India's Most Fearless 2: More Military Stories of Unimaginable Courage and Sacrifice | Stories of War

The book like its first part, is compilation of fourteen true stories of dangerous and daunting missions & situations involving extraordinary courage and fearlessness by Armed Forces Warriors. These are not only stories of raw courage, fearlessness and unflinching conviction towards duty displayed by members of our armed forces but also an extraordinary example of human capabilities and spirit. The extent, scope and range of heroism displayed through these stories further solidifies our faith in the bravery, courage, sacrifice and determination of the people we have entrusted with protecting us. The book is also a tribute to the families for their courage, fortitude and sacrifice. Each of the fourteen stories gives a deep insight into the life of the families of these brave hearts after the parade closes, curtains comes down and the story behind the scene of action remains unread, untold and un-googled. Kudos to Mr Shiv Aroor and Mr Rahul Singh to get access to the information behind these remarkable incidents and build compelling stories around them. The authors have done a great deal of hard work by adding considerable new material and a good amount of detail thus providing far greater depth for our understanding. The Stunning narration of the book, brilliant composition and effective writing is what makes the stories appealing, thoroughly engrossing and an absolute delight to read. A highly recommended reading...!!!

Indian authors and movie makers work on very few subjects related to India's fight against terrorism. This is probably due to our ignorance and indifference to what it takes to defend a nation. A refreshing change in this attitude is being spearheaded by Shiv Aroor and Rahul Singh. Second part of their series, India's Most Fearless, this books captures the bravery of some of the exceptionally talented Indian warriors. The book brilliantly captures their real life achievements. It is also very moving for the readers as these brave men put our nation above all, including their own lives. For the readers, each warrior's story is covered in a chapter and there are 14 such chapters. Narrative is edge of the seat kind. Each chapter starts with an action in progress, then goes on to cover background and finally comes back to the action where it left. Warriors from Indian Army, Air Force and Navy are covered. A must read for all Indians. Just think of those 30-second TV news items or a few paragraph articles in newspapers that say something like "Anti terrorist operation concluded. 3 terrorists killed, 1 soldier martyred". We, almost insensitively, read it like a football match score line and move on to other news. This book is the story of that 1 martyred soldier, that other wounded soldiers, that operation where those terrorists were neutralized, the planning that went into that operation. This book is about the absolute bravery, passion, patriotism and skills of our soldiers who guard our nation at all the times.

Great read.

Following up on the book "India's Most Fearless" this book brings more courage stories from the Indian Armed Forces. The points that strike you while reading these stories are the details and backstories to the simple news update which we get every few days about soldiers being martyred on the front lines. When we hear news about a soldier sacrificing his life for his motherland the news does not tell the details of the operation where the officer put his own life to protect his jawans. Deep down he knows that the life of the men he commands is his responsibility and that if something were to happen to them he would not be able to face himself. The stories of the 2 men who in order to save the submarine crew isolated themselves in the compartment with fire inside the submarine and kept battling the fire to save the submarine makes you wonder how one can put oneself in danger voluntarily. The story of a Garud commando who could not sleep until he avenged his fallen comrade with the terrorist shows the level of bonding they have with there men. These stories go on to tell us the kind of dangers these men deal with day in and day out irrespective of whether we are in war or peacetime. I would say these stories of men and women should be taught in schools and popular newspapers and magazines for it is because of them we can sleep peacefully at home. Jai Hind
