The Run-Up To ‘Operation Meghdoot’

NEW DELHI: ‘Operation Meghdoot’ launched by India in 1984 to preempt Pakistani designs of trying occupying the Siachen glacier remains a glorious chapter in India’s military history. India continues to hold those strategic heights ever since by outthinking its western neighbour. In this episode of ‘Simply Nitin’, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale explains the circumstances that made India launch a daunting operation at those dizzy heights where weather is the biggest adversary.

I have served as the BM- Brigade Major of the Siachen Brigade and dealt with the operations. Nitin as usual is very lucid and has given an excellent account of Operation Meghdoot in today's video and also in his book Beyond 9842. Well done and Keep it up. Excellent show.

The book beyond NG 9842 is extremely good which describes each minute details of history of Operation Meghdoot. Well written with interviews of all veterans involved. Once I started reading it , I couldn't control. I finished and then only kept the book aside. Thanks Nitin. Great efforts for writing this book.

[@rajuhirani9353]

One of the few hardcover books I own thank you sir

[@oysplrm9713]

Great salute from comman man like me

[@ketanpatil3489]

Very detailed vlog on events led to siachen...thanks Nitin sir

[@vikasshinde59]

Insights of Operation Meghdhoot detailing helps to understand the lay person like us who only read the headlines. Detailing is something which news channels also are not aware .. thanks for enlightenment

[@salilpunoose5248]

Very good story.

[@himanshu4299]

Next Operation Will Be In POK 🇮🇳..

[@boseaniirban]

Awesome!

[@raosreenivas3766]

Good insights into the Operation. India SHOULD make more such moves to get back POK in Salami slicing strategy. Also, its time that india stop Belt n road going through POK. Jai Hind , Jai bharath. 🙏

[@paramitaroy2256]

You are looking like my college professor I always enjoy your talk...you have enormous knowledge. To understand your topics are not so easy...

[@manojpatra6880]

Niec story sir

[@RadhakrishnaSharma]

Excellent as usual! Kudos for showing the maps.

[@gagandeepsingh-wf9gg]

Clearly the best defence channel on defence talk on KZbin

[@rohitlal73]

Great episode. Thanks for the detail you bring out. And kudos for the fantastic maps. Makes a huge difference in educating the viewer. I think maps are your strength as a channel.

[@simhadridebnath1078]

This channel deserves more subscribers and also u need to promote your KZbin channel with more sensational thumbnails and titles.

[@sanjivvkhanna1498]

Very nicely narrated by you Mr Nitin Gokhale on Ops Meghdoot. Detailed information explained on Siachen 👍👌

[@vishnudevmeena6977]

Great

[@ojassahasrabudhe3266]

Please do put the link in the description for the book. Also I highly recommend getting some KZbin marketing expert to better design the video titles and tags. This channel is an absolute gem, but has far too less subscribers and viewers. The video titles are very bad in my opinion. Many videos don't even have the name of the super famous person you have in the video like General Bipin Rawat.

[@chetansharma6085]

It would be really helpful if you can for once discuss “Brig. Surinder singh” and his allegations against Gen. Malik and Indian army.

[@JBC100]

wow...a beautiful plot for a Hollywood movie...I know Bollywood wont do that, may be Tollywood or Kollywood

[@PravinPatil41]

What would ave happened had India lost Siachen?
