Maha Vir Chakra
# Maha Vir Chakra

La Maha Vir Chakra (MVC) (littéralement grande médaille de guerrier) est la deuxième plus haute décoration militaire en Inde après le Param Vir Chakra. Elle est décernée pour des actes de bravoure remarquables en présence de l'ennemi, que ce soit sur terre, en mer ou dans les airs. Elle a remplacé le British Distinguished Service Order (DSO). La médaille peut être décernée à titre posthume.

## Aspect

La médaille est en argent standard et est de forme circulaire. En relief sur l'avers figure une étoile héraldique à cinq pointes avec pièce centrale circulaire portant l'emblème de l'Inde au centre. Les mots "Mahavira Chakra" sont en relief en devanagari et en anglais au revers, avec deux fleurs de lotus au milieu. La décoration est porté sur la gauche de la poitrine avec un ruban de 3,2 cm divisé en 2 moitiés, une partie blanche et une partie orange. La partie orange est près de l'épaule gauche.

## Histoire

Plus de 218 actes de bravoure et de courage désintéressé ont été reconnus et ont justifié l'attribution de la médaille depuis sa création. Le plus grand nombre de MVC décernés en un seul conflit eu lieu lors de la guerre indo-pakistanaise de 1971, lorsque onze décorations furent attribuées à l'Indian Air Force.

## Barrettes sur la MVC

Il était prévu dès l'origine d'attribuer une barrette supplémentaire pour une seconde attribution de la médaille Maha Vir Chakra. Les deux premières furent décernés en 1965. À ce jour, il y a six double décorations :

| # | Rang | Nom | Date du premier prix | Date du deuxième prix |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| 1 | Commandant de l'aile | Jag Mohan Nath | 1er janvier 1962 | 1er septembre 1965 |
| 2 | Major général | Rajinder Singh Sparrow | 19 mars 1948 | 6 septembre 1965 |
| 3 | Général | Arun Shridhar Vaidya | 16 septembre 1965 | 5 décembre 1971 |
| 4 | Commandant de l'aile | Padmanabha Gautam | 6 septembre 1965 | 5 décembre 1971 |
| 5 | Colonel | Chewang Rinchen | 1er juillet 1948 | 8 décembre 1971 |
| 6 | Brigadier | Sant Singh | 2 novembre 1965 | 2 janvier 1972 |

Il n'y a eu aucune triple attribution de la VMC à ce jour.

L'attribution de la décoration entraîne le droit d'utiliser MVC comme abréviation post-nominale.
