Why is fighter pilot Raghu Nambiar handpicked for the bombing of Tiger Hill? Why does Manoj Pandey always carry a twenty-one-year-old Rs 2 wooden flute in his black fauji trunk? 'Congratulations Mrs Batra. We are now man and wife.' When does Vikram Batra say this to Dimple? Why do a group of stranded paratroopers call for Bofors' fire upon their own position? Why is an old man in Palampur fighting for justice for his dead soldier son? Interviewing war survivors and martyrs' families, Rachna Bisht Rawat tells stories of extraordinary human courage, of not just men in uniform but also those who loved them the most. Kargil is a tribute to the 527 young braves who gave up their lives for us and many others who were ready to do it too.
