Lieutenant Yuvraj HC's!

Here are some HC's of Yuvraj, following up with his story of what motivated him to join the army! Hope you like it! ♡

Yuvraj "Yuvi" Chaudhary was born in a family whose generation belonged to an army background. The descendents, along with his great-grandfather and grandfather were a part of the Rajputana Rifles.

The area he lived in was just closer to an army cantomnent area, where Yuvi would often see the soldiers passing by to the camp, which he found really amusing.

When Yuvraj was a child, he used to listen to stories about his great-grandfather, who proudly served the nation in his glory days. As it piqued the young boy's interest to know more about their past, he asked if his father too was in the army as well. But, he realised that due to some reasons, his father couldn't allot himself in the field of defence.

Feeling maybe he wasn't fit for this role, his father used to work in his own flour mill, and required Yuvraj's presence to handle his business as well.

Yuvraj felt that discontinuing the legacy of what his ancestors worked on for so hard, would have become an entire waste of their efforts as well, and it didn't suit the young boy at all. So, it made him grow an urge to join the army as well, but what heavily conflicted him is that he cannot stop working at the flour mill with his father, and he also wanted to pursue his education in the field of defense.

His plan was to join the Rajputana Rifles like his great-grandfather, but one day during a busy day with his father at the flour mill, he saw a few sena jawans (soldiers) making their way to the cantonment. In curiosity, he first made sure his father wasn't looking at him around, so he could approach with them.

Yuvraj met the soldiers, and they greeted him with love and care. He asked if he was capable of joining the army, and one of the soldiers chuckled saying "Anyone can join the army, son. You just need three things before you join the army; bravery, pride and patriotism." Those words did move Yuvraj, but wondered where he should go in the army, and one gave him a suggestion. "I feel you can join the Para Special Forces. Your wits clearly describe that you can go in it."

Yuvraj heard that name for the first time, but it did make him excited and determined enough to work hard for that particular regiment. "I'll go with that!"

"But be careful.. it's a very tricky process."

"As long as I keep these three words at heart, sir, not even my failures can push me down!" Yuvraj said in determination, that surprised the soldiers that he was even ready to take the risk. But, without knowing, Yuvraj's father was seeing them all along, and it worried Yuvi that he might scold him for disturbing the soldiers like that..

When they got back home, Yuvraj's father didn't say anything much, but Yuvi was ready to get scolded even if he didn't disturb the soldiers. He knew his father thought the best of him and the boy wouldn't break his feelings by disagreeing with him, but.. it was way different.

Yuvraj's father looked at him for a couple of seconds, and walks closer, hugging his son. Yuvi was surprised by that sudden action from his father, but the words he heard were going to be a huge turning point in his life..

"Go, my son. Make us proud." Yuvraj's father said with tears in his eyes. "Maybe, your great-grandfather knew that you were going to make our family shine bright with pride." Those words moved Yuvraj so much, as he felt so happy that his father agreed with his decision to join the army. The way Yuvraj thanked God and his father so much for letting him have this opportunity, and this.. is where it all changed for the boy.

Growing up, Yuvraj was able to complete his education and finally graduated from the IMA to become a Lieutenant. His parents saw him in that uniform, making them shudder and tear out in happiness. Yuvraj, who had grown a moustache, twisted the corner of it and smirked, chuckling heartily as he achieved something so precious. After that, he shared a hug with his mother and father, saying — "Told you.. I'll make you all proud."

Jawan Review

November 17, 2023

by Inakshi Chandra-Mohanty

In the 1970s, Amitabh Bachchan’s entry into Hindi cinema gave birth to the “Angry Young Man.” He was a hero, who fought against the system, who fought against injustice, and became a voice for the subdued people in society. It was one man against the world. Through the 80s, this phenomena continued, but as the new century neared, the romantic hero emerged and the action hero became an afterthought. People either no longer wished to change the system, or they no longer trusted a lone hero to do it. With the birth of a new generation, softer male leads became the norm with Shah Rukh Khan at the height of romantic stardom.

