Experience the Courage of 1971
On the fiftieth anniversary of the 1971 Indo-Pak war, 1971: Charge Of The Gorkhas And Other S invites you to explore the incredible stories of bravery from our army, navy, and air force. This collection honors the heroes who fought valiantly for a cause larger than themselves.
Have you ever wondered why the Gorkha soldiers of 4/5 GR would charge a heavily fortified enemy post armed only with their khukris? Or what went through the mind of a young pilot, Flt Lt Mansoor Ali Khan, who, after ejecting from a burning plane, chooses to conceal his true identity? The narratives within these pages bring to life the profound dedication and sacrifices made by these soldiers.
And there's more. Picture a naval diver stealthily removing made-in-India labels from his attire before entering East Pakistan with a machine gun at the ready. Or consider the 21-year-old Sikh paratrooper learning to leap off a stool in a deserted hangar, preparing for a jump with a Packet aircraft waiting in the wings. Each story is deeply researched, showcasing extraordinary human grit and resolve.
