Inside India's Fight Against Naxalism | Is This the End of Red Terror? | Ft. Sandeep Unnithan  In this deep-dive episode of In Our Defence, veteran defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to unpack India's decades-long battle with Left Wing Extremism (LWE) — often called Naxalism or Red Terror — and the recent decisive push to eradicate it by March 2026. Dev and Sandeep explore the evolution of the Naxal movement from its origins in Naxalbari in 1967 to its spread across India's infamous “Red Corridor”, and the multi-pronged strategy that has brought the insurgency to its lowest levels in decades. Key topics include: The historic neutralisation of CPI (Maoist) General Secretary Basavaraju in Operation Black Forest The spike in encounters and surrenders in 2024–25 Why counter-insurgency in jungles is as deadly — and complex — as high-tech border warfare. Why the Indian Army was never deployed against Naxals — and what could have happened if they had. The role of urban intellectual support in sustaining the movement — and why that's now faded. This episode is an eye-opening look at one of India's longest-running internal conflicts, now seemingly entering its final phase. Tune in. Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

Written and Narrated by Shweta Misra.First Published here https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/readersblog/creating-shared-values-for-sustainable-society/believe-it-indians-won-world-war2-29220/Consider this –Number of Soldiers in Indian Army currently- 14 lakh. approx.A number of Indian Soldiers who participated in the Second World War-A Staggering 25 lakh.Aggregating much more than1.5 times the strength of the existing Indian troops, they made the largest volunteer army of any country in the world! This information hits one like a revelation since it was never a part of history lessons in our schools and even today it is not being brought to the fore either through academics or through any other channels.More scandalous is the realization that the second world war was actually won by  Indians for the Allied Forces!  The most pivotal and decisive victory in WWII came when the Japanese army was stopped from advancing towards India via Burma. If Indian soldiers fighting under Union Jack had not disrupted  Japanese advance, they would have easily run over the Indian subcontinent and established a link with the German Army deployed in Iran. Winners of WWII would have been different then!Now come the enigmas, firstly, why Indians fought this war and secondly, why this ginormous contribution of Indians in bringing world order, not being spoken about anywhere in the world.Untangling the facts, one finds that those Indians who fought the war were young men full of nationalistic fervour who were dreaming of the ultimate Independence of their country. These were soldiers who had the assurance of the British prime minister Winston Churchill that once the war is over, India will be given Independence. These patriots fought the war as British Indian Army, laid their lives and defeated the Axis forces, only because they wanted to see their motherland break the shackles of slavery and become a free republic, post-war.If only Winston Churchill had kept his promise, the sacrifices of these Indian soldiers would have been validated. But that did not happen. On the contrary, they were simply Forgotten by Britishers because they were  Indians.The tragic part is that when India did get independence ultimately, the newly formed Indian government de-recognised the British Indian army. The pension benefits of these soldiers were terminated.But there's a solace. Not all forgot them. There is a place where their victory stories are still celebrated with pride and their history embraced with love. It is in the present Indian Army units.  Enter any of the older regiments' offices,  officer's messes, quarter guards etc. and the first thing that catches one's eye is the shine and glitter of fondly kept trophies, mementoes and memorials which are associated with the WWII veterans. Each of them features the strength, determination, valour and courage of their regimental brethren. Most Indian Army Regiments have immaculately preserved the war moments in these pieces and take immense pride displaying them, particularly for their fraternity to draw inspiration from.The details of the British Indian army should be made known to millennials.The present generation should decide whether those soldiers were really undeserving of the tag of Indian Freedom Fighters. The “freedom struggle” narrative of those who formed government immediately after India's independence can once be given a thought.The sacrifice of lakhs of  Indians during  World War II  brought world order. It should be acknowledged.#captainshwetamisra

