RTE – The Indian Rope Trick at Higher Altitudes (1)
I wrote this blog and sent it to my erstwhile commanding officer at Sikkim during 1981-82 for publication in his website guftagu@amolak.in. Later on, the post got the attention of the editor of FAUJI magazine and he republished the same.
Looking back more than 35 years, I feel very privileged to have been associated with this venture in absolute field conditions which finally resulted in a great pay off to the troops located in forward areas. The Doklam stand off with China now is happening not far from this area .
I am sure the Indian Army is much better equipped to cope with the “first enemy ” – the inhospitable terrain and then to meet any aggression in our soil in a befitting manner.
Proud to have been part of the Great Indian Army !
