👕 Remembering the Brave - Commemorative T-Shirt To Mark 24 Years Since The Battle Of Tiger Hill
On this day (July 8) in 1999, soldiers of the Indian Army achieved a remarkable victory by recapturing the majestic Tiger Hills from the Pakistani Army, a strategic point overlooking key army installations and facilities.
At an altitude of 16,608 ft, Tiger Hill demanded every ounce of endurance and gallantry from Indian troops. It took many days of fighting in terribly cold weather for the troops of 8 Sikh, 18 Grenadiers and 2 Naga to recapture the important hill top.
The battle led to 18 Grenadiers being decorated with one Param Vir Chakra, two Maha Vir Chakras and six Vir Chakras. The unit also got the Chief of Army Staff Citation and Theatre Honour.
As a token of remembrance and celebration, we've brought out the Tiger HIll 1999 T-Shirt featuring the iconic photo of our troops on the hill top.
Click here to order your t-shirt now—to wear a token of remembrance and to join us in celebrating a great battle.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
