- On the 39th anniversary of Operation Meghdoot which was launched by Indian Army to take control of the world’s highest battlefield Siachen Glacier, we bring to you a special episode on the story of how our defence forces captured the important peaks of Siachen Glacier against all odds in 1984. In an informative conversation with Smita Prakash, Lt Gen Sanjay Kulkarni (Retd.) who as a 28-year-old captain in April 1984 was among the first to be heli-dropped on the Lolofond Glacier recalls the operation and stories on how they pre-empted Operation Ababeel by Pakistani Army.
Correction:
1:13:38-1:13:43 - The image is of Gopalaswami Parthasarathy, who served as Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan (1999-2000), in place of Gopalaswami Parthasarathy who was Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan between (1962-65). (The mistake is truly regrettable)

Just a suggestion... never interrupt a speaker in the middle of a talk. That is rude and bad manners, most importantlyquestions your upbringing. Please be respectful. Atiti devo bhava🙏
Even though I had read the whole operation, listening to Gen Kulkarni narrate it is a sheer pleasure. Thx for the service sir
WHAT A MAN WHAT AN OFFICER. SO HUMBLE AND DOWN TO EARTH. HATS OFF TO OUR ARMY. JAI HIND RAM RAM TO YOU SIR MM
Smitha ji,
Thank you so much!
This Officer gave so much information. All our defense ministers should listen to this.
Peace mountain is absolutely NO!
Very very interesting. MALAYSIAN. thank you
What a Life General!! An absolute honour to listen to such a Man ❤
The best 2+ hours of my life, listening to this great man.
He was damn excited sharing the stories like it all occurred yesterday and didn't inhibited from clearing out facts which could have remain unknown.

Absolutely love your podcasts , love learning about our country and Thanku for asking your guests to explain for overseas listeners instead of calling us NRI the word I hate with passion . No matter if we live abroad but when India does well we are very much proud of our India and if something bad happens our heart hurts the same if not more . They call us foreigners here and we go back to India they call us foreigners there too or NRI like we don’t belong to any country , it hurts a lot in my case anyway because I love India as much as anyone else . 🙏🏽🇮🇳🇮🇳
Very nice interview. I having trained troops in HAWS for Siachin induction in Dec1983, listened to this with great interest.
Only one suggestion, had it been explained with a map at some point in time to explain various names of passes and glaciers would have made it more easy to understand for those who had no exposure to Siachin
First and Foremost really thankful to You Mam for doing this episode with Lt. Gen. Kulkarni Sir… this was super educational… and really thankful to Kulkarni sir for his outstanding service….
Deep Respect 🫡
Thank You Sir and a big salute to all those who are serving in the forces and protecting our land and our lives. Thank you once again.
Please invite Lt Gen Mohinder Puri, who recaptured Kargil heights.
I admire Smitha maam for her in-depth knowledge on the matter being discussed. Salute Kulkarnisaab for ur bravado! So blessed v r thx to our Army! Jai hind
Best thing was 2:06:08❤❤❤❤ love the reaction of Smitha ji and Lt.Gen Kulkarni sahab
What a fantastic podcast, hats off to all Army officers and jawans who risked their lives to defend our country.
This podcast should be aired again and again until it is ingrained in minds of every Indian, young or old.
I am absolutely proud and feel privileged to be born in a country which has produced such countless heroes.
Jai Hind sir..
My salute to those who guard our borders on ice capped mountains. Loved this pod cast a lot. Jai hind

Podcast idea for independence day, round table of army officers, generals
Great interview.
One suggestion....don't break guest's chain of thought and cause interruption in the stories that are so gripping for viewers
It's called 'clash of the ego'!
AGREED👍
@@mikeagate ego nahi bhai, its excitement and explaining the viewers the time line.
1. Indeed thoroughly engrossing and thrilling!! Salute to the Lt. Gen!!! Such a down to earth and humble person. Indeed feel proud that our Armed Forces have such men ( and women) ! 2. And no words of praise is enough for Smita!!! Jai Hind! Jai Bharat!
Gen Kulkarni❤
Whenever you have events like this concerning geographical details, it would be better to insert maps, photos to relate to what the speaker is talking about.
Had an opportunity to visit the area, really remote and difficult region to protect and oversee for all the time.
what a true patriot. I had goose bumps listening to him. I wish our politicians and their goons listen to him and understand what it means to serve the country
Thank you ani team for such quality podcasts with such lineup of guests you provide to us viewers

General Kulkarni, Thanks for your service Sir !
Aisa weather dekhna hai to sia chin to ja nahin sakte canada aa jao. Snow storm, blizzard, -30 kya hota hai. Saskatchewan jahaan main rehta hun. Winter main. Salute a huge salute to these soldiers from my side. I can understand what they r taking about. Life is hell. N death is a matter of minutes.
Really Great 🎉🎉. Pls call General DP Pandey. He was corps commander of chinar corps.
Excellent interview. Gen. Kulkarni is an inspiration.
Always equipment for the Indian army comes last minute at critical moments: when will New Delhi learn?
When bureaucrats or IAS babus will be kicked out from MoD
Спасибо большое 💞
Wow! What an interview!
Brillant convo!!
Great general ...thousands of salutes to you Sir...jai Hind.
nice conversation. God bless General and all our forces.
Love our brave hearts. Vande mataram. Politicians must listen to this carefully. Die for your nation if you must.
Fantastic chat.Huge kudos to Smitha.Prakash. You are a blessing . Your homework shows well, when you do point some interesting facts. Wish Smitha Prakash helps in introducing such rate topics of history in school texts too. KEEP. IT GOING.
So proud to have served in his unit.
Jai Hind, Sir.
The picture of G Pathsarthy was a retd. Captain of the Indian Army turned a diplomat the one Lt. Gen. Kulkarni is talking about is also G Pathsarthy but the Journalist and later served also as the Permanent Representative of India to the United Nations
All your programs range between very good and brilliant. Always informative, thought provoking, educative and entertaining. This one is particularly stimulating. Salute To Gen. Kulkarni, you and your team.
राम राम। जय हिंद 🙏
Great podcast. Love these army podcasts. 👏 on a lighter note, great that you and your team got rid of that ugly long table. Just one suggestion if I may - there were lot of points/nj.../ridge line/ranges/areas discussed, it would be great if you could also show a little map pointing these as you are discussing.
Please another pod with dr anand
Please please please
Smita and colleage … please don’t repeatedly interfere guests while explaining.. better if you ask questions once he complete. Take as feedback
Madam subramanian swami or vikram sood ko bhi bulaiye pls 🙏🙏

Such a wonderful conversation ! Hats off !
Loved the conversation. Jai Hind
Wonderful interview! So informative and amazing news!
Great talk
We may not have a lot of money(at least back then) and great technology but we have amazing men and women who have built our country one brick at a time. If we can only take one thing away, it is “don’t trust the country to the immediate north west”. They are not even worthy of being called a neighbor.
Very nice podcast.....thank you ANI
He is an OG❤
Amazing conversation
Incredible! Thanks sir. Thanks also to the interviewers...
One of smita’s best podcast … great job …
I just saw this. Hat's off to you Smitha.
Lot of Respect Sir
Smitha ma'am 👏👏👏
Mesmerizing
Smitha, How about inviting Manoj Muntashir. He seems to be inspiring as a personality and speaks well too
Jai Hind
Bharat Mata ki Jai
