  • Four Tibetan soldiers of the Special Frontier Forces (SFF) sacrificed their lives, and six soldiers bDly wounded. No mention of their contribution until today in the Indian narratives. SFF soldiers played a pivotal role in climbing Tiger Hill and securing the strategic position in the battle.
  • Till today Pakistan has not revealed how many of their soldiers died in the misadventure. The generally accepted theory (most probably true) is that they deployed their Northern Light Infantry and in that process the entire NLI was wiped out.

    Sir With due respect - now that India observes Vijay diwas - victory in Kargil . I do seriously feel Kargil contest was a grave lapse of Indian army intelligence. But no one wants to talk about it rather than brushing under the carpet . Would be happy to be enlightened by contributors .
  • Pakistan is lucky to have honest and selfless politicians and military people who love the country. They have safely invested Pakistani money in Papa John's pizza franchise, real estate in London, Canada, Dubai, and an island near Australia. These investments have made sure that Pakistani people don't waste their money on luxury items such as wheat flour, vegetables, electricity, clothing, and education.
  • Our young Jawans and our equally young JCOs, our Martyrs, showed their "JOSH" and made that supreme sacrifice to throw the enemy out, lock, stock and barrel , while our General Sahiban took their own time to wake up ! Salutes to our forces !.. However, it is time that this Holy Cow status of the forces is given a go by ! That Colossal Military Slip in the Kashmir Valley in 1989-90 has not been explained by our General Sahiban which cost the country hugely and we the indigenous and original inhabitants of Kashmir, Kashmiri Hindu Pundits, lost our birth land, our cultural heritages , our civilisational moorings and our identity along with our beautiful mother tongue and the indigenous script Sharda !.. 😭😭😭

    Shekhar is a legend when it comes to disseminating tales of our armed forces and military conflicts. He has a knack of narration and highlighting key characters & events that make listening to him a very pleasant learning experience.
  • @PatSen
    That was brilliant, Shekhar! Perhaps you’ll do something similar about NathuLa and ChoLa in September? We don’t get to see much about that one. Do consider it 🙏🏽🙂
  • @sudiptodas1313

    Let’s make ourselves better than all our enemies. Pakistani army is already destroying Pakistan. For the martyrs, we owe you everything.
  • @giridharan6091
    Despite all that Mr.Sekar,the K.Subramanyam report is still a secret. Even the Henderson-Brooke report is a secret. How can the common man trust the govt?
  • Pakistan was created to be a permanent thorn in India's side by western countries mainly UK and USAas a united and powerful country was not in their strategic interests.This role the Pakistanis have fulfilled notwithstanding the cost to their country.as Pakistanis know that their masters will continue to fund their country indefinitely.
  • @user-xz4sz9em9o
    The enemy has been repeatedly defeated since 47 & is now bankrupt, broke & economically ruined.
  • @rajivnair3455
    Kargil War was also the start of India US Friendship! Pakistanis helped India in ways they never imagined! 😂😅
  • @pvohra
    Is it just me, or does anyone find similarities ( not in specifics bit in principle) between Pakistan's Kargil Operation and India's foreward policy vis a vis China?
  • WE SALUTE OUR MILITARY WHO PROTECT US !!🇮🇳🇮🇳👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 To cut your long story short..pakistani muslims and that too from punjab UNKA DIMAAG GADDE SE BHI KAM HAI and that applies even today !!!😄
