Re: Gallantry awards of Indian air force
The Armed Forces of India are eligible for countless of military decorations. Decorations are awarded for extraordinary bravery and courage, and distinguished service during times of war and peace. Service and campaign medals have been awarded throughout the history of India as an independent state. Gallantry Awards (War) When India became a republic, India constituted its own Gallantry Award for bravery in Combat. Foremost was the Param Vir Chakra, followed in precedence by the Maha Vir Chakra and the Vir Chakra. The Indian Air Force also awards the Vayusena Medal (VM) for acts of bravery and service during war time wherever it seems the award of the VrC is not justifiable. Param Vir Chakra Maha Vir Chakra Vir Chakra Vayusena Medal Gallantry Awards (Peace) The Indian Peacetime Gallantry Awards were constituted on similar lines of the British Awards of the George Cross. These awards comprised the Ashoka Chakra, The Kirti Chakra and the Shaurya Chakra. All the three awards are given for showing conspicuous gallantry or bravery but away from the Battlefield. In effect, the awards were given for counter insurgency operations, and other situations where the awardee is not necessarily in the Field of the Battle. Initially the 3 awards were known as the Ashoka Chakra Class 1, Ashoka Chakra Class II and Ashoka Chakra Class III. After 1967 they were renamed as the current Ashoka, Kirti and Shaurya Chakras.
