Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has commemorated Kargil Vijay Diwas Ride with its #ForeverHeroes campaign. The campaign begun in 2019 to express gratitude for the armed forces and to value their contribution towards a secure, peaceful and wealthy nation.
Accomplishing several notable milestones that include the raising INR 14.9 million through motorcycle auctions for the Armed Forces Flag Day Fund, building a community hall for war hero widows, aiding the Indian Navy's ‘Seven Sisters Ride’, assisting the Indian Air Force's base ride, building the ‘Border Man’ statue at the Wagah Border and providing donations to the fund.
By delivering motorcycles through veterans, former service members and active-duty officers, the company is actively supporting the armed forces while promoting respect and appreciation for their contributions.
As part of the Forever Heroes Initiative, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles recently completed another successful edition of the Kargil Vijay Diwas Ride as a moving tribute to the unwavering spirit and sacrifices made by the Indian Armed Forces during the Kargil War.
The annual expedition took place to honour the bravery of the Indian soldiers. The Naga regiment of the Indian Army organised the ride under the slogan ‘First Breath to Last’. The slogan served as a symbolic link between the soldiers' hometown and the battlefield where they made the ultimate sacrifice in the war in 1999.
The expedition set out on a unique 3,620-kilometer ride on 02 July 2023 from Kohima, Nagaland, with a convoy of 24 riders consisting of Indian Armed Forces veterans, officers and troops. They carried with them the 'sacred soil' from the Naga homeland as a token of their origins and a tribute to their fallen comrades. Throughout the expedition, which involved traveling through difficult terrain, significant military installations and venerated war memorials, the riders showed remarkable unity and solidarity.
Ashwin Singh Joshi, CEO, Classic Legends, expressed, “Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles firmly believes in upholding a deep respect for the selfless sacrifice made by our men and women in uniform, who ensure the safety, security, and strength of our great nation. With a family background of military service, I recognise and appreciate the bravery of our soldiers and also the unwavering support, spirit, and sacrifices made by their families who stand steadfastly behind them with courage and resilience amidst challenges and uncertainties. Over the years, we have consistently extended our support to numerous causes in close coordination with the armed forces, successfully fostering crucial awareness among the masses. This year, our partnership holds special significance as we honour the valiant efforts and supreme sacrifice of the Naga Regiment during the Kargil conflict in 1999. We are privileged to facilitate a remarkable contingent of the Naga Regiment, equipping them with Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles for a ride to the Kargil War Memorial in Dras, an honour we deeply cherish. Our enduring alliance with the Indian Armed Forces further solidifies our commitment to this noble cause. Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles recognises the paramount importance of the Ladakh region and acknowledges the pivotal role played by the army as its guardians."
The Naga regiment's riders presented Major General Sachin Malik, GOC of the 8 Division, Indian Army, with the sacred soil at the Kargil War Memorial in Dras, Kargil, where the ride came to an end. A memorial service was held in honour of the brave soldiers who gave their lives while defending the country.
