India's Most Fearless 2: More Military Stories of Unimaginable Courage and Sacrifice

Following up on the book "India's Most Fearless" this book brings more courage stories from the Indian Armed Forces.

The points that strike you while reading these stories are the details and backstories to the simple news update which we get every few days about soldiers being martyred on the front lines.

When we hear news about a soldier sacrificing his life for his motherland the news does not tell the details of the operation where the officer put his own life to protect his jawans. Deep down he knows that the life of the men he commands is his responsibility and that if something were to happen to them he would not be able to face himself.



The stories of the 2 men who in order to save the submarine crew isolated themselves in the compartment with fire inside the submarine and kept battling the fire to save the submarine makes you wonder how one can put oneself in danger voluntarily. The story of a Garud commando who could not sleep until he avenged his fallen comrade with the terrorist shows the level of bonding they have with there men.

These stories go on to tell us the kind of dangers these men deal with day in and day out irrespective of whether we are in war or peacetime.

I would say these stories of men and women should be taught in schools and popular newspapers and magazines for it is because of them we can sleep peacefully at home.

Jai Hind !!

An Extraordinary Life: A Biography of Manohar Parrikar

An extraordinary book on the life of an extraordinary Indian This would be perhaps in my humble opinion the best single-line review of the book. Ever since Parrikar Ji became the defense minister of India with his simple living and a man known to get the job done, I have been intrigued by him. So when it came to choosing my next book I actively scouted for books on him and by far this book was the highest recommended. The moment you start reading the book you are struck by two things the objectivity of the authors and how well written the book is. On the objectivity part while reading the book it gives a 360-degree view of Mr. Parrikar and it gives the good and the bad about him in a completely subjective manner, without shying away from the shortcomings of the 4-time chief minister of Goa. On how well the book is written the authors have kept the language simple enough for the public to read while also using the appropriate words while required, which the reader may sometime need to l
