This article has quite a few problems when it comes to neutral point of view. It used to be (literally) a clone on the Indian Army website page. We need to fix it up. --

The article still seems to have a problem... why is the word "enemy" used? The war was against to "enemy" should be replaced with Pakistan. Using "enemy is POV.

Please also read the opening words of
Victoria Cross article on this encyclopedia: The Victoria Cross (VC) is the highest recognition for valour "in the face of the enemy" that can be awarded to members of the armed forces of some
Commonwealth countries — and before them some
British Empire personnel. It may be awarded to a person of any rank in any service, and civilians under military command. The Victoria Cross was introduced in
1856 and had been awarded 1,356 times. Please note that
Param Vir Chakra also uses the word enemy, and
Param Vir Chakra replaced
Victoria Cross when India got
independence from foreigners who had ruled India for centuries. Please also note that once the countries at war stop hostilities, they revoke the status of being at war. Technically, many countries had remained at war years after the hostilities had ended. For example, even after the end of the
Second World War in 1945, Japan continued to be treated as an enemy nation for many years until September, 1951 when the
Treaty of San Francisco was signed, and this "served to officially end World War II." --

However, Vivek you are right to an extent: after the word, enemy, Pakistan should be suffixed. But, it shall not be exactly true - when two nations are at war under International law, soldiers of warring countries are fighting and they are 'enemies' for each other. Citations while awarding such medals state the circumstances of fighting the enemies in the sense of human beings and not in the term of a country, that is, a sovereign state. I think that the matter stands resolved to your satisfaction. In case, you are still not satisfied, please message me. Fine. --

Based on above legal position I rolled back the latest edit which had removed reference to the image resulting into tagging of that image as "orphan." Rollback should be understood in this context. --

Go read
Wikipedia:Fair use more carefully. The image needs to add to the article in some way, not just be there for its own sake, and it needs to add to the article in a way that is relevant to the stamp, not to the person. For instance if the choice of background colors has a political significance, it is a fair use if the article/caption discusses that. Significance of the individual is irrelevant, there are thousands of people on stamps, and India Post clearly insists on control of the usage of stamp images.

I "went" there immediately and read. I could not find anything that precludes the use of the "stamp" in this page. However, if you are sure of the position, you are welcome to revert the page to the earlier position. If you so wish, I shall do the same. --
