Video of Pak soldiers surrendering in front of Indian Army in 1971
Removing their belts, then uniforms before putting down their arms. What a big humiliation it was for Pakistan Army. Team 93,000 ๐

Yes only India has it!
Twice as lethal as TNT, this game-changer will make all our bombs (Brahmos) and even artillery shells massively deadly.

@ajitkdubey@smitaprakash Next rank after Lt Gen is General. What promotion are you talking about?
Op Sindoor ke hero? Hero, because he fronted the media interactions? There are many, many other heroes in the background.
Appreciate for sure. But donโt get โdisorientedโ !

I walked into the National Defence Academy yesterday โ not for the first time. But this time was different.
Iโd been here as a child, when my father served. This time, I stood on stage in Habibullah Hall, speaking to 2,200 cadets.
Yesterday, I had the honour of delivering a guest lecture at the National Defence Academy, Pune โ on a theme close to my heart: โMen of Fortitude in the Indian Air Force.โ
Coming back โ this time to speak to 2,100 cadets inside the iconic Habibullah Hall โ brought with it a wave of nostalgia, humility, and deep responsibility.
The topic spanned eras and legends โ Jumbo Majumdar, Mehar Singh, Peter Wilson, Donald Conquest โ from the skies of NWFP and Burma to the valleys of Kashmir and the battles of Chittagong and Badin. I even shared the story of Uday Sondhi, Indiaโs first amputee military pilot โ a naval aviator who redefined resilience.
At the heart of the session was a simple but powerful framework: the DNA of Fortitude โ
๐น Perseverance
๐น Resilience
๐น Endurance
๐น Adaptability
๐น Humility
Each value illustrated through real lives โ lived in uniform, often at great cost.
Speaking in Habibullah Hall, surrounded by three tiers of cadets and officers, was a reminder of how moments shape mindsets. I can only hope that a few of these stories stay with the cadets โ not just as history, but as quiet companions in moments of doubt, grit, or decision.
Grateful to Vice Admiral Gurcharan Singh, Commandant NDA, for his gracious presence and interaction. And to the NDA team for their impeccable hospitality and coordination.
The mission of the Inspire History Project is simple:
To preserve legacy. To share stories. To inspire service.
