The tip of the Khukri should be pointing upwards, as that represents the willingness of the soldier to defend the honour of India.The badge can be displayed on the notice board or on any item as long as it is worn with honour. Remember what the badge stands for an wear is accordingly.

Experience of Kumar Sparsh - April 10, 2007

 

Respected Sir,

I have worn the badge for more than three years and wear it proudly. People do come up to me and ask about it and I tell the story of Lt Kapadia, what he did, his background and how he died for his country. I am attaching a picture of mine which was taken during a shoot that I did on the IAF. I was interviewing Marshall of the Air force Arjan Singh. On seeing this badge he asked me about it and I explained. I am writing to you because recently I lost the badge I guess the pin broke and when I realized it was gone.i looked everywhere but couldn't find it. Sir if possible please send me two more of these badges.

thanking you

Kumar Sparsh

Experience of Nitin Warier - January 7, 2007

 

Hello,

It is with great honor and happiness, that I write to you. As mentioned earlier, I received the Badges sent by you. My father-in-law and I had decided to wear the badge at a family gathering. My father-in-law happened to meet an old friend of his, who's a Brigadier with the Gorkha Rifles, and the latter was overjoyed to know the details of the badge.

 

We spoke proudly of the badge, and explained its significance to anyone who was keen to know what it was. I have attached a photo of my father-in-law, Col. P.V. Ravindran (100 Field Regiment) & me. The badges are displayed as suggested.

 

I take this opportunity to thank you for sending me the Badge of Honor. Its with utmost pride that the badge was displayed. I am really glad I was able to have the badge in possession during my stay in India.

 

 Thank you so much for everything. May God bless Nawang's family, and bring the same glory to every soldier of the Indian Armed Forces.

 

 Warm Regards

 

Nitin Warier
