The Indian Army on Tuesday released a new video song dedicated to the army personnel who bravely fought the Chinese troops in the Galwan valley last year.
The song, released on the 1 year anniversary of the clash between the Indian Army and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) along LAC in Ladakh has been sung by legendary singer Hariharan.
The song highlights the bravery and spirit of the Indian army personnel. It praises the soldiers who rose to the occasion and protected the motherland as ‘heroes’.
“ मुझे तोड़ लेना वनमाली!
उस पथ पर देना तुम फेंक,
मातृभूमि पर शीश चढ़ाने
जिस पथ जावें वीर अनेक ”#IndianArmy#StrongAndCapable pic.twitter.com/EUvxvBNH5W— ADG PI - INDIAN ARMY (@adgpi) June 15, 2021Advertisement
The video of the song, posted by the AGDPI on its Twitter handle, features montages of Ladakh and the Galwan area. It displays the valour of the soldiers who overcome extremely hostile conditions, including heavy snow, deserted areas and life-threatening mountain ranges.
On June 15 last year, 20 Indian Army soldiers had laid down their lives during the clash between India and Chinese soldiers in order to protect the border.

Later, a memorial was built at the Post 120 eastern Ladakh for the “Gallants of Galwan”. The memorial mentioned their heroic deeds under operation 'Snow Leopard' and the way they evicted the PLA troops from the area.
In February 2021, China officially acknowledged that five Chinese military officers and soldiers were killed in the clashes after initially claiming that they had suffered no casualty.
Earlier this year, a set of military and diplomatic talks were held by envoys of India and China, following which, both the countries completed the withdrawal of troops from the Pangong Tso area. Further disengagement talks are now underway but no breakthrough has been made so far.