Though Hindi films let go of this concept, South Indian Cinema, continues to celebrate its heroes through films on injustice with a male lead as savior. So it is only natural that Atlee, a South Indian filmmaker, brings back to Hindi cinema the heroic mass entertainer, ironically starring the very actor who had originally taken away the limelight from the “angry young man” of the 70s and 80s. Jawan follows a man who strives for justice, who wishes to correct a system which favors those who are guilty over the many innocents, and for that, he resorts to vigilantism putting him in the crossfire of both the police and an evil arms dealer.

I did not have great expectations from Atlee. Though his films are entertaining, they have never risen to greatness, barring Raja Rani, which is the best of his work. However, he has great mass appeal and Jawan promises the same.The plot is intricately woven with an amalgamation of elements that tackle many relevant issues in society today. From farmer suicides to hospital inadequacies, by blending real stories into a fictional universe, writer-director Atlee appeals to the struggles of the common man and attempts to raise awareness regarding the flaws in the system that governs Indian society. Alongside important themes, the film’s strength lies in its strongly choreographed action sequences with women at the forefront. Shah Rukh Khan as the man of many names is the hero, but he is surrounded by powerful women fighting for themselves and for others. It is exciting, entertaining, and visually captivating with a thoroughly ‘massy’ feel.

However, my biggest issue with Jawan is the same problem I’ve had with Atlee films in the past, particularly Mersal and Bigil. They’re all over the place. The shift between present and past, the placement of flashbacks, too many characters, too many plot points, everything is a disjointed mess. There isn’t a singular arc keeping the story moving. In an attempt to create suspense, using non-linear storytelling, the makers sacrifice emotions. We begin to connect with a character, or get interested in a certain plot point, but a sudden shift in the story, leaves us hanging. By the time it returns, our emotions no longer remain the same.

Nevertheless, it is entertaining and much credit for that goes to the performances. Every single actor in the cast does a tremendous job: the army of six girls (Lehar Khan, Sanjeeta Bhattarchaya, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Girja Oak, Aaliyah Qureishi), Deepika Padukone in a cameo appearance, Seeza Saroj Mehta as the little girl Suji, Sunil Grover, Ridhi Dogra, Eijaz Khan, and even all those in small bit roles. As for the central trio, anything I say in their praise would be less. Nayanthara is enigmatic and powerful as the law-abiding officer in search of who she believes to be a problematic vigilante. I am glad her stardom is finally extending beyond the borders of the south. Though Vijay Sethupathi has already made his mark on the Hindi audience through Farzi, it is through Jawan his versatility comes forth. I have seen so many actors struggle outside their comfort language, but he doesn’t let his difficulty with Hindi get in the way of his menacing performance. And last but not the least, is the star of the show, Shah Rukh Khan. Comedy, romance, drama, action, there is no genre in which he lacks and Jawan touches upon it all. Such a strong, versatile range of emotions is displayed through one character. This film is a reminder that Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom and aura are unmatched.

Jawan is not perfect, it is not without its flaws. But its entertaining nature, the larger-than-life characters, and Shah Rukh Khan’s explosive comeback make it a worthwhile watch.

Jeelakarra Bellam

Continuing my bodyguard!Charak saga. This goes to the point where our two first meet.

Read on AO3 here.

Read the previous work here.

If you want to be on a taglist for this series, just let me know!

---------------------------------------

“How about this one?” His assistant Raju slides another profile at him across the teak coffee table. “Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao. 32 years old and Ex-Indian Army. Actually won the Vishisht Seva Medal before his release from the army five years ago. He was working with Pranav’s security detail previously, so great references too.” Raju continued. 

Charan picked it up, scanning the document. Two years older than him, yet such a different life. 

“Do you want to try him out for a while?” Raju persisted. “I asked around, he doesn’t have a creepy vibe. We could always go back to the agency after a month if you guys aren’t gelling well.” 

