International borders are unlikely to be breached In the future, India should concentrate on disputed areas with Pakistan and China: one of the lessons from the Kargil War, 20 years on, Lt. Gen. Mohinder Puri (Retd) tells SNI Associate Editor Amitabh P Revi. Commanding the spearhead of the Army's offensive with the 8 Mountain Division, Lt. Gen. Puri recounts the challenges, the shifting from counter-insurgency to high-altitude warfare, the intelligence failures and how the Army and Air Force turned the war around. He also salutes the bravery, courage and determination of men in going beyond the call of military duty and to their families who still withstand the terrible loss.
After Kargil, Lt. Gen Puri (Retd) commanded a Corps in the Punjab-Rajasthan sector, was Military Secretary and hung up his boots as Deputy Chief of the Army Staff. He is the author of the book, Kargil: Turning the Tide.
