Excellent series @Nitin Gokhale. Great to see the worthy protagonists of the time get recognition, and through them, the 527 other intrepid soldiers who unfortunately did not make it! Not to forget the 1,500+ who were injured and families left to suffer - ordinary people achieving extraordinary feats! Nice to hear Lt.Gen. Puri’s eloquent recount of those days. Despite the Kargil Review Committee’s deliberations, wish a more critical and transparent analysis had been done to examine intelligence as well as staff-level failures that resulted in casualties. Sad that commanders and soldiers such as Brigs. Devinder Singh and Amul Asthana, and Maj. Bhatnagar were made to pay the price for too-level failures. Truly unfortunate; however not too late for the government to redress, IMO!!

Excellent interview, as usual...Nitin!! Can you also please do a feature about Pt 5353? There is so little written about it.

General puri. I think u done very resonable analysis. I as a Pakistani Living in London last 50 years we should learn to live with peace and fight against the poverty. I have a very high respect for the Jung soldiers on both sides. This was only four generals half cut plan from Pakistan side. They used no heavy Artillery and no Air Forces and India used both. Otherwise would have been all out war. In that case things would have been gone to no return point and would be nothing left in the subcontinent. So we should pray for peace and fight against the poverty which is common enemy of both countries. Musharef answered this question in India while he was invited by Hindustan Time that why u done Kargil and he replied u made Bangladesh. Both Armies are professional but Mr Bachpi and General Musherf was very close to peace agreement and both our Brave and professional Armies from both countries rejected. What they will after the peace agreement sell PAkoras and India is too weak to fight CHINA AND same Pakistan is too small compared to India. But they can do unbelievable damage to each other. So India Pakistan china should learn in peace and in fact we Pakistan and India should learn something from china to make our peoples lives better and better like Chinese already did.