In this Telugu Podcast episode with Major SPS Oberoi, we uncover the real truth behind Indira Gandhi's assassination, the rise of the Khalistani separatist movement, and the complex role of the Sikh community in India's military, history, and politics. From being the backbone of the Indian Army to facing one of the most painful betrayals during Operation Bluestar, the Sikh identity has been both celebrated and challenged.We go deeper into how the partition of India and Pakistan shaped Punjab's volatile history, referencing the emotional and cultural impact seen in works like Train to Pakistan. The demand for a separate Khalistan was not just internal, it was actively supported and funded by elements sheltered in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, allegedly to apply diplomatic and strategic pressure on India.This episode features firsthand insights from a retired Indian Army veteran, who breaks down how RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) became one of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. From the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation, 1974 nuclear test, to integrating the Sikh identity into the national fold, RAW's operations have shaped modern Indian geopolitics. You'll learn how agents are trained to control the subconscious mind, why they operate in secrecy, and how a tailor shop in Mumbai served as a secret Israeli embassy. We discuss how agents report directly to the PMO, their finances remain outside scrutiny, and the shocking depth of their missions, including spoiling Turkey's weapons export dreams.We also expose how Pakistan's military works like a corporate empire, supporting terror groups, owning businesses, and manipulating information through information warfare. From Operation Sindhoor to Balakot airstrikes, Abhinandan's capture, and India's strategic mastery in psychological operations, you'll see how India is no longer just defending, but outsmarting.Explore the reality of modern warfare, where no one really wins, and war has become a profitable business. Despite global silence during major Indian operations, the episode questions whether it's time for India to rethink its foreign policy. Why did we not reclaim Kashmir even after Kasab openly admitted Pakistan's involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks? Why is Pakistan still considered a poster boy for US foreign strategy, and why is every Indian victory followed by a forced ceasefire?But this podcast goes beyond geopolitics and strategy. It's an emotional, personal journey. Our guest opens up about the hardest part of army life, sending a fellow soldier's body home. He shares the emotional bond among soldiers, their sacrifices, and the harsh truth that MPs get pensions after a single day in Parliament, while a soldier might not after ten years of service. We talk about how Sikhs continue to dominate military enlistment, driven by their culture, principles, and identity.We also address life after the army, the transition, the struggles, the respect, and the goals that remain unshaken. Currently working as an academic advisor at EKAM, he opens up about UPSC struggles, parenting challenges, and the pressure on middle-class aspirants. You'll hear about real UPSC competition insights, how to learn deeply, the importance of Brahma Muhurtam, and why honesty is a non-negotiable value.From Cambrian Patrol victories in 2021 and 2023 to learning how India honors its war field ethics and handles POWs beyond the Geneva Convention, this episode is packed with value---emotionally, intellectually, and strategically.If you want to understand India's national security, intelligence agencies, military mindset, and the real impact of geopolitics on everyday lives, this episode is unmissable. Whether you're a UPSC aspirant, a patriot, a history buff, or just someone curious about the truth behind headlines, this episode might be your next best guide.

In this episode, veteran defence journalist Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to decode Operation Sindoor — India's response to Pahalgam terrorist attack.Sandeep and Dev dive deep into how India's layered air defence network, including the IACCS (Integrated Air Command and Control System), played a pivotal role in thwarting Pakistani aerial threats. What was the X factor that gave India the edge? Was the much-talked-about S-400 system deployed? What was sitaution like in the commmand and control centre?The two also explore the escalation ladder — a concept from military theory — and how India used it both during the days of fighting of Operation Sindoor and more broadly to counter Pakistan's nuclear posturing. Why is this theory studied so deeply in strategic circles? And how does it play out in real-time decision-making?Sandeep and Dev also look at the Indian Navy's posturing during the conflict as well as the roles played by the Indian Army and Indian Air Force. And as a final thought, the two discuss Pakistan's Kirana Hills and the speculation that the nuclear weapons storage site may have been hit during the operation.Produced by Prateek LidhooSound mix by Suraj Singh

President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney met for the first time at the White House today. The two leaders exchanged differing opinions on trade and territorial issues. During the meeting, President Trump told the Prime Minister that he still wants Canada to become the 51st U.S. state, to which Carney responded that Canada is not “for sale.”The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce its ban on transgender individuals serving in the military while it appeals a lower court's ruling. In a social media post, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt hailed the decision as a “massive victory.”Tensions rose between India and Pakistan after the Indian Army confirmed it had carried out targeted airstrikes on alleged terrorist camps inside Pakistani territory. In a statement, India's Ministry of Defense described the operation as “focused, deliberate, and non-escalatory,” adding that it came in response to a terrorist attack last month that killed dozens of Indian citizens in Kashmir.

