I am 57 years old today. I was 2 years old when my father, a fighter pilot in the Indian Air Force, flying a Gnat, laid down his life on Sep 14, 1965, during the conflict. It makes me immensely proud to hear Nitin discuss India’s victory. I was not aware of his book, but shall now purchase and read. In remembrance, with pride. Jai Hind.
It's baffling that StratNews has so less subscribers than other hyped up defense channels with questionable information. The quality is an order of magnitude better than other 'defense' channels. Keep up the good work Nitin and team, you are doing a great service to your nation.
Mostly because Indian people in general have lost the ability to tell the difference between useless shouting and calm presentation of information in a comprehensive manner. Anyway we should be thankful for the few good channels that exist.
Intelligent and well informed people have less friends because they remind people of how little they know. How can a person of my own age be so well informed, so accomplished and written books etc when i have wasted away my own life watching serials? So people want to watch other people of similar intellect but who are bombastic and rabble rousers and appeal to their emotions rather than logic
@@vve2059 it is not an outright defense channel.. It is mainly midea outlet which discusses Pakistan administration and society fault line. Also it sometimes discusses India's internal national security and social unrest and issues. After the Chinese incursion, they did couple of episodes on that too. I agree it doesn't the nuances of Pakistan and Chinese defense strategy and it's armament. It is more of a glorifying media outlet with some amount of critical information.
One oversight on my part. The unit that rapidly crossed over into Batanagar was 3 Jat NOT 4 Jat. The latter was actually Capt Saurav Kalia’s unit in Kargil
Though i have read about the war before, it is really wonderful that such videos are made. Our younger generation gets an opportunity to know about valour, victory, sacrifices of our brave armed forces. Also it gives them pride to be an Indian.
Remember it is the "GUJAR" graziers who alerted the Army be it Tanmarg or Narian. Not the Kashmiri Muslim . Till 05 aug 2019 the gujars were as suppressed as the valmikis , gurkhas, Sikhs,, bakharwals. The Kashmiri muslim of the valley ( his ancestors were Hindus ) were brought up on a fallacy that they are different to India and Pakistan. This brain washing was done by Abdullas, Bakshi Gulam Mohammed muftti and few families . Let us at least now put the facts on the table for the coming generations. I wish you would have also mentioned about the first kill by "Trevor Kellor " in his GNAT of the much touted US SABRE . HARBAKSH saved the day. JNC was found wanting.
u r right. gujar muslims alerted indian army. gujars always hated kashmiri speaking people. secondly, the brain washing was mostly done by maulans of bihar, UP, MP, kerala . abdullahs etc had almost no role in brainwashing. there were in power. radicalisation diluted their power and separatist leaders especially geelani is most powerful person in kashmir now. those in other states of india , don't any idea about mentality of kashmiri muslims
Glad that People of J&K are always with India and only the politicians like Abdullah family, Mufti family and congress dynasty don’t like J&K to be part of India. JaiHind
I'm so angry at our previous positions they have every opportunity to capture kashmir connect to the Middle East capture pakistani Punjab etc but they missed these opportunities like miss acting in salman's movies or like we miss any logic and realisim in any our movie
Hamaree yahi problem we give too much respect in 65 again we again abide by un resolution of 1947 and did not change the status quo in Kashmir, while ideally we should have gone for whole pok and Gilgit once and for all, Punjab of pakistan would not have been possible because the action would have been shown us in a bad light as Punjab borders were already internationally decided.
Let us be clear- Indian Army did not lose badly against Chinese in 1962; it is India that lost badly (i.e. due to its political leadership). Informative video. Thanks Nitin.
I was still in school in the 9th standard when we used to hear of Patton tanks going down one after another. The IAF also did well with the diminutive Gnat Fighters, better than the Sabre Jets of Pakistan. Significantly Pandit Lal Bahadur Shastri proved to be a man of organisation, rising to the occasion, than 'better educated' erudite, hyped Pandit J Nehru.
Even in 1999, it was the Bakarwal shepherds who informed the Indian army that Pakistani troops had occupied the posts on the Kargil heights. The Bakarwals are Muslim shepherds who are residents of J&K and take their sheep into the greener pastures as the climate changes. They are loyal to India.
Sir thank you so much for sharing our Indian Army's valor. Our History books in schools are a sham . Wish our history books be revived and educate us with Indian heroes rather than those mughals and British
It's so good to listen to you Nitin saab. It's really surprising how less subscriptions your channel has. Please don't change your format or the quality of contents to get more subscribers.
Similar situation we saw when the most modern fighter plane F16 was chased and was grounded by our vintage MiG21 resulting in huge face loss of both US and Pakistan. kudos to IAF Pilot Abhinandan Vartaamam🙏🙏🙏
