Description
November 3, 1947. A 24-year-old officer with a broken arm stood between 700 armed raiders and Srinagar Airport — with only 90 men and a promise he refused to break.
This video tells the complete story of the Battle of Badgam — one of the most decisive yet lesser-known battles of the 1947-48 Kashmir war. When Pakistan launched Operation Gulmarg, sending thousands of armed tribal raiders disguised as "liberators" toward Srinagar, the fate of Kashmir came down to a single afternoon and a single company of soldiers led by Major Somnath Sharma of the 4th Battalion, Kumaon Regiment.
In this episode, we cover:
How Operation Gulmarg was planned as a deniable invasion of Kashmir
Brigadier Rajendra Singh's last stand that bought India critical hours
Maharaja Hari Singh's Instrument of Accession and the IAF's dramatic airlift into Srinagar
Major Somnath Sharma's decision to lead a patrol despite a fractured arm
The exact battle timeline of November 3, 1947 at Badgam
Sepoy Dewan Singh Danu's solo charge against overwhelming odds
Why the raiders mysteriously retreated just hours from taking the airport
The story behind India's first Param Vir Chakra and its remarkable designer, Savitri Khanolkar
This isn't just military history — it's the story of why modern Kashmir exists as part of India at all. Every road, every lake, every mountain pass in the Kashmir we know today was shaped by the decisions made in the hours after October 22, 1947. Major Sharma's final radio message — refusing to retreat even as he was surrounded — remains one of the most quoted lines in Indian military history, still recited to young officers today.
