“Fly some planes , move some trucks” – this will deter a nation from bi-frontal assault – this was one of the observations of a foreign nation on India – Alas , history had other plans with a certitude ! 1965 & 1967 – broadly defined a nation of steel-worthy resolve ,will , and courage! These years heralded the path for a nation to remain steadfast in all adversities ! A nation of thousand years of civilization stood strong , defying logics and reckonings! Bagel of generals resounds the adage of valor in mighty Himalayas till date , inspires a whole nation to its length and breadth! ’65 and ’67 act as a deterrence for enemy forces for centuries to come & sing the song of spine and splendor ! And ’71 was the culmination of bravery and dauntlessness augured with political will!
– an absolute read here from Probal Dasgupta , moves like a thriller , the book is “1967 – India’s forgotten victory”
