Gandhiji remains the moral critical and formative a period as the late 1940s and compass of our Republic; his teachings are still the early 1950s.

    No. 08/2019 AN INDIAN ARMY PUBLICATION August 2019 BATTLE OF HAJIPIR (INDO-PAK WAR 1965) MAJOR RANJIT SINGH DAYAL, PVSM, MVC akistan’s forcible attempt to annex Kashmir was defeated when India, even though surprised by the Pakistani offensive, responded with extraordinary zeal and turned the tide in a war, Pakistan thought it would win. Assuming discontent in Kashmir with India, Pakistan sent infiltrators to precipitate Pinsurgency against India under ‘OPERATION GIBRALTAR’, followed by the plan to capture Akhnoor under ‘OPERATION GRAND SLAM’. The Indian reaction was swift and concluded with the epic capture of the strategic Haji Pir Pass, located at a height of 2637 meters on the formidable PirPanjal Range, that divided the Kashmir Valley from Jammu. A company of 1 PARA led by Major (later Lieutenant General) Ranjit Singh Dayal wrested control of Haji Pir Pass in Jammu & Kashmir, which was under the Pakistani occupation. The initial victory came after a 37- hour pitched battle by the stubbornly brave and resilient troops. Major Dayal and his company accompanied by an Artillery officer started at 1400 hours on 27 August. As they descended into the valley, they were subjected to fire from the Western shoulder of the pass. There were minor skirmishes with the enemy, withdrawing from Sank. Towards the evening, torrential rains covered the mountain with thick mist. This made movement and direction keeping difficult. The men were exhausted after being in the thick of battle for almost two days. But Major Dayal urged them to move on. On reaching the base of the pass, he decided to leave the track and climb straight up to surprise the enemy.

  • INDIA in 2008 Domestic Turmoil and External Hopes
    INDIA IN 2008 Domestic Turmoil and External Hopes Sumit Ganguly Abstract The past year saw signifi cant domestic turmoil in India. The country con- fronted a series of terrorist attacks including the one in Bombay, witnessed ethno-religious violence, dealt with a resurgent Maoist (Naxalite) guerilla move- ment, and faced agitations from agricultural communities over the acquisition of land for industrialization. On the external front, India managed to consum- mate a critical civilian nuclear agreement with the U.S., after much domestic debate and contention. Keywords: Naxalite agitation, terrorism, U.S.-India civilian nuclear agreement, Nandigram, economic downturn Introduction Communal violence, terrorist attacks and bombings, and internal confl icts wracked signifi cant parts of India throughout 2008. In addition, a dramatic spike in global oil prices, coupled with rising food prices, delivered considerable exogenous shocks to the country’s economy. Late in the year, the acute fi nancial crisis in the U.S. began having an ad- verse, but limited, impact on India’s economy. Despite these myriad prob- lems stemming from both domestic and external sources, the country managed to clock a growth rate of 7.9% in the quarter ending in June.1 Sumit Ganguly is Professor of Political Science and holds the Rabin- dranath Tagore Chair in Indian Cultures and Civilizations at Indiana University in Bloom- ington.
