Grandpa's Selection Outstanding Victories of the Indian Army 1947-1971

The present volume of Grandpa’s Selection – Outstanding Victories of The Indian Army (1947 to 1971) by Col. Bhaskar Sarkar is an apt collection of inspirational stories of the Indian army drawn from a vast canvas covering the period from 1947 to 1971. These stories have captured the essence of the background fairly detailed execution of battle plans and analysis leading to the outcome of each battle. These have been interspersed with inspirational accounts of individual valour and courage providing to the reader a reminder of the indomitable spirit and saga of the sacrifice of the Indian army. Col. Bhaskar in his book has done complete justice to the unfolding of events of the times besides paying a befitting tribute to the indomitable spirit and professionalism of the Indian army.I recommend this book as a must-read for all young and budding leaders of the future and accordingly be made available in all our unit libraries regimental and training institutions and our officers’ academies. I am also sanguine that this will prove as a motivational reading for all students of military history.Lt. Gen. (Retd.) MMS Rai PVSM AVSM VSM Former Vice Chief of Army Staff
