The 1999 Kargil War brought out the best in Indian soldiers. Amongst them were four heroes whose actions helped to turn the tide in India's favour. These four were awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest gallantry award in the face of the enemy. They were Captain Vikram Batra, Lieutenant Manoj Kumar Pandey, Rifleman Sanjay Kumar and Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav.
