Kargil Vijay Diwas: ‘If I come back, we would have lots to talk about - were his last words to me’
LUCKNOW “Do remain in touch, it gives a lot of moral support. If I come back, we would have lots to talk about..” wrote Param Vir Chakra Captain Manoj Kumar Pandey in his last letter to his school friend Pawan Mishra while fighting the Pakistani Army in unfavourable circumstances, unsparing climate, and arduous terrain.
The letter, written from the forward posts during the Kargil War, has been read by Mishra at least 50,000 times. It reminds him of their friendship and what they meant to each other. Even after two and half decades of his friend’s death, Mishra remembers his time with Manoj Pandey at U.P. Sainik School like yesterday.
Remembering his good old friend and one of India’s most celebrated war heroes, Mishra said, “He (Manoj) thought of me even in the face of death. It just goes on to show the kind of man and the friend he was. We all know how he showed exemplary bravery and eliminated four enemies before giving the highest sacrifice for our country on July 3, 1999. His exceptional courage helped us achieve dominating heights and ultimately, win the war. However, not many people know that not just his death, even his entire life was extraordinary.”
