration is to become a great soldier and serve our nation. As I
always want to do something for my motherland and people, it will be a great role
to protect my nation from the enemies. It will fulfil my mind when I will be able
to do something for my country and give a fruitful future to its people. I have
clearly understood that I will be responsible to stand like a protective wall near
the borders of my country. The disciplined and well organised lifestyle of soldiers
have inspired me so much that I have adopted in my daily routine. All soldiers are
trained through such hardships and difficulties that they become completely
responsible to do their duty ideally. I have understood that as a soldier I need to
be focused in my duty at any circumstances. As a soldier I need to be concerned
about everything around me always which is a sign of wise personality. Captain
VikramBatra had always lived a life with complete dignity at all situations which
is another reason for my inspiration. At all times, he acted the role of great
friend and leader besides fulfilling all the responsibilities of a soldier. He had
never thought for second times when it came to fight for his nation. So, in the
overall his courageous nature, positive attitude and sacrifice have inspired me a
lot to choose the career of soldier by keeping all other options behind. I would
like to say that I have always immense honour for all army soldiers in my mind who
have chosen the life of soldiers with the aim of protecting the nation and fighting
for it. All these reasons are enough to make me feel proud for choosing the armed
forces as a great career option.

Conclusion:
The persons who choose the life of soldiers are well-known to the life of dignity,
honour, full of sacrifices and unavoidable duty. This reasons should always be in
mind while moving ahead to be an ideal soldier of the country. So, as a soldier it
is also my responsible to protect my country and reach to the supreme power where
no enemy can think about disturbing us. I will follow the philosophy of captain
VikramBatra for becoming a great soldier and fight for my country at all
situations. At any cost I want to see my motherland safe, free from the attack of
enemies. So, I want to join Indian armed forces in future to dedicate my life for
the nation and work selflessly for the people of it.
