i celebrated my independence with my real hero of India ( Indian Army) .

This is Round memorial dedicated to those soldiers who sacrifices their life’s for protecting India integrity and Border .This was built in 2000 in memory of kargil war soldiers who fight and protect my motherland India .

In local story and kargil book refer that these solder fought like a lion is fighting in forest with wolf and smashing like tomato . Their stories of bravery and love for country is not comparable .They sacrifice their life but not allow enemy to inter inside our country .

Their contribution towards India is remarkable .Indian people and Indian history will always write their name with golden letter .

Thank you so much for protecting my motherland India

You will always in our memories and heart

Jai hind jai Bharat