Sudhakar, Charan’s last bodyguard had been organised, quick and fun to hang out with and Charan would have been happy to hold on to him forever until he caught the man groping one of the young volunteers assigned to their entourage at a music release function. The sight of the girl’s tearful expression had prompted an instant dismissal from Charan, along with a change of their usual security agency. After their lacklustre reaction to his reason for breaking Sudhakar’s contract, Charan was sure of one thing at least - he did not want to hire any more of their people. 

“Why is the emergency contact section blank?” Charan asked him. 

Raju grimaced. “Yeah that threw me off too, and I called them up to ask if they’d just forgotten to put the information in. But no, turns out his father was absent. He was raised by his mother and she died five years ago. No siblings. I guess he’s a bit of a lone wolf, but the agency did make extensive enquiries. He showed incredible bravery saving civilians and fellow Jawans in a terrorist attack in Kashmir, hence the award. I interviewed him too and he was perfectly candid about things, just said he had a difficult couple of years and was still adjusting to life after. ”

“I guess it’s not a crime to have no close connections… but still, to not even list an old colleague or a neighbour?” Charan wondered, looking down at the page again, wondering what it was like to be this man. To be alone, day after day, month after month. What did he do after work? What did his phone look like? He looked at the picture, at the unsmiling face of a young man with short clipped hair and precise moustache. The eyes were blank, telling him nothing. 

“Let’s try him out,” he said finally. “But at the first sign of anything strange, he goes.”    

“Absolutely.” 

*****

A sharp knock sounded at his office door the next Monday morning and Charan looked up from the script with a start. 

“Come in,” he called out, and the door swung open.

“Hi there, I’m Tarak.” 

Charan gaped. The man who entered was only about as tall as Charan, but he walked with an energy and force that naturally drew the eye to him. He was simply dressed in a grey shirt and jeans, with plain sneakers on his feet. His hair was much longer than Charan anticipated, a mess of wild curls that stood around his head like a halo. His beard looked just as unruly as his hair. His shoulders were very broad, and he had thick muscly arms that were barely concealed by his shirt. The hand he extended out to Charan was large as well, a simple bracelet made with wooden beads adorning his wrist.  

“Hello?” prompted Tarak. “I was told you were expecting me.”

Charan continued to gape, registering with a shiver Tarak’s low, deep voice. His eyes were large and intensely dark, and Charan found it hard to look away from their hypnotising depths. “You don’t look anything like your picture.” He blurted out at last, mentally kicking himself a moment later because that was definitely not what he wanted to say. 

“Does your contract involve me being clean shaven, cutting my hair and keeping it regulation length?” Tarak asked him, withdrawing his hand. His voice was bland, but his eyes were not amused. 

Charan flushed. “Sorry I just - I don’t need anything like that - you don’t need to look a certain way - I mean unless you want to. It’s up to you.” he mumbled, looking down at his desk and quickly holding out his own hand. He felt the other man take it in a firm grip, shaking it quickly before letting go. There was a long, awkward pause as Charan studied the wavy lines of the wood in his desk. 

“May I sit down while we go over your schedule and general expectations or do you want me to come back later?” Tarak asked him finally. 

“Oh, no. Now is - now is fine. Just great. And yes, let me draw you a chair - hang on -” Charan babbled as he pushed his own chair back and stood up. He grabbed a chair and dragged it to the opposite side of the desk before returning to his own. He pushed the script pages aside, opening his desk drawers to find a copy of his schedule for the next month. 

“This month is mostly empty,” he said, pushing the schedule across to Tarak. “I just finished shooting the previous movie, it’s in post production now. Couple of dubbing bits left though. But I haven’t got - I don’t know exactly when. There are a few parties next month that I need to make an appearance at but this month is just - wardrobe fittings for the next movie starting up in six weeks time. Just got the script for it. I hope this one goes well because the last one - I don’t think it was very good, I think it’s going to bomb in the theatres - I did think it wasn’t a good idea but -” Stop talking. Stop talking. Stop talking.

