Meet Subedar Doleshwar Subba, a brave Junior Commissioned Officer of the Indian Army’s elite 2 Para Special Forces.
On 11 April 2025, he showed exceptional courage during a search and tracking operation in the dense forests of Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir.
The area was difficult, the forest was thick, and the terrorists were trying to escape through the rugged terrain.
During the operation, Subedar Doleshwar Subba spotted two terrorists attempting to cross a nala.
He quickly understood the situation and repositioned his squad to block their escape route.
The terrorists realised they were trapped and opened heavy fire on the team.
Even under fire, Subedar Doleshwar Subba remained calm and led his men with great control.
He directed accurate counter-fire and wounded one of the terrorists.
Then, with complete disregard for his own safety, he exposed his position to get a clear line of sight on the second terrorist.
With courage, precision, and strong combat skill, he neutralised the terrorist on the spot.
His brave action helped the team eliminate two terrorists during the high-risk operation.
For his unique valour, extraordinary courage, and excellent combat skill, he was awarded the Kirti Chakra.
The Kirti Chakra is India’s second-highest peacetime gallantry award.
Subedar Doleshwar Subba hails from Darjeeling district in the Gorkha hills region.
His journey from the hills of Darjeeling to the elite ranks of 2 Para SF is a proud example of service, bravery, and dedication.
His story is an inspiration for every defence aspirant and every young Indian who dreams of wearing the uniform.
Salute to Subedar Doleshwar Subba for his courage, leadership, and selfless devotion to duty.
Jai Hind.

🚨The images from Rawalakot are devastating.
Blood-stained hospital beds, wounded civilians and families praying outside emergency wards—this is the price ordinary people are paying for daring to raise their voices.
When a government answers public anger with bullets instead of accountability, it loses the moral right to call it "law and order." These are not enemy combatants. They are your own people.
Every injured civilian in these hospital wards is a stark reminder of a state that seems more willing to silence dissent than listen to it. The world should not look away from this suffering. #Rawalakot #PoJK @BundelKhandee@SamarWatch@ThatArticleGuy@AmrataJoshi
When voices are met with force instead of answers, it exposes the real crisis—trust between people and those in power. What’s unfolding in Rawalakot isn’t about maintaining order; it’s about silencing legitimate grievances.
Inflation, unemployment and years of frustration cannot be solved with bullets or blackouts. The more voices are suppressed, the louder the anger becomes. People deserve to be heard, not silenced. #Rawalakot #PoJK

Rawalakot is seeing what happens when a government treats its own people like an occupying force. Reports say Pakistani forces opened fire on protesters in PoJK, with casualties reported, arrests mounting, internet restrictions in place and the state apparently more interested in crushing dissent than answering it.
This is not “law and order.” It is brute force dressed up as control. The anger on the ground is tied to years of inflation, unemployment, poor services and political humiliation, but Islamabad’s response keeps falling back on the same formula: intimidation first, accountability never.
And that is why the outrage keeps spreading. When people ask for dignity and are met with bullets, shutdowns and silence, the message becomes unmistakable: the problem is not the protest, it is the regime’s fear of being heard.

It's good to see that. Army Cadet College is being allowed to have their graduation ceremony in this prestigious hall with their families, rather than the khetrapal Auditorium. Don't want speak about the history why it was stopped. Some top hierarchy will get offended. Happy to see this.🇮🇳

❌ Fake posts are circulating a so-called “official letter” claiming amendments in the Agniveer Scheme.
✅ FACT: The circulating letter is fake. No such amendment has been issued through official or credible sources. This is an another attempt to mislead youth, create confusion and spread disinformation about the Indian Armed Forces.

You want the young officer to sacrifice his life for the love of the Nation, but you don’t want him to express his love for his fiancée.
In the Army we say ‘Youngster nahi karega, toh kaun karega’.
If you can not find a fault in his professional capabilities, don’t do this nuktachini for such a pure gesture of love and belonging.
Military equipment has been on display during many ‘Know your Army’ exhibitions around the country. The students and non military personnel have clicked pics with it showing pride and love for the Army. So, please don’t bring in the national security angle into this.
Let the young soldier do his national duty with pride and honour 👍
Jai Hind 🇮🇳

An interesting argument. Here is a crux of what the Indian Army is leaning towards and seems pretty logical. The aim should not be who gets what! It should be What is suited best for operational necessity. Though I am no expert. Just an opinion.
Here is the thread.
When the mission demanded someone to move towards the bullets, Amit Singh Rana stepped forward.
Amit Singh Rana a fearless MARCOS commando who fought at close quarters and even under heavy enemy fire, risked his life to place the explosives on a terrorist hideout during operation Danna in J&K. He neutralised 8 terrorists, a task that demands more than courage—it demands an unbreakable spirit for the nation and absolute devotion to the brothers you fight alongside.
In an unfortunate road accident this brave son of the soil lost his life.
Some medals tell a story. The Shaurya Chakra tells his.🇮🇳
you will always be remembered and your service will always be a motivation for the generations to come.

Indian Army's 9 Rajputana rifles and rescue team of High altitude warfare school along with SDRF, JKP rescued people at Gondola cable ride, Gulmarg.
People thanking Indian Army is Heart-warming.
Sad state is we only respect Army when we need them. this mentality should change.
Incontrovertible evidence of how Twisha Sharma was abused and maligned by her husband and his mother emerges on tape.
Imagine a mother in law who asks her daughter in law about her sexual history, former partners, accusing her of promiscuity- and comparing her to a prostitute, while, her son, calls his wife a R##ndi . Who made this lady a judge ? I was truly chilled to the bone when I heard this audiotape - where Twisha Sharma’s brother, a serving major in the army confronts his sister's mother in law and takes her on for the constant harassment of Twisha. On April 22nd days before she was tragically found dead in the judge’s home, the family secretly recorded what may now stand as one of the most chilling windows into the cruelty Twisha endured inside her marital home. In the audio, accessed exclusively by Mojo Story, Former Judge, Giribala Singh can be heard brazenly defending her son against the complaint that he called cTwisha a “r*ndi” . She can be heard aggressively saying that it’s her right to know whether her daughter in law has had multiple partners in the past. And then- that oldest trope in the world- she questions her morality, accuses her of promiscuity and invokes parallels with prostitutes ( used in this context as an abuse by her) , language so vile, so dehumanising, it is hard to listen to without outrage.
