Soldier  

Over a thousand soldiers martyred, another 3000 injured. The first India-Pakistan war has left a lasting imprint on the nation's mind. Barely two months after independence, on October 22, 1947, Pakistan's proxy raiders backed by its army invaded Jammu and Kashmir to capture it. The raiders plundered and killed hundreds of innocent people before being ruthlessly defeated by the Indian armed forces.  

This year, India is observing a black day on October 22 to mark the brutal onslaught that Pakistan unleashed on Kashmir in 1947. 
 
Let's take a look at some of the innumerable stories of sacrifice and bravery that every Indian should be proud of today
