Penguin Veer announces the publication of Yeh Dil Maange More: Remembering Captain Vikram Batra, My Brother, a moving and intimate tribute to one of India’s most celebrated military heroes. Written by Vishal Batra, the identical twin brother of Captain Vikram Batra, Param Vir Chakra, along with Anupma Mehta, the book offers readers a rare glimpse into the life, values, and legacy of the Kargil War hero through the eyes of those who knew him best.
More than twenty-five years after the Kargil War, Captain Vikram Batra remains a symbol of courage, patriotism, and selfless service. Revered across generations for his extraordinary bravery and remembered for the iconic phrase that became synonymous with his spirit, his story continues to inspire millions of Indians.
In Yeh Dil Maange More, Vishal Batra recounts memories of growing up alongside his twin brother in Palampur, tracing their shared childhood, aspirations and unbreakable bond. The book goes beyond the battlefield to reveal the person behind the uniform—his warmth, determination, sense of humour and deep commitment to those around him.
Part memoir, part tribute, and part celebration of an enduring legacy, the book reflects on the profound impact Captain Vikram Batra’s life and sacrifice had on his family, his comrades and the nation. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, readers are invited to understand the man behind the legend and the values that continue to resonate long after his passing.
Publishing in July 2026, Yeh Dil Maange More is a significant addition to the growing body of literature on India’s military history and offers a heartfelt perspective on heroism, family and remembrance.