The UN Security Council held a closed-door consultation Monday to discuss rising India-Pakistan tensions after a terror attack in Pahalgam killed 26 people. The meeting, initiated by Greece and requested by Pakistan, saw calls for de-escalation and “tough questions” reportedly posed to Islamabad. Though no official statement was issued, Pakistan claimed its goals were “largely served.” UN official Khaled Khiari briefed members on the volatile situation and emphasized dialogue and peaceful resolution. The UNSC's 15 members discussed the issue amid growing concern over regional stability following the deadly attack.The Indian Army on Tuesday apprehended a Pakistani national near the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch's Chakkan Da Bagh area, amid surging India-Pakistan tensions. Army officials said the man is under interrogation. His capture follows the recent terror attack in Pahalgam that killed 25 tourists and a local, triggering frequent ceasefire violations by Pakistan across the LoC. The Indian Army has responded with retaliatory fire as border hostilities intensify. Military officials say heightened vigilance continues along the volatile frontier, which has seen firing in multiple sectors over the past few days.Amid fears of an Indian military response to the Pahalgam terror attack, the Centre on Monday instructed northern and western states and Union Territories to test civil defence readiness. The Ministry of Home Affairs directed mock drills for May 7 across J&K, Punjab, Rajasthan, and Haryana. States were asked to activate air raid sirens, implement blackout protocols, train civilians in safety drills, and practice evacuation plans. The alert comes as cross-border tensions spike and India braces for possible retaliation, with the Line of Control witnessing daily ceasefire violations since the attack.The Supreme Court warned Indraprastha Apollo Hospital on March 25 that AIIMS may take over its management if it continues to violate land lease terms requiring free treatment for poor patients. Over 12 years, Apollo reportedly allocated only 17% of its mandated Economically Weaker Section (EWS) beds, with some years as low as 12%. The court's rebuke follows a review of internal records revealing chronic underperformance. The hospital was granted land at concessional rates with the condition of providing EWS care, a commitment it now risks losing if non-compliance continues.The Trump administration has introduced a controversial new policy encouraging undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily. According to The New York Times, migrants will be offered $1,000 and a plane ticket home if they choose to self-deport. Payment is issued after departure is verified through the CBP Home app. Officials claim the policy will reduce deportation costs, which typically involve locating, detaining, and flying individuals out via government resources. The policy is being framed as a cost-saving measure amid ongoing debates over immigration enforcement and border control.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 2nd of May and here are the headlines.Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the second Cabinet Committee on Security meeting following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people. Key ministers including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and S. Jaishankar attended. Modi also led meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs and the Cabinet Economic Affairs Committee. Meanwhile, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and emphasized that the perpetrators, backers, and planners of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice.Additionally, Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night, firing across the Line of Control in Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor. The Indian Army responded in a controlled and measured manner. The ongoing violations come amid heightened tensions after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. On Tuesday, the DGMOs of both countries held a hotline discussion, during which India warned Pakistan about repeated unprovoked ceasefire breaches. The situation remains volatile as Pakistan continues to provoke along both the LoC and the International Border.The next decennial Census of India is set to break new ground by including a detailed enumeration of caste—something that hasn't been attempted since the British-era census of 1931. With the Centre indicating its willingness to capture OBC data, this marks a significant policy shift with far-reaching social and political implications. The most crucial question the government must now address — and one that will ultimately be a political call, much like the decision to enumerate caste itself — is which list to use while enumerating OBCs. In the last Census, for SCs and STs, the proforma relied on the official lists notified under the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, and the Constitution (Scheduled Tribes) Order, 1950. These lists — currently comprising 1,170 castes under SC and 890 communities under ST — are periodically updated through amendments passed by Parliament.Communal tensions erupted in Nainital, Uttarakhand, after the family of a minor girl filed a rape complaint against a 65-year-old contractor, Usman. The incident allegedly occurred on April 12. The accused was arrested on Wednesday under the POCSO Act. That night, mobs vandalized shops and eateries belonging to the minority community and protested outside a mosque and police station. Videos show shop staff being slapped. Police confirmed the situation is under control, but the incident has inflamed already sensitive communal sentiments in the area.The United States and Ukraine signed a major agreement granting Washington access to Ukraine's critical mineral reserves, including titanium, lithium, and uranium. Known as the U.S.-Ukraine Reinvestment Fund, the deal aims to boost Ukraine's post-war recovery while attracting global investors. The pact also sends a strong message to Russia, showing the U.S. remains committed to Ukraine's sovereignty and economic stability. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the fund represents a long-term partnership focused on rebuilding Ukraine as a free and prosperous nation.This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Jaishankar spoke to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and emphasized that the perpetrators, backers, and planners of the Pahalgam terror attack must be brought to justice. Rubio expressed sorrow over the attack and reaffirmed U.S. support in combating terrorism. He also encouraged India to work with Pakistan to de-escalate tensions and maintain peace in South Asia. The U.S. had earlier condemned the attack, with officials reiterating their commitment to cooperation with India in counterterrorism efforts.Pakistan violated the ceasefire for the seventh consecutive night, firing across the Line of Control in Kupwara, Uri, and Akhnoor.

