#Kargil

As we celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of India's victory over an untrustworthy and reckless Pakistan in the summer of 1999; in the aptly named Operation Vijay, we must pause to pay our tribute to the officers and men of the armed forces for their unparalleled courage and incredible heroism displayed under the most unforgiving conditions of terrain, equipment constraints and information void. This also includes many unknown soldiers who may not have figured in the list of gallantry awardees but have meaningfully contributed to the overall success. For these gallant souls, nothing, absolutely nothing mattered more than restoration of the territorial integrity and honour of mother India even if it meant sacrificing their lives most willingly.
Maj (later Maj Gen) SC Mohanty considers himself fortunate to have been posted as the Brigade Major (now upgraded to Brigade General Staff Officer 1) of 56 Mountain Brigade during the operations and located at Dras. As a Brigade Major, he was responsible for conceptualising, planning, coordinating and the execution of all operations under the guidance of the Commander. He was also responsible for intelligence acquisition and developing operational synergy with other supporting agencies. He remembers several instances of heroism that saved the day for India and ensured victory.
For instance, to augment the firepower of forward troops, had mustered missile and air defence attachments from all over the country. While briefing them about the impending task, Mohanty apologetically told them that they didn't have the luxury of ideal acclimatization period necessitated to operate in such altitudes. The men from diverse units and varying social, cultural and regional background, almost in unison retorted back , “Sir, we have not come for acclimatisation. Just send us to the forwardmost tier and we are determined to give the enemy a bloody nose”. Their sense of commitment, eagerness to defy human endurance and glint in their eyes mesmerised him and nearly brought tears to his eyes. Our advanced dressing station ( a field hospital in the forward area) at Dras was overflowing with battle casualties till they were evacuated for specialised treatment in the rear areas. A large number of them while enduring serious splinter and bullet wounds were keen to hurry back to be with their units in this hour of ultimate honour every soldier aspires to be part of. Yes! There was fear of being left out of battle (FOMO in contemporary parlance). Manifestation of this spirit is evidenced in the letters written by officers and men to their families before launching assaults ( some never to return), currently displayed in the Hut of Remembrance at Kargil War Memorial at Dras.
It is an unwavering commitment to the nation that the armed forces will never let the country down even if it meant making the ultimate sacrifice is what Maj Gen Mohanty's ultimate takeaway from the Kargil war

Goosebumps sir's....Jai hind🇮🇳

[@karma10pa]

Being one of many of your followers of your channel I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate every series/content, there’s no dearth of dedication and passion towards the armed forces and the geopolitics that comes at play, however maybe it’s an oversight from my side but Ive never come across interviews of soldiers/officers from the northeast &ladakh who I’m sure have sacrificed their lives for the nation…the people of northeast & ladakh have always been at the forefront of all wars!! Movies documentaries have always brushed our people under the carpet or have been part of a narrative that’s not widespread!!!

[@Bikrantpanda]

Well said Maj. General . Thank you for the clarity.

[@shamsundarkhare6054]

Excellent

[@mr.whostheboss9884]

Great

[@LmL_22]

Really good questions

[@Janata_Engineering_Satana]

Excellent effort team stratnewsglobal and Nitinji. No other material can be more insightful than the veterans giving firsthand information about the war. Nitinji, my suggestion would be to do the similar kind of series on other wars that India have fought especially on '62 and '65 since these are least documented ones. And yes my heartfelt applauds as an history enthusiast for creating a professional material for next generations studying history of Indian warfare

[@mv0112012]

Jai hind

[@rameshchander471]

[@hamzaafridi7628]

Very informative

[@chitreshkapoor]

I absolutely love watching StratNews. Superb analysis and extremely high end quality content on national Defence. ❤

[@RajuRaj-if3oq]

Without any doubt, bravery of Indian jawans won tiger hill,tolling,kargil war. 1) who was responsible/ whose mistakes was kargil ? 2) Despite Siachen 1984 & knowing the enemies how can indian army withdraw all its troops from kargil & nearby area in winters ? 3) why indian army didn't use Anti-aircraft guns like L 70, zu 23, and other guns available at that time ? 4) Indian army introduced Bofors & Pinaka MBRL very late in Kargil war ? 527 young man died, 1800 plus injured .? 4) Again Pakistani military modernization well ahead of india --we find in every war ? stringers missiles, German machine guns Why india always lack behind in the race of military modernization ?

[@uchatila1053]

Angreji main wo baat ni banti hai....pls try to do your podcasts in HINDI

[@rahultyagi3850]

Wasn't it the biggest failure of army ? We lost 650+ soldiers.

[@Eshankashyap23]

No ,it was complete intelligence failure and ofcourse gov. Also about American gps satellite and shitty insas rifles .

[@Gorkhali_01]

We lost 527 men. 522 from the army and 5 from the airforce.

[@jayeshdube8448]

Congratulations ! Bro you just reflected your dumbness

[@AlokAsthana1954]

I see. So leaving your own posts was not ‘letting down the nation? ’ Pak occupied so much Indian territory without firing a shot. Proud of it?

[@babayega3987]

I believe they vacated the posts as per norms and not abandoned it mid fight. Pakis did come without firing a shot but were kicked out none the less.
