Summary: In the essays that comprise The Indian Army: Reminiscences, Reforms and Romance, Lieutenant General H.S. Panag examines burning questions surrounding the Indian Armed Forces: their exploitation by neonationalists; an intrusive medias projection of the army as the sole flagbearer of patriotism; the obsession with Pakistan as an impending threat to national security; the intense militarisation of Kashmir post the abrogation of Article 370; and equal opportunities for women in combat, among other issues. Divided into six sections Human Rights, Reforms, Leadership, Reminiscences, Conflict and Unforgettable Heroes the book compels the reader to think deeper and with greater nuance about a muchdiscussed and much-maligned institution. The Indian Army is also a glimpse into the Generals own life, and reveals hitherto unknown aspects of his long career in the army.