The situation remains volatile as Pakistan continues to provoke along both the LoC and the International Border.3. Supreme Court Rejects Judicial Probe PleaThe Supreme Court on Thursday declined a plea seeking a judicial probe by a retired judge into the Pahalgam terror attack. A bench of Justices Surya Kant and N. K. Singh said this was not the time to make demands that could demoralize security forces. They stressed that judges are meant to resolve legal disputes, not investigate terror incidents. The Public Interest Litigation had also requested the formation of a judicial commission. The court, however, emphasized national unity during this “crucial hour” of fighting terrorism.Communal tensions erupted in Nainital, Uttarakhand, after the family of a minor girl filed a rape complaint against a 65-year-old contractor, Usman.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 30th of April and here are the headlines.Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired the second Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed at least 26 people. Key ministers including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and S. Jaishankar attended. Modi also led meetings of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA) and the Cabinet Economic Affairs Committee (CCEA). A cabinet briefing is scheduled for 4 PM.

The collapse followed heavy rain and occurred during the Akshaya Tritiya festival, with crowds gathering from 4 AM. Officials said the wall gave way when people leaned on it near a ticket counter. Home Minister V Anita noted the toll could have been higher if many hadn't stepped back after noticing the wall weakening. The structure had been built recently near the temple's special entrance staircase.The Supreme Court, citing the right to digital access as part of life and liberty, ordered changes to digital KYC norms to aid people with vision impairment and acid attack survivors. The ruling came from Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan in response to two writ petitions. The court directed authorities to revise KYC procedures to ensure accessibility and inclusion for those with visual disabilities, emphasizing that digital rights must be inclusive. The decision marks a step toward equitable access to essential digital identification systems in India.The Delhi Anti-Corruption Branch filed an FIR against former Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and former PWD Minister Satyendar Jain over alleged corruption in constructing 12,748 classrooms during AAP's rule. The scam is reportedly worth Rs 2,000 crore. ACB chief Madhur Verma confirmed the FIR, stating major cost escalations, delays, and deviations were observed. None of the works were completed on time. Officials alleged the contracts were awarded to parties close to the AAP. The investigation highlights serious irregularities in infrastructure development under the previous administration.Former US President Donald Trump held a rally in Warren, Michigan, to mark 100 days since returning to office. Addressing a large crowd, he celebrated what he called major economic achievements and attacked Democrats, especially Joe Biden, over immigration. Trump said he missed the campaign trail and used the Michigan rally—his first major public event since January 20—to reignite his base. The location was symbolic, being a center of the auto industry, where Trump emphasized jobs, the economy, and America-first policies during his address.That's all for today.

