Heroes who don’t necessarily work on the borders!

  Fighting from the front isn’t the only way to win a war and that's what every nation's classified army is all about! That part of the army that everyone's heard of but doesn't really know about.  With every passing day, the rules and strategies of the battleground evolve and to keep up with this growing pace, the armed forces are equipped with not just updated artillery but constantly updated 'information' as well. As aptly quoted by Lt-Gen Manoj Mukund Naravane,( Vice-Chief of Army Staff and the Chief of the Army Staff designate) “ I dare say that none of our military operations would have been successful had it not been for the support we got from various intelligence agencies including the Research & Analysis Wing and the DIA ” and truly every success that we as a nation accomplish on the borders is a culmination of synchronous efforts laid down by the armed forces along with the intelligence agencies. Thus our first post is dedicated to this dili...

1962 - The Victory That Was Possible

Image
'If we had sent a few airplanes (into Tibet), we could have wiped the Chinese out.' 'And everything could have been different in the 1962 War.' These were the words of the wing commander Jag Mohan Nath who was deployed in the air force in 1962 and he and the air force strongly believed that their involvement could have turned the tables around for India.  Can you imagine an India where more than 5000 soldiers' lives would have been saved (not to mention the countless other lives that we continue losing due to the constant cross-border issues at the Galwan valley)? An India where the Aksai Chin region, a highly strategic vantage point for China against India, could have stayed with India? Where possibly even the Indo-Pak 1965 war could have been avoided completely?  Exactly 59 years ago the lyrics aye mere vatan ke logon zara aankh mein bhar lo paani jo shaheed hue hain unki zara yaad karo qurbani had got the entire nation, the then prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru...

The greatest surrender-Vijay diwas indo-pak 1971 war.

Image
  “You surrender or We wipe you out” was the message given by Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw to Pakistan on 13th December 1971 and 3 days later the world witnessed an unprecedented and a public surrender of more than 93000 Pakistani soldiers. Celebrating the ‘Swarnim Vijay Varsh’ on the occasion of India’s victory over Pakistan in 1971 war that also liberated Bangladesh , 16 th December 1971 is a day to be reminisced with immense pride but did you know how exactly did the surrender from Pakistan become a reality? Well the harbinger of the final twisted moments of the fall of the Pakistani forces in Dhaka was brought about by Lieutenant General Jack Farj Rafael Jacob, PVSM and the entire episode could might as well beat the climax of any Hollywood movie! Tracing back 2 days before the great surrender, on 14 th of December the civil government of East Pakistan ceased to exist. Desperate Pakistani officials were looking for a ceasefire , a way to quietly end the war without loosing out...
