My Time as a PoW in Pakistan-a story of courage, pain, pride and hope | Capt. GR CHOUDHARY | TEDxRTU

[@rajkamal5342]

Captain Choudhury Sir, I salute to you & your courage, and to your mother, father and the family. I was 23 during that war and vividly remember the stories of our war heros who showed exemplary discipline, bravery and courage under the leadership of Field Marshall Sam Manekshaw.

[@tejasmohite2651]

it is shockig that none of our war heroics are written or taught in textbooks it must be included everyone of this country must kno the sacrifices

[@shivamdobriyal]

Tejas Mohite because we study what communists wanted us to study

[@anitapandey495]

As it can grow a feeling of proud for our own nation which I am afraid to say some don't want to happen

[@khanshahorakzai1878]

Im Also Spy. Me B India Me 8 Saal Raha Hu Or 10 Barahman Auraton Ko Preg Kiya Hai

[@rizwanqamar1974]

Salaam from an ordinary Pakistani Sir! You inspire me. Lots of Love! My dad was an army officer and he had fought in 1971 war. He's dead now but he used to tell me about the war. It hurts me to hear your tale.

[@mohananandjanotra2044]

I see my father as i see you. Who died in 2015. He served in AEC

[@antimsabak123]

Great Sir, Though I am 71 years, I am overwhelmed. From your experiences, I think the younger generation will learn a lot on national pride, devotion to duty towards motherland and nation building. Salute the forces. Jai Hind

[@vijaykrishnan5340]

We sleep because you stay awake We live because you die. We thrive because you sacrifice God bless you valiant heroes who keep our flag flying always, Jai Hind.

[@manishasarade14]

No amount of thanks will ever be enough for men like you, sir. The least we can do is to be citizens worth fighting for. Immense gratitude sir. The nation shall always remember your service.

[@gowrishankerv9860]

Manisha:” the least we can do is to be citizens worth fighting for “. Absolutely right. We have to be worthy of the gallant men who not only risk death defending us,but like Chaudry expose themselves fearlessly to the risk of capture and brutal torture.

[@rahulkumar-hz5xt]

sir, my grandfather also fought in the '71 war and my father served in the Indian Air force. I thank you for your service and I salute you.

[@amitdwivedi9951]

Bro..saw your comment..I can feel your happiness on kashmir being free and completely indian now..jai hind

[@mohitdaheriya8712]

@@amitdwivedi9951 unfortunately no, Kashmir was always Indian,there is not an iota of doubt in it,and regarding that 370 Scrap, great it scrapped,but in manner it scrapped was unconstitutional and it scrapping still not stopped even 2% of militancy or terrorist activities there and the whole j&k citizens are in lock down from past 1 year with 2g internet,with such kind of dacronian step,they have not stopped terrorism and also common citizen there are suffering even.

[@shaahedrehana8816]

I salute Indian Army, and you also SIR. Wonderful Human being. What an upbringing, parvarish you received Sir. Dil chaahtaa hai ki ek baar aapke Parents ke Darshan Karoon.

[@indraneilbiswas]

Handing over captured Pak territory and not negotiating PoK without conditions was a blunder in Shimla. Gilgit Baltistan should have been exchanged for 90000 POWs; the 3000 out of them who were war criminals in Bangladesh should have been tried in a Nuremberg style court and executed. We should have known how to convert a military victory into a total one like the USSR did in Potsdam in 1945.

[@inderrsharma7564]

Our weakest point is our generosity. I totally agree with you. Political will power and diplomacy could have been utilized in a much better way so as to correct the mistake committed by Nehru in UN admitting about referrandum in Kashmir

[@MuhammadAwais-yr9jx]

There were only 32000 troops, other 58000 were civilians or people working in army service.Otherwise indian army ki itni himmat na hoti

[@kunalnagwanshi8752]

Muhammad Awais dude.. why you lying.. they all are pak army.. 91000.. and well trained

[@ManishKumar-qf4zb]

All Credit goes to CUNNING Congress

[@sourabhyadav9493]

Many new protocol came into existence related to ethics of wars and pows after 1945....so Nuremberg style trial wasnt exactly possible

[@jkishan1964]

Capt Chaudhary Sir Aapko hamara pyar bhara aur respectful salaam. Jai Bharat 🇮🇳

courage under fire and still standing strong=that's him right there 👍👍👍respect sir

[@timeslog]

I am impressed, quite impressed. God bless you. They were committing atrocities on their own people, and the ones who weren't of them became their saviors. Indeed in 1971 victorious indian Army played good Samaritan for all the sides. Personally in Delhi I have been saved by Hindus out of compulsion of conscience what ever you might say. from the clutches of co-religioist when I was undergoing atrocities and hate crimes out. My Hindu landlord out of compassion had rented his room at huge concession and never increased rent for 15 years. I immediately struck a chord with you, sir.
