This book deals with the role of the Corps of Signals of the Indian Army during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. Based on their personal experiences, excellent accounts have been written by two Signals officers, Major General KK Tewari and Brigadier Lakshman Singh. However these cover mainly the operations in the Kameng Frontier Division of NEFA. The operations in the Walong Sector and Ladakh do not form part of their narratives. The official history of the Corps of Signals also does not cover these operations. This book aims to fill this gap and acquaint the public and the present generation of signallers with the achievements of their forebears, who had worked under trying circumstances to provide communications in 1962, many of them sacrificing their lives.
Did you know that there exists a system of ‘reservation’ for promotion in the officers' cadre in the Indian Army? What if I tell you that merit is compromised for petty regimental gains and national security is being diluted by denying promotion to competent army officers? For the first time, A Soldier Speaks not only for himself but he speaks to ensure the safety of our borders and for improving the existing promotion structure of the Indian Army. The nation must know what transpires in the olive green part of the prestigious South Block, behind closed doors! Does politicization of the Indian Army help national security or is it counter-productive and diluting the efficiency and professionalism of the most elite organization our country is proud of? Is it time to look through a magnifying glass to figure out, what is ailing the Indian Army today?
This book offers an important reinterpretation of major themes of sovereignty, authority and social reform in colonial South Asian history. Focusing on the British prohibition of sati in 1829, the author shows how the debates that preceded this legislation have effectively set the terms of post-colonial debates about sati, as well as more generally defining the parameters of British involvement in Indian social and religious issues.