And you forgot that it was the strong leadership of the diminutive Lal Bahadur Shastri who reposed full confidence on Indian armed forces and was gutsy to throw the Pakistanis out. After that Indira Gandhi and then Vajpayee. And now we are stuck. Or do you think we are ready to take on the Chinese. Any time now. Or sit back for the long haul. Jai Hind.
Yes Sir, My Father used to say, in Marathi, 'naak daable ki tond ughadte'( Means if you press nose, mouth opens, excellent strategy). Also, valor of Major Ranjit Dayal should be mentioned. He won the Haji Pir pass. Why we traded that, for territory in Gujrat, I dont understand. May be your book answers that question.
In this context this viewer wants to mention about Sehmaat Khan (on whose life the film "raazi" has been based upon) an Indian who hailed from Kashmir, who provided the Indian Army with the vital intelligence inputs of deployment of PNS Ghazi in 1971 war which ultimately India won!! Jai Hind....
It is less talked about, the fact that people of Jammu and Kashmir and even Ladakh have played crucial part in providing timely information and in crucial times about security threats from Pakistan and China . In India a lot of us think that people of Kashmir are traitors and support separatist movement and terrorism which is not completely true , only a few sections and regions of Jammu and Kashmir are wilfully doing it or forced to do it under the threat of their families being killed . We should not assume the worst of Kashmiri people . Their support of Indian Army and Security forces has become more and more evident in past few years and increasingly in the last year. Just look at the successful operations the Indian security forces are carrrying out and foiling the attempts of Pak backed terrorists to disrupt the life in Kashmir valley and else where in the region of Jammu and Kashmir. Local residents are providing the information about terrorist hideouts to the authorities so that Police and Army can have better knowledge and take necessary actions. Jai Hind
I think things changed after January 1990, locals throw stones at the army jawans whenever they get a chance. It will take some to change their behaviour.
@@hiteshsaxena1553 Well, you might be right there , but there was significant polarisation based on radical Religious belief of Islam which was used as a weapon during 80s and 90s which led to the Exodus of Pandits from the valley. Stone pelting is a recent event comparatively which is a first step to Terrorism and its recruitment. Separatists have done their damage which will take time to repair. The whole defensive attitude of the establishment will only hurt the Armed forces. Daily shelling of Pakistan headquarters and casualty of Paki Army personell is the cure to the narrative war in Kashmir.
"Where do we meet tomorrow morning " The 15 Tiger ( COs call sign) asked his men at the end of the sainik samellan prior to the attack " DOGRAI" they all shouted. The COs orders were very clear " if anything happens to me I shall be carried to Dograi. " Thats the stuff Desmond Hayde was made of. This tradition and spirit continues till date.
@Jabroni Macaroni Kashmir signed IOA and from that time there is no longer princ oh state of J&K but India only and Pak continuing their raid meant it was attack on India and we were defending our land.
@Jabroni Macaroni What a big failure you are ,go and have your history lessons ,not the Pak madrassa brain washed one ,but real history. The king wanted to be independent intially but pakistan attacked and he wanted indian help for which he signed IOA ,read it if you don't know what it is . So once IOA was signed Kashmir became legally part of India and Pak continued attack which from that point on became attack in India.Also where did India attacked Pak in 47, all the wars where fought in J&K area only
@Jabroni Macaroni You are proving yourself not only illetrate, but someone who doesnot have common sense,you yourself contradicts your statements as well as trying to justify your country's failure. Please go and have a good read of history and still you don't understand please ask someone who understands it .
Now more Kashmiri people are ready then 50 years back,India understand this,that's why the whole state is in curfew, unless some measures are taken urgently Kashmir will be liberated by local with the help of Pakistan,China, and Afghanistan.
when our troops reached outskrits of lahore , pakistan army left with only 4 %of ammuntion ,india should have pushed that day, other reason why there tanks failed because the mind game that our officers played
India has neither been able to recapture the POK and Aksai Chin not has it ever made any real attempt to do so. India has also failed Tibet and failed to secure its eastern border. Kailash Manasarovar remains under foreign occupation. All the Indian politicians do is push the problem to the next generation to resolve. Except for Bangladesh and merger of Sikkim state and to some extent Siachen , all under PM Indira Gandhi, India has little to gloat about. PM Lal Bahadur Shastri failed India by handing over the territories that Indian Army won. Indian leadership has failed to recapture and recover a single square inch of lost territory all these years. So .. let's not celebrate others failures ...Instead India, needs to focus on its own failures and evaluate its leadership options.
ur channel is good and intersesting. but u r wrong aabout kashmir nthose who r from not kashmir don't have full knowledge of . nowadays ( after successful radicalisation by mullahs, maulanaa of UP, bihar)all most all say above 90% kashmiri language speaking muslims are anti india. those living near LOC , mostly non kashmiri speaking muslims are neutral because of their hatred towards kashmiri speaking people

