Facing real life dangers, fighting back like a lion when injured, now that's a story worth telling.
At tedxBITSHyderabad, yogendra Singh yadav told the tale of his glory and sacrifice for this country. A story definitely worth hearing. Subedar Yogendra Singh Yadav is the Braveheart we all hear about in tales. He was from an army background and followed his father’s footsteps at the young age of 16 and joined the Indian army.
In 1999, during the Kargil war, he volunteered to lead a team to capture Tiger Hill at the elevation of 16,500 feet
He is one of the only 3 active members of the Indian Army who have received the highest Military decoration award, Param Vir Chakra which has only been awarded to 21 army men in the history of Independent India. His citation read, "Unmindful of his injuries and in the hail of enemy bullets, Grenadier Yogender Singh Yadav continued climbing towards the enemy positions, lobbed grenades, continued firing from his weapons and killed four enemy soldiers in close combat and silenced the automatic fire. Despite multiple bullet injuries, he refused to be evacuated and continued the charge. Inspired by his gallant act, the platoon charged on the other positions and captured Tiger Hill Top. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
