Captain (Hony) Yogendra Singh YadavThe Hero Of Tiger Hill: Autobiography of a Param Vir | The true story of how the Indian Army won Tiger Hill in Kargil

About the book: This autobiography tells a story of the youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee in India, who selflessly fought for his country during the Kargil war in the D sector. The book covers everything that is from his childhood, adolescence, village life, and his fulfillment of long cherished dream, marriage and the Kargil war where Indian soldiers were fighting at 16,500 feet. The book has numerous tales from his upbringing which influenced his mindset and the way he led his life.My opinion: The book has very detailed information about everything related to the author, making it quite transparent. How his cultural life and childhood lessons molded him holds more space in the book. I felt proud reading this as we share the same background and reading terms like Uttar Pradesh, Bulandshahar, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Faridabad felt like reading about someone belonging to my own house. Finally, my search for a personality who shares the same birthday came to an end. I always dreamt of having someone who made history on 10th May and I found the one. This book isn’t only a number of pages rather a bag of emotions expressed by the author. I would strongly suggest this book to every reader and non-reader to know that warriors walk among us. Reading about a living hero is truly an honor itself and I’m delighted to read this piece written with such candor. It made me think about how mentally tough not only our warriors, but their families, must be. How they cope up with the loss. How do people keep finding their meaning in life in the midst of such chaos, where they are suddenly informed of the death of dear ones? How people go about their days in the hope of seeing their loved ones during their next visit. It all made me think where on the one end we feel proud to get the hold of a geographical location, on the other end their supreme sacrifices made me think about the loss. We are able to feel proud but at a heavy cost. It’s a small tribute we all can give to our Indian Army soldiers who laid their life in the line of duty for their Nation, is to educate ourselves on their acts of bravery. Jai Hind.

It's a very nice book. Still I am reading.Captain Yogendra sir has written this book in very simple language that any one can read and Understand what author wants to say. I am sure you love this book.

Great naration but paper quality is not upto the mark.

To the author, Sir, I salute your bravery and also the bravery of our Indian Army! So lucidly written. The stories of sacrifices of our brave soldiers are always poignant even though as patriotic Bharathiya we feel proud of our soldiers for the countless sacrifices they made for our country. As citizens, we should always thank our soldiers every day who protect us round the clock braving harsh weather and inhospitable cold environments sacrificing all their comforts just for one reason - to protect the motherland at any cost! We should have such stories even for school children right from young age so that they develop the love and patriotism for Bharat just as our soldiers.

It's a description of hair-raising experience!!!! It's in fact difficult to even imagine the situation in which our brave soldiers protect our Bharat. Tons of salutes to these HEROS 🙏🙏 Really proud of them 👌👌

The media could not be loaded. I started reading this book written by Yogendra Singh Yadav expecting it a war thriller because I wanted to know more about Indian wars after reading the battle of rezang la by Kulpreet Yadav, but then it turned out to be the story of a soldier in particular and not a war book.Then I drove myself deep down into this novel and it became interesting to learn about a man who faced such scenario in the war and fought bravely. At the end of each chapter the author has provided us with quotes which is a life lesson inspired by his life.The author made me so proud of our army and the families of our soliders.On behalf of every Indian I would like to thank you and all our soldiers to take care of our country in the border. We will always be grateful to you and our Indian Army.

Must read book. Sacrifice made by unknown soldiers is brilliantly narrated.

Expected some more pages on the epic battle.