In this gripping episode of History Rage Live, host Paul Bavill welcomes back historian and author Phil Craig to dive deep into the complexities of the Far East during the Second World War. Phil, a familiar voice from the podcast, returns to discuss his upcoming book, "1945: The Reckoning," set to release on April 24th. Together, they unravel the tangled narratives surrounding Subhas Chandra Bose and the Indian National Army, challenging the glorified myths that have emerged around his legacy.Key Discussion Points:The Controversial Legacy of Subhas Chandra Bose: Phil critiques the idolization of Bose, arguing that his alliances with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan overshadow his contributions to India's independence.Real Heroes of Independence: The episode contrasts Bose's actions with those of General Kodendira Sabaya Thimaya, who played a crucial role in the Indian Army's efforts against the Japanese forces, highlighting the often overlooked figures in the fight for freedom.The Role of Propaganda: Phil discusses how the narrative surrounding Bose has been shaped by media portrayals, including a recent Amazon Prime series that romanticizes his life while ignoring the darker truths.Red Fort Trials and Their Impact: The conversation examines the significance of the Red Fort trials in shaping public perception of Bose and his lieutenants, as well as their implications for Indian nationalism.Modern Relevance: Paul and Phil explore how Bose is perceived in contemporary India, particularly in the context of political figures like Prime Minister Modi, and the implications of celebrating a controversial figure.Guest Information:Pre-order Phil Craig's book "1945: The Reckoning" here: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781399714495Follow Phil on Twitter: @philmcraigCheck out the Scandalmongers podcast on YouTube and your favorite podcast platforms.Support History Rage: For just £3 per month on Patreon or Apple, enjoy early access to episodes, ad-free listening, and exclusive content.

In this Telugu podcast episode, we had the honor of speaking with Lieutenant General A Arun Sir, who offered a rare and deep perspective on life in the Indian Army. He shared the lesser-known side of military life — not just the discipline and duty, but the emotional strength it demands. From life at National Defence Academy, often referred to as the “Maker of Men,” to the lifelong bonds soldiers form through shared hardships, his stories paint a vivid picture of what it truly means to serve. He opened up about the toughest mission of his life and what it felt like to be the first officer to get shot in that operation.Lt Gen Arun Sir also spoke in detail about how military operations are conducted, the life-threatening risks involved, and the stark contrast between the responsibilities they carry and the modest salaries they receive. He touched on the emotional cost of being away from family and how soldiers cope with that burden. He recalled the Nimbharam injury and hospital incident, offering a raw and human side to a soldier's journey.From answering light-hearted yet important questions about marriage and expectations from a life partner, to sharing insights about the powers and decision-making responsibilities held at the highest levels, he gave us a glimpse into a world few truly understand. He also reflected on his friendships with Pakistani officers at UN, offering a balanced and hopeful view on the evolving mindsets of the younger generation across the border.The episode dives into everything from the realities of war zones and the treatment of prisoners of war--Kargil conflict and the Bangladesh Liberation War. As Chief of Strategy, he explained his critical role and how multi-use military technologies are shaping the future. He leaves us with a powerful message — that the military is not built for war, but to uphold peace. His perspective on life, leadership, and resilience might just change the way you see the world.

