While researching wars, I stumbled upon the movie Kargil.
Better still, I watched the musical Ek Saathi Aur Bhi Tha, picturised on soldiers at the close of battle--and I was blown away.
But it is uplifting, like a phoenix rising out of its ashes.
I hope it affects you the way it did me, so I reproduce the words here.
(Do not worry about what it means, though I will reproduce that too, it just will affect you)
खामोश है जो यह वो सदा है
वो जो नहीं है वो कह रहा है
साथीयों तुमको मिले जीत ही जीत सदा
बस इतना याद रहे एक साथी और भी था
जाओ जो लौट्कर तुम घर हो खुशी से भरा
here is it below in english
This is the call that is silent;
the one who is no more is saying
my companions, may you meet with victory upon victory.
Just remember this: you had another companion as well.
If you do return, may your home be filled with joy...
कल पर्वतों पर कहीं
बर्सी थी जब गोलियां
हम लोग थे साथ में
और हस्ले थे जवान
अब तक चट्टानों पर हैं
अपने लहू के निशान
साथी मुबारक तुम्हें
यह जशन हो जीत का
Yesterday, somewhere in the mountains, when the bullets showered down,
we were all together, and our courage was fresh.
Traces of our blood still remain in the crags.
My companions, congratulations to you on the celebration of your triumph.
