In 1999, as the #Kargil conflict started, Capt Kenguruse was a junior commander with 2nd Battalion The #RajputanaRifles. For his determination and prowess, he was made the lead commander of the #GhatakPlatoon of his unit.
On 28 June night, Capt. Kenguruse’s platoon was given the responsibility of taking out a strategic machine gun post held by the enemy on a cliff face, the Black Rock. Heavy gun fire from this position had been hindering the battalion’s progress in the sector for days.

He wanted to appoint a British officer as C-in-C of the Indian Army as he thinks that “we do not have a capable and experienced Army Man in our Country”. To this, an Indian army officer refusing to be a stooge darted a remark which changed the history.
He said
Sir, I have a point….You see Sir, we don’t have a man with enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn’t we appoint someone from Britain as the first PM of India?”
This officer was then offered the same post.
