It is about how a band of 120 soldiers of the Punjab regiment of the Indian Army headed by Major Kuldip Singh Chandpuri successfully defended their post all night against a whole tank regiment of the Pakistani Army (The casualties on the Indian side was highly exaggerated in the film), until assistance came from the Indian Air Force the next morning.

Border

by: Spiritual Front

I'm paying a heavy debt
Tell me what is the most fertile sin
The one that despite all could keep me still alive
The one that could shake my improductive torpor
Give me a tough and humiliating discipline that can shake my nerves,
That can break my bones.
Make a severe move that could make my useless existance tremble.
Leave those like me at the end of this road.
Leave those like me on the edge of this blade.
Elegant men like you have created a great road to march on
And a father like you inflicted it on a son without values
Make it weigh strongly on my pale body
Force me to feel the cruel crime of remorse
And the obsessive nausea of ideals
Faith will not save me from myself
Nor will your words make me a saint
Leave those like me at the end of this road.
