If you haven’t watched yet… do listen in….we chatted about growing up in boarding schools, the army, the time in the hills, travel etc. a long, easy conversation….#stories #account #Himalayas.
So much in history never made it to popular imagination — such as the battles of 1967 in which India beat China. @iProbal joins me in episode 412 of The Seen and the Unseen to discuss his time in the army — and his fascinating discoveries as a historian:

In 1965, Gujarat chief minister Balwantrai Mehta crashed near the border, beginning the India Pakistan war. That was shot down, of course. it’s the second time a Gujarat chief minister (this time, a former one), crashed around a sensitive political time. There is an eerie.

What a #tragedy. So many lives lost. Those flying and those on ground lost their lives. Sad day. 37 years ago an airplane crash happened in Ahmedabad in 1988, claiming many lives. Heart goes out to all those who lost their close ones. #planecrash #Boeing787Dreamliner

This is ridiculous! Thugs!.
What’s next—violence in banks over language pride?. Yesterday in Dhule, MNS activists barged into an SBI branch and physically assaulted staff—all in the name of enforcing Marathi. This isn’t protection—it’s intimidation, and it undermines unity and respect. Maharashtra’s

Pakistan has historically preferred short, quick wars:1965, 1971. An information war is currently underway to impose costs of waging a future conflict on Pakistan. It is intended to render undeployable Pakistan’s capacity to continue a long war – economically and militarily.
