The Param Vir Chakra is India's highest military decoration for acts of conspicuous gallantry in the presence of the enemy.
We welcome additional materials about Lieutenant Colonel Dhan Singh Thapa - pre-Army, in-Army, post-Army - from relatives, friends, colleagues and other people who have relevant materials.
In the 1980s, Doordarshan commissioned Chetan Anand, a well-known film director, to produce TV episodes (in Hindi) on Param Vir Chakra awardees. The episode on Lieutenant Colonel Dhan Singh Thapa is avaiable at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei75FShf1CI
We also welcome similar materials - for separate stories - about other heroes and martyrs of the Indian Armed Forces, provided the time of the event was at least 30 years ago. Our contact is indiaofthepast@gmail.com
