"The Param Vir Chakra is awarded for the highest degree of valour in the presence of the enemy — most of its recipients earned it posthumously."
The Param Vir Chakra Theme File honours 21 recipients — including Manoj Kumar Pandey, awarded for gallantry during the 1999 Kargil War, and Bana Singh, who led the 1987 recapture of the Siachen post that now bears his name.
49 notes trace dates of birth, death, and — where recorded — the date of the action itself.
"21 recipients. India's highest and rarest wartime honour."
