The soldier posted at the borders protecting the country is martyred for the nation but he doesn’t ask what the nation did for him. He simply breathes his last for the nation and here some naive men stand up and question as to what has India

Though severely wounded, he refused to be evacuated so that he does not reduce the numbers available for the fight, by diverting them to take him to safety.
Instead he kept on fighting till the time he could.

Soon thereafter he succumbed to his injuries, right there on his final battlefield.
This 24 year son of an SBI employee, had done what under normal circumstances, might have been considered impossible.
But circumstances that summer were far from 'normal'.

It was yet another small step in Indian Army's steady march towards the Line of Control, paved by the blood of yet more young men whom delusional Brown Panted Pakistani Generals had failed to take into account as they fantasized about glory in Kargil & Siachen

कारगिल युद्ध को जम्मू-कश्मीर के कारगिल सेक्टर में लाइन ऑफ कंट्रोल के किनारे, 1999 के मई-जुलाई के दौरान लड़ा गया था। इस युद्व में भारतीय सेना ने पाकिस्तान के 3 हजार सैनिकों को मार गिराया था। यह युद्ध 18 हजार फीट की ऊंचाई पर लड़ा गया था।

कारगिल युद्ध के दौरान भारतीय सेना को कई बड़ी मुश्किलों का सामना करना पड़ा था। पाकिस्तानी सैनिक ऊंची पहाड़ियों पर थे जबकि हमारे सैनिकों को गहरी खाई में रहकर उनसे मुकाबला करना था। भारतीय जवानों को आड़ लेकर या रात में चढ़ाई कर ऊपर पहुंचना पड़ रहा था, जोकि बहुत जोखिमपूर्ण था।

कारगिल युद्ध 60 दिनों तक चला और अंततः 26 जुलाई 1999 को पाकिस्तान को मुंह की खानी पड़ी। भारत में युद्ध में विजय पताका फहराई और देश के स्वाभिमान के इस प्रतीक को ‘ऑपरेशन विजय’ नाम दिया गया।

हिवाळ्यात #कारगिल परिसर राहण्यासाठी अत्यंत प्रतिकूल होत असल्याने दोन्ही देशांचे सैनिक हिवाळ्यात खाली सुरक्षित जागी परतत. व उन्हाळ्यात पुन्हा आपल्या जागी येत. असा करार नसला तरी दोन्ही लष्करांनी ही बाब मान्य केली होती. मात्र, पाकिस्तानने त्याचा भंग केला.

काश्मीरला लडाखशी जोडणाऱ्या या एकमेव रस्त्यावर ताबा मिळविण्याचा पाकिस्तानचा उद्देश होता. ती सामरिकदृष्ट्या मोठी आघाडी ठरली असती. त्यासाठीच पाक लष्कराचे तत्कालिन प्रमुख जनरल #मुशर्रफ यांनी सुमारे ५० हजार सैनिक घुसखोरांच्या वेषात भारतीय हद्दीत धाडले

Capt Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed (NH) (THREAD 🔗)

He was born on 1 January 1970. He was commissioned in the #Army on 14 October 1994. Captain Karnal Sher Khan emerged as the symbol of mettle and courage during the #Kargil conflict on the Line of Control. (1)

Indian Tricolour flies high with mighty Karakoram in backdrop.
This is Siachen War Memorial at Siachen Base Camp in #Ladakh.
We control entire Siachen Glacier.
We control Saltoro Ridge & its passes at far greater heights than LAC.
Indian Army is invincible in mountain warfare.

We wanted more enemy bunkers to have been there so that we could get more Pakistani chaps.
This was the spirit of Captain Vikram Batra, PVC & every proud soldier who fought in #KargilWar .
Who can defeat such an army ? No power in the world.
#KargilVijayDiwas #CourageInKargil

Blessed to be born in the freest country of the world.
Proud to be born in the oldest living civilization of the world.
Proud to be a Bharatiya.
Bharat is free because hundreds of thousands of our soldiers have guarded and are guarding our frontiers.
Happy #IndependenceDay India.

Surely every serious national security strategist understands the distinction btwn Govts Geopolitical decisions and th military's detailed scenario planning & action program. A govt can decided on basis of expected value of outcome or worst case scenarios-the latter is paralyzing

https://twitter.com/RRajagopalanJNU/status/1277500013501800449

2/ns The critical issue in China-India conflict is that,as of now (2020), #China controls the #escalatory ladder. So India's #National #Security Apparatus has to make assumptions about when and how #CCPpla will escalate, if it loses the first few steps on its escalatory ladder!

3/ns The worst case scenario for us is therefore the one in which after loosing previous escalations, #CCP China escalates to a full fledged war/attack on India, by shifting US-facing troops and highest quality equipment towards India. This has proved paralyzing for past Govts!🤔
