Inspiring stories of bravery and patriotism, of war and heroics will be the key content for the series.

A total of over 400 real life stories have already been researched for the series by Major General G.D. Bakshi & his team. These stories are picked from the most conspicuous acts of bravery or some daring acts of valor or self-sacrifice by the personnel of Indian Armed Forces in the presence of the enemy whether on land, at sea or in the air.

On the creation of this series Major General G D Bakshi said, “A Sanskrit proverb says Yuddhasya Katha Ramya - the tales of war are enchanting. The Indian Armed Forces and BSF are some of the most combat tested forces in the world. There are hundreds of stories of great valor and sacrifice that can motivate our children and spread values of duty honor and courage among our youth. An animated series portraying these stories is the best way to instill values in today's time.”

It is Animation!”

The Production Head & pipeline architect Mr. Anand Pandey feels, “War Heroes of India series raises the bar of animation production quality, the thought that every Bhartiya citizen should feel connected and inspired by the visual imagery of this show excites me.” 

The series editor and sound designer of the series J.V.Varaprasad says, “The real story that defines determination, loyalty, courage, perseverance, patience, focus, intrepidity and selflessness, the story of a real hero. It's time for real stories and not for reel stories.” 

Mr. Aditya Bakshi the executive producer of the series says, "I was driven by sheer inspiration while creating INDIAN WAR COMICS.
