Bipin

The Man Behind the Uniform

By: Rachna Bisht Rawat

On the morning of 8 December 2021, India's Chief of Defence Staff, General Bipin Rawat, and his wife, Madhulika, said goodbye to their daughter, Tarini, and dogs, and left their Delhi home to board a flight for Sulur in Tamil Nadu. Around 11.48 a.m., they boarded an Mi-17 V5 helicopter that took off from Sulur to Wellington, where Gen. Rawat was to deliver a lecture at the Defence Services Staff College. Just a few minutes away from its destination, the chopper crashed, and all fourteen passengers onboard eventually perished. It was a sudden and shocking end to the life of a man who had risen like a meteor in the defence forces. Bipin: The Man behind the Uniform is the story of the NDA cadet who was relegated in the third term for not being able to do a mandatory jump into the swimming pool; of the young Second Lieutenant who was tricked into losing his ID card at the Amritsar railway station by a 5/11 Gorkha Rifles officer posing as his sahayak; of the Major with a leg in plaster who was carried up to his company post on the Pakistan border because he insisted on joining his men for Dusshera celebrations under direct enemy observation; of the Army Chief who decided India would retaliate immediately and openly to every act of cross-border terrorism; of the Chief of Defence Staff who was happiest dancing the jhamre with his Gorkha troops. Written by bestselling author Rachna Bisht Rawat and featuring in-depth interviews with Bipin Rawat's friends, family members and comrades, this book is a befitting tribute to one of India's greatest and most controversial Generals.

Stories from the Battlefield (Box Set)

By: Rachna Bisht Rawat

1965: Stories from the Second Indo-Pakistan War On 1 September 1965, Pakistan invaded the Chamb district in Jammu and Kashmir, triggering a series of tank battles, operations and counter-operations. It was only the bravery and well-executed strategic decisions of the soldiers of the Indian Army that countered the very real threat of losing Kashmir to Pakistan. Recounting the battles fought by five different regiments, the narrative reconstructs the events of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan war, outlining details never revealed before, and remembers its unsung heroes. Shoot, Dive, Fly: Stories of Grit and Adventure from the Indian Army SHOOT, DIVE, FLY aims to introduce teenagers to the armed forces and tell them about the perils-the rigours and the challenges-and perks-the thrill and the adventure-of a career in uniform. Ballroom dancing, flying fighter planes, detonating bombs, skinning and eating snakes in times of dire need, and everything else in between-there's nothing our officers can't do!. Read twenty-one nail-biting stories of daring. Hear from some amazing men and women about what the forces have taught them-and decide if the olivegreen uniform is what you want to wear too. The Brave: Param Vir Chakra Stories Twenty-one riveting stories about how India's highest military honor was won.

1971 Yuddha Mein Gorkhaon Ki Sahasik Kahaniyan (Hindi Translation of 1971: Charge of The Gorkhas and other Stories)

By: Rachna Bisht Rawat

4/5 जी.आर. के गोरखा सैनिक अपने हाथों में सिर्फ खुली खुखरी लेकर भारी सुरक्षावाली दुश्मन की चौकी पर हमला क्यों करते हैं? क्या पाकिस्तान को उस युवा पायलट की असली पहचान का पता चल गया है, जो जलते हुए विमान से बाहर निकलने के बाद खुद को फ्लाइट लेफ्टिनेंट मंसूर अली खान कहता है? उस नौसैनिक गोताखोर के साथ क्या होता है, जो अपने कपड़ों से 'मेड इन इंडिया' के लेबल को काटकर हटाता है और अपने कंधे पर मशीनगन लटकाए पूर्वी पाकिस्तान में प्रवेश कर जाता है? एक इक्कीस वर्षीय सिख पैराट्रूपर को दमदम हवाई अड्डे पर एक सुनसान हैंगर में स्टूल से कूदना क्यों सिखाया जा रहा है, जहाँ पास में ही एक 'पैकेट विमान' इंतजार कर रहा है? 1971 के भारत-पाक युद्ध की थलसेना, नौसेना और वायुसेना के वीरों की कहानियों के माध्यम से उन युद्धक्षेत्रों का स्मरण फिर से करें, जहाँ वे एक ऐसे उद्देश्य के लिए लड़े, जो उनके लिए अपने प्राणों से भी अधिक महत्त्व रखता था।
