EP-33 | From Kashmir to Doklam: Lt Gen Anil Bhatt (Retd) who handled the major operations

Lt Gen Anil Bhatt (Retd), DG, Indian Space Association served for 40 years in the Army in various capacities. He handled major operations in Kashmir as Chinar Corps Commander and was Director General of Military operations during the Doklam crisis with China in 2017. In this episode of ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, he shares his experience of bringing in normalcy in Jammu and Kashmir which led to the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A on August 5, 2019. He elaborates how the Indian Army eliminated three nephews of designated global terrorist Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Maulana Masood Azhar in Kashmir within days of them setting their foot on the Indian soil. In a candid conversation Lt Gen Bhatt (Retd) tells how forces dealt with the Doklam crisis as China brought forces in the Chumbi Valley- much closer to the LAC. In his current role as the DG of Indian Space Association, India opened the space to non-government private entities benefiting the Indian Space Industry.

I have known Gen Bhatt since 1993, when he was a young Major; just returned to Bhuj from Camberley, UK, after completing an year long course there. He is thorough professional, honest to the core and has the quality to inspire those who are lucky to interact with him. I am convinced that the Indian Space Association, under him, will earn laurels in the future.

Thank you sir for talking about the IDex platform. We were recipients of this IDex award from the Hon'ble Defence Minister last year and given the prestigious opportunity to contribute to the Indian Navy. It's one of my most amazing experiences in my professional career. I have got to directly go on field and work with our brave seamen and build a product that will be military certified. Feeling grateful that I as a civilian can contribute to the soldier in some tiny direct way. Jai Hind.

Crystal clear thought process and grasp of National policies - excellent podcast

[@SatpalVerma000]

National or union (federal). India is not a nation, it's union of nations. They are trying to make it a nation by abolishing the different nations with the union. How? Abolish all languages. They have already abolished languages in so called Hindi states. They tried with Punjab but failed but they haven't given up. They are in the process of abolishing punjabi language and make Punjab a Hindi state just like they did with bimaru states. This is called nation building. A nation is based on common language, culture and shared interests. Hope it makes sense
