We are in the process of gathering additional information about this fallen soldier and are putting painstaking efforts in scouring the data available in public domain, towards that end. You may appreciate that it is a humongous task to curate the information about all the martyrs since 1947 and the endeavor demands huge amount of time and resources. Thus, we need the support of the martyr’s family members, former Unit or Formation colleagues, other comrades and friends in this regard. Please share any information about this soldier, if you have, by virtue of your association with him to make his profile comprehensive and inspirational. The information may be in the form of text, photographs or video clips and may be sent as and when available, since the information is dynamically updated.
We would immensely appreciate your valuable assistance in sharing your knowledge about the inspirational journey of this spirited soldier. We look forward to your help in our mission of spreading awareness about the sacrifices of the fallen heroes of our Armed Forces, who gave it all for our brighter tomorrow.

2021at10:02 amNb Sub Joginder was our Drill Instructor at NDA in 1993.Only the best of the soldiers get selected to NDA.Among the upright,smartly turned out instructors with high standards of drill,he stood out further with his “no compromise in the drill square but very humane approach to the cadet trying to be an Officer”.His martyrdom act of falling upon a grenade and thus saving the lives of over a dozen in Jammu in 1997,truly speaks volumes about his character and should be publicized well of the ultimate model of “service before self”.Salute to you,Joginder saab.
