A deeply personal conversation on the life, legacy and enduring spirit of Captain Vikram Batra, PVC, one of India's most celebrated war heroes.
On this special episode of Ctrl Alt Defence, Vishnu Som speaks with Vishal Batra, Captain Vikram Batra's identical twin brother, about the man behind the legend-from their childhood and shared dream of serving the nation to the defining moments of the Kargil War that made "Yeh Dil Maange More" a battle cry etched into India's military history.
The discussion explores Vishal Batra's new book, Yeh Dil Maange More, which draws on Captain Vikram Batra's personal letters, family memories and untold stories to paint an intimate portrait of the Param Vir Chakra awardee beyond the battlefield. The book traces his journey from a young boy inspired by the Army to the officer who led from the front at Point 5140 and Point 4875 during the Kargil War.
