There is nothing in this report that has not been made public earlier. Perhaps the only heartening item is that this report was chaired at the highest level (Gen. Vij) and has been widely disseminated among the higher-ups. I would not state that SF are being misused. They are better equipped now to ...

Has anybody read 'Buddhas Warriors' by Mikel Dunham ? I glanced through it while browsing at B&N. Seems interesting and detailed with photos. Its the story of Tibet's resistance during the Chinese invasion. The author interviewed the actual fighters who are now living in India and Nepal. This bo...

Just came across a gem of a book. Possibly the best historical war fiction I've read on the Indian army. Its "Legion of the Brave" by DP Ramachndran ('DPR'). DPR is an ex-cavalry officer who saw action in the '71 war on the Eastern Front. He mentions in the book that he always wanted to wr...

Not sure if Afghanistan is the best model to follow for India's Cold Start Strategy. Deploying special forces teams may be applicable to only the LoC and POK. The terrain is suitable for small teams - less population and plenty of hills and valleys to hide. Access roads are few and a small team of c...

Can anybody with access post the AWST Oct 18th issue here - the article referencing Col Handy ?

Babui

That's a great first hand account of the Battle for Khalubar Top. One for the books - needs to be saved and incorporated into BR. Loved this para "So they looked at each other and I could read the look in their eyes, it said, 'Saab ne hukum diya hai toh gaali dena hi padega. They looked around ...

GD - story's getting very interesting. Can't wait for the next installment. Maybe start with newsrpts appearing in Indian mainstream media of reports coming in that dredging operations by Chinese engineers are starting to take place in Chittagong harbor to bring in the heavy stuff.....or B'Deshi gen...

In case anybody is wondering - the total cost of the heart surgery and stay in hospital (approx 11 days) was Rs 173,913.
My Dad had to stay a couple of extra days because of postponement of surgery.

I figured that there would be problems at Apollo Hosp, Madras before discharge. The following email is from my sister: "...as usual we were harassed during discharge too. we were told he would be discharged at 11 am. he reached home at 6 pm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there were billing problems galore. hi...

Raj - thanks for your good wishes. My father's op went well and he is recovering in ICU. I had a long talk with my sister and my aunt whose father underwent the same op in the same hosp a year ago. The consensus opinion is that the skill of the heart bypass team at Apollo Hosp, Madras is undeniable....

Babui

A few days ago, my father was admitted to Apollo Hosp, Madras for a heart bypass. We admitted him there on the knowledge that it is one of the best hospitals in India. We signed a contract with them and agreed to pay a certain sum of money. The contract was kind of vague but basically said that, for...

Any historical instances of armies dominating the front (or achieving vistory) simply because they got there earlier than the other side? I can think of only the Germans in WWI ("Shieffen Plan (sp?)") who reached the gates of Paris. [Added later] - One more is the Egyptians in the '73 Arab...

YIP - allus a pleasure to read your analysis. The only quibble I have is that the first BRF post is at T+6

More likely, Shiv will be on the job at T+0.02

This is the area of Matinuddin's paper that needs to be speculated on - "By moving to forward positions and carrying out military exercise close to the border the Indian armed forces revealed their operational plans to some extent. Strategic and tactical surprise was lost as the deployment was ...

The other bk I would recommend is Gaurav Sawant's "Dateline Kargil". It is a journalistic account and should not be read for historical accuracy. However, it is highly readable and gives great detail - at unit level - on how the IA lives and fights. Harinder Baweja and Shrinjoy Choudhury's...

Correct me if I'm wrong but RMA (for infantry) can be boiled down to the following: (1) the ability to fight at night (2) ability to see the enemy before he sees you (3) ability to bring own firepower down on the enemy with exactness and (4) ability to communicate or 'know' the position of own force...