I was born a few months before the war in 1965. I am so proud of the Indian army. Insights given by Nitin fills me with patriotic fervor. Jai Hind.
The biggest mistake was to withdraw from near Lahoe. Why didn't the Army capture Lahore and in return exchange POK for Lahore?
One oversight on my part. The unit that rapidly crossed over into Batanagar was 3 Jat NOT 4 Jat. The latter was actually Capt Saurav Kalia’s unit in Kargil
You should pin this comment Start News Global
Hello nitin
Great anecdote by Capt. Raghu Raman in one of his talks about the capturing of Dograi by 3 Jat!!
In the crowd of abusive news channels, it's soothing to watch you in this platform Nitin. Thank you.
You are a jems of india, I love listening your story & report,
I've read your book its a brilliant read and helped me get out of the dejected mindset after my SSB.
Though i have read about the war before, it is really wonderful that such videos are made. Our younger generation gets an opportunity to know about valour, victory, sacrifices of our brave armed forces. Also it gives them pride to be an Indian.

Many Thanks for doing this Mr Gokhale, Much Appreciated from Canada!! Salute!!!
Quality content by Stratnews Global.
Best Channel for Foreign Policy Discussion, Defence Strategy. Its deserve at least 1M Subs.
This shows Mohammedien a Kashmiri loved India and loyalties were with India . The separatist now in Kashmir don't belong to Kashmir
Great Clarity Nikhil...congrats
He is one of the finest Orator of India and has got great persuasive power. Jai Siya Ram
Hats off Ji as usual
#JaiHind Nitin Ji
Who can forget the Patton tank delhi ko breakfast and this dialogue
Good information. Really highlighted the day 5-Aug with J&K and India. Important indeed a day of happening.
Enjoyed the store of valors and the loyalty of the people of Our India even in those early days.
Glad that People of J&K are always with India and only the politicians like Abdullah family, Mufti family and congress dynasty don’t like J&K to be part of India. JaiHind
I'm so angry at our previous positions they have every opportunity to capture kashmir connect to the Middle East capture pakistani Punjab etc but they missed these opportunities like miss acting in salman's movies or like we miss any logic and realisim in any our movie
Hamaree yahi problem we give too much respect in 65 again we again abide by un resolution of 1947 and did not change the status quo in Kashmir, while ideally we should have gone for whole pok and Gilgit once and for all, Punjab of pakistan would not have been possible because the action would have been shown us in a bad light as Punjab borders were already internationally decided.
Dear Nitin ji,Nicely narrated flashback story abt the valor of our army Kudos to you.jai hind

Great information sir, thank you!

Very informative Mr.Nitin.
The US never met a buck it didn't like.
And you forgot that it was the strong leadership of the diminutive Lal Bahadur Shastri who reposed full confidence on Indian armed forces and was gutsy to throw the Pakistanis out.

Excellent sir. Your way of explanation is excellent.
a really good informative episode!! thanks
Valuable info sir..
Sir...plz can you explain how war become stalemate between two armies in 1947 -48 war between India and Pakistan.
Awesome sir
Please upload more.. want to hear more from you.👍

One swallow does not make a summer. I do not disregard her contribution.
Now Indian Airforce is not fully practiced with Hal Tejas and Rafales
Awesome
another ace video thanks
The 1965 Battle was won by indian army but lost by India's politicians at at the negotiation table😣
Pls make a video special group r&aw and its operations.

3 Jat battalion commanded by lt col Desmond E hayde and not 4 Jat battalion crossed the Ichhogil canal and withdrew under intense enemy fire....
"Where do we meet tomorrow morning " The 15 Tiger ( COs call sign) asked his men at the end of the sainik samellan prior to the attack

Very informative!
Excellent report. 1965 was it the 1st war with pakistan? Or 2nd.
2nd . 47-48, 65 ,71 and 99 where the wars intiated by Pak and they never learn anything as they are not tired of lossing
@Jabroni Macaroni Kashmir signed IOA and from that time there is no longer princ oh state of J&K but India only and Pak continuing their raid meant it was attack on India and we were defending our land.

Can you post a true account about operation swift retort? Not the Indian story not the Pakistani story. The truth.
