Swasti is somthing special…the wayshe connects Kargil with the challenges India is facing today,,, reminds us why the Kargil Review Committee still matters
and brings up policy debates that most people simply ignore…
It’s not just about remembering our heroes, it’s about asking whether we’ve actually learned from their sacrifice.
That’s what makes her content feel different. Respect. 🇮🇳
The Editor was called to testify before the Subrahmanyam Committee, that was probing Kargil lapses. If memory serves one right, his submissions, some of which did not show the authorities in a good light, were gently modified. Governments generally do not appreciate the truth on such occasions. Better to stay with the myths.
