Those who survived came back with their heads held high not only for what their compatriots did but also for their own contributions towards achieving the objective. This battle was doomed for failure from the beginning. The book written in three parts, is a narration of the successful raids on the enemies supply points, before the main battle. A detailed account of the main battle which was thrust on the battalion to fight, as per the orders from the Commanders who rejected the request for time to patrol the area The narrative dwells on low morale of the battalion with the loss of compatriots and the role of the Commanding Officer (CO) to restore the confidence. Finally, the rare decision to meet with the Army Commander, against the advice of his Commanders, to restore the dignity and honour without sacrificing any values. The Book would be of tremendous interest to not only the soldiers who face such odds, but to all interested readers for a better understanding of the life of a soldier especially on the borders.

Download or read book India s Wars Since Independence The Liberation Of Bangladesh written by Maj Gen Sukhwant Singh and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on 1981 with total page 989 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maj Gen Sukhwant Singh, offers a strategic analysis of the evolution of the Indian Army and the various wars fought by the Indian Defence Forces since independence of the country. He lists the causes and effects of the Indo-China War of 1962; he also talks exclusively about the formation of Bangladesh and the contribution made by the Indian Army in that regard; he informs the reader about the 1965 war with Pakistan and analyses its repercussions; and most importantly, he highlights the primal points that the Army has to be aware of in the future. This book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the full-length study of the campaign that led to the creation of Bangladesh in 1971. Written authoritatively with the inside knowledge of the developments, both in the field and at the Army Headquarters, it makes a professional appraisal of leadership, strategy and tactics. The second part of the study of independent India at war cuts a broad swatch including the hostilities on the western border with Pakistan in the 1971 war. It assesses military strategy in relation to the previous wars with Pakistan and China, describes the evolution of the three wings of the defence services from the time of their inception, evaluates their various roles in 1971, and pinpoints the weaknesses inherent in the present set-up in relation to the functions the services are called upon to fulfill to ensure the protection of national interest. In the third and final part on India’s wars since independence, a frank appraisal of the lessons that they teach and the questions that they raise in relation to the problem of building a credible and meaningful defence system for the country are dealt with.
Download or read book POW 1971 a Soldier s Account of the Heroic Battle of Daruchhian written by Major General Vijay Singh and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description The war with Pakistan in December 1971 lasted barely two weeks. It concluded on 16 December with a victory for India and the formation of Bangladesh. But there is a lesser known side to this epic military confrontation-that of the western front, namely Jammu and Kashmir. While many contests on this side of India's border were won, some battles were illfated. The heroic battle at Daruchhian in the Poonch Sector was one of them. A cone-shaped feature, approximately 1,000 metres in height, Daruchhian was of great tactical significance. The fierce clash on its slopes on the night of 13 December, however, could not ensure its capture. Many Indian soldiers were martyred, and the survivors taken prisoner, including Brigadier (then Major) Hamir Singh, VrC. Heavily injured in battle, he underwent a prolonged recovery at the Command Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, followed by an internment at the POW camp in Lyallpur. Hamir Singh's eyewitness account, recorded by the author, his son Maj Gen Vijay Singh, narrates in riveting detail what took place on that fateful night and what followed. From battle plans that were too perfect to succeed, to soldiers who didn't give up, enemies who honoured each others' professionalism, Pakistanis nostalgic about pre-Partition India, and the shared sorrow and joy that dissolve boundaries of nation and religion, POW 1971 gives us a view of war, valour and humanity that is as heart-wrenching as it is moving.
