  • The Param Vir Chakra (PVC) is India's highest military decoration, awarded for displaying distinguished acts of valour during wartime. Param Vir Chakra translates as the "Wheel of the Ultimate Brave", and the award is granted for "most conspicuous bravery in the presence of the enemy". As of January 2018, the medal has been awarded 21 times, of which 14 were posthumous and 16 arose from actions in Indo-Pakistani conflicts. Of the 21 awardees, 20 have been from the Indian Army, and one has been from the Indian Air Force. Major Somnath Sharma, was the first recipient. A number of state governments of India as well as ministries of the central government provide allowances and rewards to recipients of the PVC (or their family members in case of the recipient's death). The history of present-day Indian gallantry awards can be traced back to the rule of the East India Company, when the first formal award was instituted by Lord William Bentinck in 1834 as the Order of Merit, later renamed the Indian Order of Merit in 1902. During the First World War, the British awards system was adopted and continued through the Second World War. Post-independence, new awards were instituted on 26 January 1950, with retroactive effect from 15 August 1947. The PVC is equivalent to the Victoria Cross in the United Kingdom and the Medal of Honor in the United States. (en)

  • La Param Vir Chakra (PVC) è la più alta decorazione onorifica militare dell'India, concessa per atti di valore ed estremo coraggio "di fronte al nemico"; tra le onorificenze nazionali indiane, è seconda per importanza solo alla Bharat Ratna (che però è un'onorificenza civile). La PVC fu istituita con decreto del presidente dell'India Rajendra Prasad il 26 gennaio 1950, data della proclamazione ufficiale della repubblica in India, anche se la sua applicazione fu retrodatata fino al 15 agosto 1947, data della proclamazione dell'indipendenza; la medaglia prendeva il posto della Victoria Cross britannica, fino a quel momento la più alta decorazione dell'esercito dell'India Britannica. La medaglia è assegnata al personale delle tre forze armate (esercito, aviazione e marina militare) sia in servizio attivo che nella riserva, al personale delle forze paramilitari, alle infermiere, al personale medico ed a tutti i civili di ambo i sessi in servizio anche permanente con le forze armate indiane, per "cospicuo coraggio o atti di valore o audacia in presenza del nemico, in terra, mare od aria"; la medaglia può essere concessa anche postuma. Chi la consegue ha diritto ad un premio in denaro e (se di grado inferiore a tenente o equivalente) ad un assegno di mantenimento del valore di 1.500 rupie, trasferibile alla vedova in caso di morte; diversi Stati dell'India prevedono premi o pensioni aggiuntive da conferire ai detentori della PVC. La Ashoka Chakra è l'equivalente della PVC in tempo di pace, conferita cioè per atti di valore o coraggio "in assenza del nemico". (it)

Elle peut être remise à tout soldat de l'armée, sans considération de son rang ou de sa branche d'appartenance, pour un acte de bravoure au combat. Elle remplace la distinction britannique de la bravoure, la Croix de Victoria (Victoria Cross). Les récipiendaires peuvent ajouter les lettres post-nominales PVC à leur nom. (fr)

  • De Param Vir Chakra is de hoogste onderscheiding voor dapperheid in de republiek India. De onderscheiding werd in 1950 door de Indiase president ingesteld voor "opvallende dapperheid in het oog van de vijand".De ene graad en de achter de naam van de gedecoreerde gedragen letters "P.V.C." herinneren aan het Britse "Victoria Cross". Ook de Indische onderscheiding heeft een purperrood lint.Het lint is iets paarser dan dat van de Britse evenknie. Op de medaille zijn vier drietanden afgebeeld. De drietand of "vajra" is een symbool en attribuut van de Hindoeïstische god van de oorlog Indra. Het is volgens de Vedische geschriften een "onoverwinnelijk" wapen. Zoals veel Indiase onderscheidingen zijn ook de dapperheidsonderscheidingen in drievoud ingesteld. Zie daarom ook: * De Param Vir Chakra * De Maha Vir Chakra * De Vir Chakra (nl)
