Essay on Gallantry Award Winner
I will honour my role model (Gallantry Award winner) _________ by taking a pledge to _______
Introduction:
Gallantry award is given to
Indian armed forces, officers, and civilians to honour them for their constant
bravery and sacrifice. The armed forces' civilians work selflessly for our
country's sake 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 Shauray chakra were later
added to the list of gallantry awards. All these gallantry awards honour the
soldiers who laid down their lives to protect our country from the enemies. In
this essay, I will depict how the bravery and sacrifice of soldiers have
inspired me immensely.
Every year the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the sake of
our country get honour through gallantry awards on republic day and
Independence Day. Whenever we talk about the brave hearts of soldiers who won
Paramvir chakra the name of Captain Vikram Batra comes first in my mind. He
lost his life while he was fighting fearlessly in the Kargil war for protecting
the nation. He brought victory in the Kargil war by fighting with 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 in 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 of life and
calmness has made me understand the need of being focused in tough times. He
has shown us valid and powerful reasons for leading an honourable life as a
soldier in the 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 Vikram Batra I aspire 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 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-organized
lifestyle of soldiers has inspired me so much that I have adopted it into 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 on my duty under any
circumstances. As a soldier, I need to be concerned about everything around me
always which is a sign of a wise personality. Captain Vikram Batra had always
lived a life with complete dignity in all situations which is another reason
for my inspiration. At all times, he acted the role of a great friend and
leader besides fulfilling all the responsibilities of a soldier. He had never
thought for a second time when it came to fighting for his nation. So, overall,
his courageous nature, positive attitude, and sacrifice have inspired me a lot
to choose the career of a soldier by keeping all other options behind. I would
like to say that I have always had immense honour for all army soldiers in my mind
who have chosen the life of soldiers to protect the nation and fight 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 for a life of
dignity, and honour, full of sacrifices and unavoidable duty. These 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 responsibility to protect my country and
reach the supreme power where no enemy can think about disturbing us. I will
follow the philosophy of captain Vikram Batra for becoming a great soldier and
fighting for my country in all situations. At any cost, I want to see my
motherland safe, and free from the attack of enemies. So, I want to join the Indian
armed forces in the future to dedicate my life to the nation and work
selflessly for its people of it.