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 4th of April and here are the headlines.The Trump administration's new tariffs on global trade partners, including a 27% duty on imports from India, will affect sectors like diamonds, smartphones, solar PV modules, and apparel. While certain products like critical minerals, energy products, and pharmaceuticals may be exempt, most of India's top exports, including pharmaceuticals worth $8 billion, are not. Petroleum oils derived from bituminous minerals could benefit, but tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles remain unchanged. These measures could reshape trade relations with India, despite limited relief for some sectors.After nearly 12 hours of debate in the Lok Sabha, the Waqf (Amendment) Bill moved to the Rajya Sabha for further discussion yesterday. BJP MPs accused the Opposition of spreading misinformation, while TMC MP Mohammad Nadimul Islam criticized the Bill as cultural vandalism, accusing the Centre of seeking excessive control over Waqf. The Lok Sabha passed the Bill with 288 votes in favor and 232 votes against. The amendment now awaits a decision in the Rajya Sabha after being tabled by Kiren Rijiju.The Indian Army accused Pakistan of violating the ceasefire along the Line of Control in Poonch's Krishna Ghati sector. According to Army PRO Lt Colonel Suneel Bartwal, Pakistani forces intruded across the LoC and triggered a mine blast on April 1, followed by unprovoked firing. Indian forces responded in a "controlled and calibrated manner," keeping the situation under close watch. Tensions have risen despite the ceasefire agreement, with the Army asserting that India's borders remain secure and that further developments are being monitored.Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma strongly condemned the statement by Bangladesh interim government advisor Muhammad Yunus, who claimed that Bangladesh is "the only guardian of the ocean" for Northeast India. Yunus had stated that Bangladesh holds a unique position to benefit from the economic possibilities of the region. Sarma called the remark offensive, highlighting its connection to India's vulnerable "Chicken Neck" corridor, which connects the Northeast with the rest of India, emphasizing India's territorial integrity and strategic concerns.Bajinder Singh, a self-proclaimed Christian pastor, was sentenced to life imprisonment in a rape case dating back to 2018 by a Mohali court. Singh had been convicted for luring a woman under the pretext of helping her settle abroad, only to rape her and threaten to post a video of the act online. The court convicted him under IPC sections related to rape, voluntary hurt, and criminal intimidation. Singh had been arrested at Delhi airport in 2018 and released on bail until his recent conviction.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express

Episode NotesLt Gen P. R. Shankar outlines the evolution of India's defense industry and how it is nurturing a growing ecosystem of indigenous production. He highlights that India's armed forces have always been adequately equipped for national defense, the key question being whether it can develop a defence industry that would enable it to act as a regional power.The discussion explores the historical structure of India's defence sector, traditionally dominated by public sector organizations such as the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It traces the gradual but significant entry of private players into the defence industry, marking a shift towards a more diversified and dynamic ecosystem. Gen. Shankar emphasizes that meaningful reform in procurement processes does not necessarily require more rules; rather clarity of intent, domain expertise, and better coordination among the armed forces, bureaucracy, political leadership, and industry. A key highlight of the episode is the artillery modernization program, which serves as a successful case study of long-term strategic planning and sustained execution, offering valuable lessons for other sectors and weapon systems. The conversation also delves into the relevance of international defense partnerships for deeper co-development and interoperability. Finally, broader reforms such as the introduction of positive indigenization lists, a more robust export policy, and the inclusion of startups and academic institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology, are seen as critical to strengthening India's defense industry. Episode ContributorsLt Gen P.R. Shankar (Retd.) is the former Director General of Artillery in the Indian Army and currently a professor in the Aerospace Department at IIT Madras. He has played a key role in India's artillery modernization and frequently writes on strategic and defense issues. He also runs a YouTube channel, Gunner's Shot, focusing on defense and geopolitical affairs.Saheb Singh Chadha is a senior research analyst in the Security Studies Program at Carnegie India.

Kuljinder Dhillon is a common man from Majha region in Punjab. Like tens of thousands of youth, he also got swept away by the Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale-led Khalistan movement in late 1970s and early 1980s. He was inside the Golden Temple when the Indian Army launched a military operation codenamed 'Blue Star' to take control of the holy complex back from Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, who was using the Sikhism's holiest site as a launchpad for his terrorism and anti-India activities.Kuljinder Dhillon actively participated in the battle with Indian army on 4th & 5th June 1984. He was arrested later from the Golden Temple but managed to flee from a hospital where he was referred to for treating injuries inflicted by a grenade attack. He later fled to Pakistan in search of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, believing like lakhs of other Sikhs that 'Sant' was hiding in Pakistan.Kuljinder Dhillon later got involved in smuggling activities across the border but was caught few years later. Ultimately, he got disillusioned with the Khalistan movement and is a strong opponent of the same now. His journey from extremism to mainstream is an important one that needed to be documented. Though, Kuljinder Dhillon lives like a family man in Punjab, he is constantly under the threat from Khalistanis who have made attempts on his life for speaking truth.

The military differential between India and China is predominantly in the domains of electronic and cyber warfare, and in the quality and quantity of precision-guided munitions.
