- #KargilHeroes: The Story of a Soldier who Climbed Kargil’s Icy Slopes Barefoot to Defeat the Enemy
 Sanchari Pal
“Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it, it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.” - Author Unknown
The legacy of Kargil heroes is as vast and varied as India itself. Among the many brave hearts who laid down their lives in the inhospitable mountains of Kargil was a man whose actions in the battlefield transcended heroism.
This is the story of that unbelievably courageous soldier, Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse.
Fondly addressed as Neibu by his family and friends, and Neibu Sahab by the north Indian soldiers who served under him, Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse was born in Nerhema village in the district of Kohima. A century ago, during Nagaland’s head-hunting days, the village was called Nerhema or home of the ones who always fought.
The fiercely independent Naga spirit was a family legacy for Capt. Kenguruse. His great great grandfather, Perheile, had been one of the most respected warriors of the village. Today, there is a mist shrouded monument in Nerhema, dedicated to the warrior’s grandson, an equally brave soldier with a tongue twister of a name.
Neibu’s father, Neiselie Kenguruse, was a grade peon in the government. Deeply religious and anti-war, he initially didn’t want his son to join the army but Neibu convinced him that the honour of serving in the armed forces far outweighed the risks that the job entailed. After graduating from the Kohima Science college, Neibu served as a teacher at a Government High School in Kohima before being commissioned into the Indian Army on December 12, 1998.
In 1999, when the Kargil war started, Capt. Kenguruse was a junior commander in the Rajputana Rifles battalion. For his determination and prowess, he was made the lead commander of the Ghatak Platoon of his battalion. Only the most physically fit and motivated soldiers make it into the dreaded Ghatak platoon that makes up the first wave of Indian Army’s counter forces.
On the fateful night of June 28, 1999, Capt. Kenguruse’s platoon was given the responsibility of taking out a strategic machine gun post held by the enemy on a cliff face, the Black Rock. Heavy gun fire from this position had been hindering the battalion’s progress in the sector for days.
As the commando platoon scaled the cliff, they came under intense mortar and automatic fire from above. As a result, the team faced heavy casualties with Capt. Kenguruse being shot in the abdomen. Undeterred by the injury, he urged his men to carry on with the assault. On reaching the final cliff face, the platoon was halted by a sheer vertical rock wall that separated them from the enemy post.
To ensure that his platoon was able to climb this sheer cliff, he secured a rope for his men but his boots kept slipping on the icy slopes that hung at an obtuse angle. It would have been easy for him to retreat and get medical help but the profusely bleeding Capt. Kenguruse decided to do something incredibly brave.
At a height of 16,000 feet and in the bitingly cold temperature of -10 degrees Celsius, Capt. Kenguruse kicked off his boots. Using his bare feet to get a grip, he somehow climbed up freezing cliff while carrying a RPG rocket launcher with him.
Once on top, Capt. Kenguruse fired the rocket launcher at the seven Pakistani bunkers that stood before him. They replied with a hail of gunfire but he kept firing till he had decimated the bunkers. Two enemy soldiers from a nearby bunker rushed towards him, and he tackled them with his commando knife in hand-to-hand combat. He single-handedly downed two more infiltrators with his rifle before a volley of bullets blew him off the cliff. But his daring act had done enough to ensure that his troops would go on to capture the position.
Once the mission of doing so had been accomplished, his jawans looked down at the dark depths where their beloved commander lay dead, and dedicated the victory to him, crying themselves hoarse,
“Yeh aapki jeet hai, Nimbu Sahab. Yeh aap ki jeet hai.”
Capt. Neikezhakuo Kenguruse was just 25 when he single-handedly neutralized the crucial enemy position before breathing his last. In his last letter to his father Capt. Kenguruse had written,
“Dad, I may not be able to return home to be a part of our family again. Even if I don’t make it, do not grieve for me because I have already decided to give my best for the nation.”
For his unmatched courage and supreme sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Maha Vir Chakra, the only soldier from the Army Services Corps (ASC) to have received it.Soldiers like Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse are not born every day. The sacrifice of this unsung hero, a true son of the Naga soil, must forever be remembered with gratitude by the country he died protecting.
We have heard tales of Captain Vikram Batra, Captain Manoj Pandey Captain Anuj Nair but heroes from our NE are never brought into limelight...Thanks to this platform for telling the tale of this brave and immortal Captain...Salute to you and your family for this sacrifice..
