After the Indo-China War, India Failed Him | The Untold Truth Behind Farhan Akhtar's 120 Bahadur

Описание: We celebrate our war heroes on screen.

But what happens to them after the applause ends?

In this episode of Claim Your Mind, I reflect on the life and sacrifice of Major Shaitan Singh Bhati, Param Vir Chakra, hero of the Battle of Rezang La (1962) — recently brought back into public conversation through the film 120 Bahadur, starring Farhan Akhtar.

I first heard the name Major Shaitan Singh in 1987 in Jodhpur, during my NDA training with 4 Mechanized Infantry, long before the internet, when places like Shaitan Singh Nagar carried stories instead of search results.

The film 120 Bahadur, led by Farhan Akhtar, powerfully depicts battlefield courage and valour.

What it does not show is the bureaucratic spiral that followed his supreme sacrific; delayed pensions, recovered gratuity, and a legal case that has remained pending for decades.

This podcast is not a movie review.
It is not an attack on the Army or the nation.

It is a moral audit of how we treat our real-life heroes after the war is over.

🎖️ Courage deserves more than ceremonies.
⚖️ Sacrifice deserves justice, not silence.

Watch till the end — because the real battlefield today is not at Rezang La.
It is in our conscience.
