Grit, Guts and Gallantry: Officers and Gentlemen of the Indian Army

0.0

Most Indian citizens are unaware of the Defence Forces the rank structure, the selection process, the hardships they endure, and so on; neither are they keen to understand. Their patriotism is limited to watching the Republic Day parade or shouting Jai Jawan! during a warlike situation. During career counselling, students are given several career options, but a career in the services is not one of them. Why are the services not given their due? This book is an account of the author s journey through the NDA and the IMA. Colonel Chadha dispels many myths about Army life to provide young students on the threshold of their careers, a clear and unadulterated view of what to expect in the Army. There is hard work, excruciating physical training and adherence to rules and regulations; but there is also a mix of masti and adventure. Using a racy, conversational style, Grit, Guts and Gallantry is an insider s account of life in the Indian Army. It is also a tribute to the Indian soldiers, who are willing to die for their country, with no thought of reward or recognition.
