Lt Gen Hanut Singh Memorial Lecture By : INVC Team Published On : 9 May, 2016 11:59 PM IST INVC NEWS New Delhi, Lt Gen Hanut Singh Memorial Lecture was held at Kothari Auditorium, DRDO Bhawan, New Delhi today. The General passed away last year on 11 Apr 2015 and as a tribute this memorial lecture was held for the first time. It has been organized by Centre for Joint Warfare Studies. Honourable Raksha Mantri Shri Manohar Parrikar was the Chief Guest on the occasion. Lt Gen Hanut Singh popularly known as ‘the Doyen of Mechanised Warfare in India’ and ‘Soldier Saint’ was an archetypal Indian Warrior in the classical, heroic mould of Indian history. He is better known for his heroics in epic tank battle at Basantar during 1971 Indo Pak War during which almost 50 Pakistani tanks were destroyed as against loss of only 13 tanks of Poona Horse of Indian Army. The Pakistanis themselves called Poona Horse ‘Fakr e Hind-the Pride of India’ ; a compliment from the vanquished enemy. Raksha Mantri during his inaugural address stated that military leaders of the stature of Lt Gen Hanut Singh are remembered for the leadership that they provide during important battles. He was a charismatic and clear thinking General who exhibited sound leadership qualities and out of box thinking which should be emulated by young soldiers and future generation of leaders. Lt Gen AK Singh (Retd), Lt Governor, Andaman & Nicobar Islands delivered the memorial lecture on “Leadership in the Future Networked Battlefield”. He highlighted the challenges for higher military leadership in 21st century and suggested ways to overcome them, suggesting a roadmap for future. Lt Gen Ajay Singh (Retd), former Governor of Assam also delivered a lecture on “General Hanut Singh - the Doyen of Mechanised Warfare in India’. He highlighted his leadership attributes through battle accounts in Battle of Basantar during 1971 Operations. A short film on life & times of Lt Gen Hanut Singh was also screened.

Capability Based Force Structures for India 2015-2025
CAPABILITY BASED FORCE STRUCTURES FOR INDIA 2015-2025 By Maj Gen G D Bakshi SM, VSM (retd) Force Structuring can be done in two ways – Threat based or Capability based. Traditionally, Indian Force structures have generally been premised upon a threat-based analysis in the post-independence period. Indian Military history, howver, can be studied in terms of the three local Revolutions in Military Affairs (RMAs) that ushered in very major changes in the socio-political realm. In fact South Asia has largely been a civilisational and not a political entity. There were only three episodes of unification in its 5000 year long history. The three unifications of South Asia were in fact effected by local RMAs that replaced the attrition mindset with a manoeuvrist orientation. These three RMAs ushered in significant changes in the Indian political and economic spheres. The three RMAs were:- - The Elephant Based RMA of the Mauryans. This unified India in the wake of Alexander’s invasion. Kautilya in fact first unified India from Afghanistan and Baluchistan frontier regions down to Karnataka. He achieved this by using War elephants in the mass to generate “Shock and Awe” and usher in unprecedented rates of mobility in all types of terrain. He was a master of Information warfare. The Kautilyan Paradigm provides the essence of an Indian Strategic culture that has tended to persist over the millenniums and reasserted itself whenever India became a unified entity. - The Cavalry, Field Artillery and Musket based RMA of the Mughals. This unified India under the Mughal Empire by an intelligent combination of Horsed Archers, Field Artillery and Muskets.

Lt Gen Hanut Memorial
1 I N T R O D U C T I O N It is indeed a great privilege to have been asked to deliver the inaugural late Lt Gen Hanut Singh Memorial Lecture, in honour of this iconic Cavalry General and battle field leader, who remains a role model for many across the Indian Armed Forces. • I thank Lt Gen Vinod Bhatia, Director, Centre of Joint Warfare Studies and also Lt Gen Ashok Shivane, DGMF, for having given me this opportunity. • The subject I am covering today is vital to all of us assembled here: “Military Leadership in the 21st Century”. But it is even more vital to the Nation, for the Indian Armed Forces are the ultimate guarantors of our Nation’s Security and well being, and how this instrument of ‘Last Resort’ performs will be largely determined by the leadership that steers this organization in peace and leads it in war. • Seated here today amongst the audience are some of the iconic leaders of yesteryears, some of whom have rubbed shoulders with the legendary Gen Hanut. The presence of our Hon’ble Raksha Mantri is greatly motivating for all of us. Having interacted with him on a number of occasions, I can say with conviction that the operational preparedness and well being of the Armed Forces are in very steady and capable hands and very close to his heart. Thank you, Sir, for being here with us today. 2 • Before starting let me just recount my meeting with Gen Hanut in 2012 at Dehradun, when I was Southern Army Commander.

Huntie Was Special, by Raj Mehta
scholar warrior ‘Huntie’ was Special A nostalgic recall of Lt Col (later Lt Gen) Hanut Singh, PVSM, MVC in command of the Poona Horse RAJ MEHTA Fig 1 Lt Col Hanut Singh with his Kooshab tank crew My first recall of Lt Gen Hanut Singh, PVSM, MVC, is of an operational discussion at HQ 16 Armoured Brigade, where, as young officers, we first heard 146 ä SPRING 2014 ä scholar warrior scholar warrior him speak. Though he had just taken over the Poona Horse in September 1971, ‘Huntie’ was already being spoken of with awe. His professional reputation; lean, wiry physique; Caesar’s nose, charisma and no-nonsense speech; his no- nonsense deportment and body language mesmerised us. We saw him in the mould of the great cavalry heroes of World War II: Manstein, Guderian; Rommel, Patton. It helped that he was a Master Gunner; a tactician extraordinaire and was, in all senses, a Prussian General Staff Officer in his outlook and expectations from himself and the soldiers and men around him. Deployed in the Samba sector, Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), by October 1971 for operations, we young officers compared notes whenever we crossed paths in the operational area. Poona Horse was our common object of envy because of the relentless, critical thinking driven training and brainstorming that Hanut generated each day for his regiment to fight and win in the coming war. The war, when it took place in December 1971, was itself a great validation of the “fighting tight” Hanut school of pragmatic war-fighting. Growing Up Years IC-6126 Lt Gen Hanut Singh Rathore was born on July 6, 1933, to Lt Col Arjun Singh, who famously commanded the Kachawa Horse.
