Wars change your psyche , results reflect your demeanor , and the garb you carry oomph your enemies – the years of 1962 , 1965 , 1967 and 1971 augurs certainty to this observation ! Tears & Triumphs adorn story of India in post colonial world – these 4 distinctive years succinctly defined what garb we as a nation would show to the world for decades to come !
1962, not a year to remember , for obvious reasons ! Though the scar was short lived , and a nation took just 3 years , come 1965 , a nation stood up resembling a phoenix reverberating the Himalayas on two fronts with a crescendo of conquest !
Amalgamation of indecisiveness , mismanagement, and indifferences for a response to a well thought assault was weaning to the morale , the year was 1962 ! Destiny & time tease you , test who you are , who you are as a bunch ! Even in the ostensible ambivalence of politics , diplomacy , and a dystopic condition could not deter an army which signified valor and sacrifice !
– a good read here by Shiv Kunal Verma , the book is :”1962 – the war that wasn’t ” (this is a ~400 pager on kindle) !