“When would you like me to report each morning?” Tarak asked him, thankfully cutting off Charan’s rambling speech. “I’ll need a copy of this sent through to my phone.”

“I’ll ask Raju to do that. And I go to the gym early five mornings a week, like about four thirty. Two mornings I go riding. When I’m in town that is. Is that okay?”

“You make the hours.” Tarak said quietly. 

“I do have a small home gym but I enjoy working out with other people and my gym is fantastic. You can join me if you want, it’s a lot of fun.” Charan said, feeling a slight pang. Sudhakar was a fantastic gym buddy, he kept Charan motivated and kept unwanted company away. 

“Okay, and afterwards?” Tarak asked him, after another long pause filled with Charan brooding. 

“Oh.” Charan shook himself. “Afterwards I go home and have breakfast. Then a quick shower and I start for wherever I’m supposed to go by seven. To this office or shooting or whatever is on the schedule. I generally work till five unless it’s a shoot which can go on till ten. Most evenings I get off, I try to stay at home but there are sometimes functions I have to attend or people I have to have dinner with. Sometimes I meet my family or friends. That’s pretty much it.” He finished rather lamely, realising it did not sound very clear at all.

“Alright, sounds pretty straightforward.” Tarak said crisply, folding the schedule up and pulling out his phone. “I can start today if you want. Here’s my number, I already have yours. Just call or text me ten minutes before you need to leave and I’ll join you in the lobby. Is there anything you’d like to ask me?”  

“No. I mean, okay.” Charan said, grabbing his own phone.

“Yes?” Tarak asked politely.

“What?”

“You wanted to ask me something?”

“Oh.” Charan fumbled with his phone and it slipped out of his hands. “No, I mean. Not really. Sorry.”  

“That’s great then. See you later sir.” Tarak said, standing up and pushing his chair back.

“Just Charan is fine.” Charan replied, blushing slightly as he held out his hand. “And it is nice having you here - onboard I mean.”

“Likewise.” Tarak said, smiling slightly as he shook Charan’s hand again. His hand was warm and calloused. Charan shivered involuntarily at the touch, his heart picking up. His own hand felt clammy and cold. He wished he had wiped it before he shook Tarak’s hand. The tips of his fingers touched the cool wood of the beaded bracelet on Tarak’s hand, and he wondered if some girlfriend had given it to him. The thought of Tarak having a girlfriend suddenly made him feel a little sick. 

“I’ll let you get on with your reading?” Tarak’s voice broke through again and Charan dropped his hand like he’d had an electric shock. 

“Yes of course, let me see you out.” He pushed his chair aside hastily and headed to the door, catching his foot on his laptop cable. Charan made an undignified squeak as he pitched forward, straight into Tarak’s chest as the other man leaped forward to catch him. Charan’s laptop thudded on to the carpeted floor behind him. 

“Easy, easy.” Tarak’s low voice whispered to him, like he was trying to soothe a nervous horse. He smelled like sandalwood and starch and sunlight, a woodsy, earthy smell that reminded Charan of the countryside surrounding their Bangalore estate. He felt his face flame up in embarrassment - he was a dancer, an equestrian, a runner - all things that needed excellent hand-eye coordination. Ten minutes with this magnificent man and he had turned into a ditzy feather headed idiot. 

“They’re hard to see, these cables.” Tarak said, tugging Charan back into his seat and picking up his laptop. “I’ve tripped over them so many times myself.” He plugged it back in and smiled at Charan, his eyes lighting up for the first time since he had entered the room. His tone was kind and easy, and Charan found himself smiling back despite his embarrassment. “I’ll see myself out, don’t worry. Need to catch up with Ravi anyway.”

He walked to the door and glanced back. “See you later Charan.”

“Bye.” Charan whispered, and when the door clicked shut buried his face in his hands. 