No brother I have watched hamapan dadas story In discovery show, I have also watched a discovery documents on naga regiment "the head hunters". Brother fouj deshkahay, kisi state or regionka neyy please don't discriminate them 🙏.
these brave people dies because of foolisness of atal bihari to not go into airstike on pakistanis....
a movie must be made for his historic sacrifice , capt Neikezhakuo Kenguruse
How have you not heard about him..
This is part of the Hindutva agenda - just highlighting the majority religion & sidelining the minorities.
Big salute to our Hero Captain kenguruse
Jai Hind ✊🇮🇳 RIP
Naga army bohat dangerous hota hai desh k liea hardam tayar. Jai hind..
Don't mention RIP ,Soldier kabhi ,rest in peace nahin krte , woh peace ko maintain krne k liye constitution ko preserve krne k liye jite aur marte hai . This is my kind request to you sir .
Salute to our Hero Captain Kenguruse you will always live in the hearts of all Indians
Yes❤❤
Indian media should be ashamed of itself. They keep talking Vikram Batra, Vijayant Thapar, Manoj Pandey and such other braves from rest of country but could not find a word for this incredibly brave Naga officer. I used to follow India Today during Kargil war and had read about his incredible act of bravery. It is first time after that I am hearing about him. I am sorry and ashamed, son, wherever you are that my fellow countrymen didn't even acknowledge your supreme sacrifice. God bless you.
I can't imagine the pain he must have to claim 16000 ft when enemies shooting from every side...claiming with barefooted is not easy no one can do.
Just 25 age but the brave heart who is never born to surrender but to defeat the enemies...
I think such brave person born less in our generation.... We love you brother.... Rip.... As we keep listen the speech n imagining the pain n the warfare... We listen with tears ..... We want you to continue live with us 😭😭😭😭😭😭 ... May you lived in our hearts n your story will be told from ages to ages... 😩😩😩😩😩😢😢😢😢. .. Jai Hind...
Bravest of the brave - Nagas the pride of indian Army.
RIP captain. My gratitude and salute to his family.

Big salute for my indian hero
First of all Salute to Captain Kenguruse for his sacrifice n bravery for Motherland and my hearty condolence to his Family. Secondly there are many unsung heroes of Northeast India who sacrifice their life for the Motherland India in 1962, 1971, 1999 war but they didn't get so much importance or coverage then the soldiers of so called mainland India by so called mainland Media. Hearty sorrow for discrimination (So called u mainland People).
🙂I salute every soldier who sacrificed their lives fighting against enemies...... And the biased national media is responsible for not covering stories of brave soldiers from northeast..
And about discrimination:Not everyone is racist and everyone don't do discrimination..And if anyone's doing discrimination, i strongly condemn it...Entire Indian territory is considered mainland...
Yeah... I think social media ... can now have power to take those unsung heros story now.... 🙂
Salute to brave indian soldier
Big salute Mr/ captain kangurus jai hind
Proud of you sir. Jai Hind 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
The Naga brave heart who sacrificed his life for the Bharat has not been given the due significance so far. His story is the most inspiring and contributed to our victory against the formidable enemy, Pakistan Army which was perched above the cliffs of Kargil.It is amazing feat of bravery that he climbed up to face the enemy.
Huge respect to captain kenguruse.
Untold story captain history should be shown in Film
M.. Proud m naga 💪💪💪💪
Big salute to you sir ji
Jai hind jai bharat ❤️❤️❤️
Salute to captain.
🫡❤️RIP sir kangurus, u r still alive with us coz of Ur bravo🥰.
There will be only few appreciation because he is from northeast!!!!
Brother there is nothing like this, I am from the state of Jammu and Kashmir. If there is less appreciation, it is all because of less awareness amongst normal citizens of India. I know a bit about of people of northeast owing to my curiosity in courageous deeds of people from difference cultures, ethnicities, region etc. I have many friends amongst people from north east, one term my friend particularly used for people other than from North-east is 'Hindi-log' and that to even for me despite hindi not being my mother tongue. Much of India is ignorant about us Dogras (people from Jammu region, you can read about Dogra General Zorawar Singh) and what to say about the valour of Dogras, yet we accept it the way it is owing ignorance of common folks. Please don't feel discriminated.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Major Gaurav Arya mentioned his name n story in detail
We are so great ful to you for letting us know this.
Thanku.
🌟🙏🏼 Salute to the valiant Hero of our Motherland 🙏🏼🌟
