All my 3 uncles fought in Bangladesh 🇧🇩 war of 1971
I really liked today's CTC. SG is like having an uncle who has stories to tell about everything. Delightful and informative!
My maternal uncle and father in law were there in Nanda Devi operation
"Indian Army will always give you food." I can personally attest to it. I was shooting a small movie for Raid The Himalaya moto rally back in 2017. And one day I was in Rangdum. I and my team were dropped near a small army post near Rangdum Gonpa at around 4 am. Pitch Dark. Temp - 4 degrees. In one hour some soldiers came out of their camps and met us and offered us to come inside. We went Inside and saw that in the sentry post two soldiers were warming their hands on a small gas/electric (can't remember) stove and they immediately stood up and offered us to warm our hands. And as the sun came up they cooked delicious pooris and we ate them with Jam. Sadly we had to leave but they insisted that we stay till lunch. Such a memorable day! ❤️
Hard to accept anyone else doing CTC. Your one liners and easy references using movies makes a fun listen.
I really love when SG tells story from his personal experiences. I suggest him to start a new initiative where he tells his own experiences. It would be very interesting to watch them and would also give us bts of journalist life.
I am from Odisha and I didn't know about this story of Biju Patnaik. Thanks Shekhar Ji will wait eagerly for the full story on Operation Himalayas.
Gyadu Wangdu, the commander of one of the companies operating in Chitagong, was died of machine fire after he tried to lead his men to break a stalemate around a hill occupied by a group of Mizo rebels. This account was verified in a book(In Tibetan Language) written by a Tibetan Bangladesh veteran named Jampa Kalden who was a political leader of the company.
My late father was one of the Tibetan guerillas who fought with the bloodthirsty CCP in Tibet, I miss you dad. God bless Tibet and all those countries who love Tibet.
As an Odia myself, the fact that even Odias aren't aware of the depths of the personality of Biju Pattnaik is a tragedy.
What keeps SG apart from Others...is his experience..love to hear those beautiful short stories..
Tibet is more Indian than Chinese.
So many interesting events of contemporary India, still all we get served is useless bollywood masala
Company Leader Tenzin died in Combat, dying of a mine blast is part of combat activities.
We still have so much to know about our nation and its thrilling secrets . Makes me a bit proud . Thanks for this CTC
Tibetans have lived in India for decades as refugees. And yet this microscopic community has contributed immensely in the interest of India and nation-building. Unfortunately, the infamous Citizenship Amendment Act does not mention a single word for the Tibetans living in India. Tibetan refugees sacrificing their lives for the honour of India have been denied citizenship rights and wider recognition, while waves of land-hungry illegal immigrants are welcomed with open arms. India's foreign and homeland policies are hopeless.
My grandfather was involved in training the Tibetan special forces when they were first formed... I only learnt of this when we visited Clement Town in 2010...
Every 2 minutes guptaji is recommending a book
How proud I feel to learn that my father and my brother in law's uncle were amongst the brave hearts.
