Details: The only person to be decorated with the Kirti Chakra and the Shaurya Chakra in the same investiture ceremony, Col. RK Sharma’s army career is what legends are made of.
Serving in the Kargil War, where he won back Point 5465 for his battalion and for the country; the volatile North East, where his tenure was marked by extraordinary successes in counter-insurgency operations as well as in redefining the relationship of Assam Rifles with the local people; and in the Congo as a peacekeeper under the UN flag, Raj's career stands out for his humility, his daredevil attitude, and raising the prestige of the army wherever he served.
But it was not all so easy.
Going beyond stereotypical narratives about soldiers fighting their way through everything, Shoorveer is the story of a man who embraced the challenges life threw at him and overcame them with sheer determination and grit. This is a story of valour on the battlefield and courage in everything else life has to offer. An intimate look at what it means to serve as a soldier and lead as an officer, this is the story of every army personnel out there.