‘You’ll like him, Charan. There’s something about him.’ Ravi had said. Well there certainly was something about Tarak. Just his luck that he had to end up with the hottest man he had ever seen in his life as his fucking bodyguard. Someone he had to talk to and travel with every single day. Someone he needed to see in the gym. He wondered what Tarak looked like under his shirt. He had certainly felt like a brickhouse when Charan had laid against his chest.  

Charan groaned and pulled at his hair. He was screwed.

Did WMLP Dick keep anything from his army days?

Man I've been watching too many SRK movies because the thoughts I have of Dick's army days are just entirely inspired by his films.

Maybe I shouldn't have watched Jawan lmao.

Anyway. he wouldn't have gear or clothes or anything. And I doubt there's any photos. he might have dog tags though? and whatever symbols of office he earned or whatever. hang on lemme google things.

okay so apparently dog-tags are a thing in the ADF? so he probably has those.

The ADF doesn't do shiny medallion things for ranks as far as I'm aware. they have the colour bar fabric things, which are like. velcroe I think? and they used to be on the shoulder but too may people were sniping officers, so they moved them to the chest. Dick might still have that. probably whatever form of ID he was given as well.

Slade wasn't sentimental about objects, and he wouldn't let Dick be either. So he probably only has a few things.

After getting death threats, Shah Rukh Khan requests police protection and is elevated to Y+ security

After Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan has been receiving death threats, due to which Mumbai Police and the superstar’s team have jumped into action. Bollywood confronting the wrath of the mafia was a very infamous phenomenon in the 1990s, and it appears that it has returned to haunt the superstars, particularly Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan. While the blackbuck case resulted in death threats for Salman and his family, the threats for Shah Rukh Khan appear to have reappeared following his phenomenal success with Jawan and Pathaan. And the actor is now protected by Y+ security.

Readers would be known that Shah Rukh Khan achieved unprecedented success in 2023, becoming the only Indian star to garner two huge blockbusters in a row. Following that, the actor appears to have approached the Mumbai police for protection, revealing that he had been receiving death threats, after which the police sprung into action and provided him with Y+ security cover, which includes six armed personnel around the clock, as opposed to his previous security, which only included two officers. After Salman Khan obtained the same security earlier this year after receiving death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang, Shah Rukh Khan is the next actor to receive it. Previously, in a post published by Sanjay Gupta, the filmmaker praised Shah Rukh Khan not just for his performance in Jawan, but also for his capacity to stand up and speak out against wrongdoing. He also recounted how, in the 1990s, Bollywood, particularly Shah Rukh Khan, faced multiple threats from the mafia, and how the superstar refused to back down. In his tweet, he stated, "I watched JAWAN. I felt obligated to share this. When the underground bullying of movie stars was at its apex in the 1990s, @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who refused to give in. "Goli marni hai mar do, tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga," he says. Pathan hoon main." He stated. He's still the same today. Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, depicts the superstar as a police officer who takes severe measures to pursue justice by assembling an army to fight the battle in the most unexpected methods.

Stunning Diamonte Silver Plated Indian OMPoppy Hindu British India Brooch Pin Stunning Diamonte Silver Plated Hindu Poppy Brooch Cake Pin

The Forgotten Heroes

Hindus are commonly distinguished as weak so therefore poor soldiers, yet they had been involved in fighting wars for others more than themselves. Among the first foreign forces were Hindus to fight for British on the Western front. In the war, India had hugely supported the British in most areas, these including: Politically, economically and also in military. At a time when majority of Indians were suffering from poverty and malnourishment, they gifted 100 million pounds for them to participate and strengthen the British in war. The support was in exchange also for the British’s understanding in giving India independence, which the British were in no hurry to fulfil. In total, approximately 1,338, 620 Hindus participated in the war. This number easily totals the number of army force from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa by 178,000. Hindu soldiers were involved in lands as diverse as, Palestine, France, Syria and Mesopotamia. Some historians say that it was the Hindu army which changed the course of the war by turning German soldiers at Marne. Hundreds of Thousands of Hindu soldiers lost their lives and no hero’s welcome awaited the survivors.

