It was truly an intense and engaging afternoon at #MlrLitFest2023 today with Shiv Aroor as we discussed his tryst with our Fauj and telling its tales that truly needed to be told with #IndiasMostFearless .
Always haunted by this image of Sushila Ji, mother of Major Mohit Sharma, Ashoka Chakra, opening โIndiaโs Most Fearless 2โ in 2019 to see our account of her sonโs life & final special forces mission.
Mohit turns 46 today.
He will never be forgotten ๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ณ

Remember Lance Naik Hanumanthappa Koppad? On this day 8 yrs ago, he breathed his last. He had spent the previous 6 days miraculously surviving under 30ft of glacier ice in Siachen after an avalanche.
May we never forget him & the men of 19 Madras. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฅ๐

Fearless, dildaar & missed beyond measure by his family and unit ๐
Today is the fifth anniversary of the final mission of Lance Naik Sandeep Singh, Shaurya Chakra, of the Armyโs 4 Para Special Forces.

Huge honour to meet Mrs Santoshi, wife of Col Santosh Babu, Maha Vir Chakra, who was killed in action leading his unit, the 16 Bihar, in the Galwan Valley on this day 3 years ago against a much larger Chinese attack force. The *only* firsthand account is in #IndiasMostFearless 3.
Could you identify the legend????๐ฎ๐ณ
#IndiasMostFearless
Let's see who can identify the real hero!!
Remembering Major Vibhuti Shankar Dhoundiyal, Shaurya Chakra on what would have been his 36th birthday. ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ฅ #IndiasMostFearless
On this day 7 years ago, Major Rishiโs face was blown off during a terror encounter in Tral, J&K. Lovingly called โKhan Sahibโ by locals, he wishes he could go back and serve again. #IndiasMostFearless
