Lieutenant Colonel Ardeshir Burzorji Tarapore, Param Vir Chakra (19 August 1923 – 16 September 1965)
My Dear Indians,
On successful completion of Operation Polo , the princely state of Hyderabad became a part of The Union of India.
The Nizam of Hyderabad had his own army- Hyderabad State Forces or Hyderabad Army.
Now that Hyderabad was a part of India, soldiers of Hyderabad State Forces were offered the opportunity to join The Indian Army.
One such officer of The Hyderabad State Forces who joined the Indian Army was Ardeshir Burzorji Tarapore
Ardeshir Burzorji Tarapore joined the Poona Horse Regiment of The Indian Army.
This is a Armoured Regiment (a Regiment with Battle Tanks).
In 1965 when India went to war against Pakistan, Lt Col. Ardeshir Burzorji Tarapore made the supreme sacrifice defending India.
He was posthumously honoured with the Param Vir Chakra.
Today- 16 September 2021- is the 57th Martyrdom Day of Lt. Col. Ardeshir Burzorji Tarapore, Param Vir Chakra
Jai Hind !