In the first World War, the Indian corps won 13,000 medals and 12 Victoria crosses and this is something that deserves broad recognition around the globe.

 It was Indian jawans (junior soldiers) who stopped the German advance at Ypres in the autumn of 1914, soon after the war broke out, while the British were still recruiting and training their own forces. Hundreds were killed in a gallant but futile engagement at Neuve Chappelle. More than 1,000 of them died at Gallipoli, thanks to Churchill's folly. Nearly 700,000 Indian sepoys (infantry privates) fought in Mesopotamia against the Ottoman Empire, Germany's ally, many of them Indian Muslims taking up arms against their co-religionists in defence of the British Empire.

The most painful experiences were those of soldiers fighting in the trenches of Europe. Letters sent by Indian soldiers in France and Belgium to their family members in their villages back home speak an evocative language of cultural dislocation and tragedy. "The shells are pouring like rain in the monsoon," declared one. "The corpses cover the country, like sheaves of harvested corn," wrote another.

 These men were undoubtedly heroes - pitchforked into battle in unfamiliar lands, in harsh and cold climatic conditions they were neither used to nor prepared for, fighting an enemy of whom they had no knowledge, risking their lives every day for little more than pride. Yet they were destined to remain largely unknown once the war was over: neglected by the British, for whom they fought, and ignored by their own country, from which they came.

We made this Poppy OM Brooch to commemorate the sacrifice of all Hindu Soldiers who participated and sacrificed their lives in both World War I and II.

Kargil War Memorial in Ladakh: A Tribute to Bravehearts

The Kargil War Memorial in Ladakh stands as a solemn tribute to the valiant soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the Kargil War of 1999. Located in the Dras sector, this memorial, also known as the Dras War Memorial, commemorates the courage, determination, and patriotism of the Indian armed forces. For anyone visiting Ladakh, a stop at the Kargil War Memorial is not just a chance to pay respects but also an opportunity to reflect on the nation's history and the cost of freedom. Alongside this significant site, the Brigade War Gallery in Ladakh provides additional insights into the military history of the region, offering visitors a comprehensive understanding of the strategic importance of Ladakh.

The Historical Significance of the Kargil War Memorial

The Kargil War Memorial was constructed by the Indian Army to honor the memory of the soldiers who lost their lives during Operation Vijay, the operation that successfully repelled Pakistani forces from the Indian territories they had occupied in the Kargil sector. The war, which lasted for nearly three months, was marked by some of the most intense and challenging military operations carried out at high altitudes.

The memorial itself is located in the foothills of the Tololing Hill, one of the key battlegrounds during the conflict. The location was chosen not only for its proximity to the actual battle sites but also for its visibility from the nearby Dras town, ensuring that the sacrifices made by the soldiers are never forgotten.

Design and Architecture of the Memorial

The Kargil War Memorial is an architectural marvel, blending elements of modern and traditional design. The central feature of the memorial is a large pink sandstone wall inscribed with the names of the soldiers who laid down their lives during the war. This Wall of Heroes serves as a poignant reminder of the individual sacrifices that collectively contributed to India's victory.

In front of the Wall of Heroes, there is a statue of a soldier in a saluting posture, symbolizing the respect and gratitude of the nation. The memorial also features an Amar Jawan Jyoti, an eternal flame that burns in memory of the fallen soldiers, signifying their undying spirit and the nation's eternal respect for their sacrifice.

The Role of the Brigade War Gallery in Ladakh

Complementing the Kargil War Memorial is the Brigade War Gallery in Ladakh, which offers a detailed look into the strategic and operational aspects of the Kargil War. This gallery houses an extensive collection of photographs, artifacts, and documents related to the conflict, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the Indian Army.

The gallery also includes displays on the broader military history of Ladakh, showcasing its importance as a strategic location in India's defense network. Visitors can explore exhibits on various military operations conducted in the region, learn about the harsh conditions under which the soldiers operate, and gain insights into the tactical decisions that led to India's victory.
