Left out or changed by Shishya: SHAPE CHANGE: the brief asked for 'operation/war + year', but no reachable official page prints a war/operation per awardee: gallantryawards.gov.in refused connections/timed out on 2026-10-27, and the National War Memorial page prints only rank, name, award and a date. So value = the date exactly as NWM prints it (it matches the action dates in the PIB backgrounder 'A Gallery of Eternal Courage: Inauguration of Param Vir Dirgha', 21 Dec 2025, https://static.pib.gov.in/WriteReadData/specificdocs/documents/2025/dec/doc20251221740401.pdf, which narrates the wars). Reword the forward question only if a war mapping is later read from gallantryawards.gov.in. Left out: CQMH Abdul Hamid - NWM prints '10 Sep. 1967', contradicted by the PIB note's '10 September 1965' (Khem Karan, 1965 war); Rifleman Sanjay Kumar - NWM prints '12 Dec. 1999', which falls outside the 1999 Kargil conflict and has no official confirmation found. Rank + name kept exactly as NWM prints them (e.g. 'Yogender', PIB spells 'Yogendra'). Dates are unique, so a reverse template is given.

Names and spellings are kept as the source prints them. Spotted a change on the official page? The list is re-read from the source, never from other sites.
