Nishan-e-Haider (Urdu: نشان حیدر, translated as "Emblem of Haider, where Haider is the epithet of Hazrat Ali (A.S) and means Lion", abbreviated as NH), is the highest military award given by Pakistan. It is awarded to military personnel for extraordinary courage and valour beyond the call of duty in face of adversity in defence of the motherland. Its exclusivity may be gauged by the fact that in four Indo-Pak conflicts, only 10 Nishan-e-Haiders (and one equivalent) have been awarded.
