Fauji Brats stand out in any field they enter because they are open minded and have broad visions because of periodic travels with their parents. Their entry into politics will have a positive impact.

That’s where I heard it first in 1970,from the AMU riding team members when I was trying to motivate them to opt for an Army career. They were not convinced that they would get a fair deal because I was a ‘ Sarkari Mussalman’ ( so they told me up front ).

General, I have explained in my book what a ‘ Sarkari Mussalman’ is. It is a derogatory term used by the Muslim Community against one of their own who they perceive as not showering undue favours . I always went by the rules and got his sobriquet, which I felt was unwarranted.

It would have been a huge logistical effort to transport hundreds of camels. Besides the journey was for terrain familiarization and battle hardening.

I hoped you liked reading ‘ The Sarkari Mussalman’. It has the details of the 1971 battle of Longewala. My Regiment spent many months training at the Pokhran Ranges. I used to bring camels of my Regiment from Bikaner to Pokhran- a good five days hard camel ride.

I am proud of Saira Shah Halim, my daughter. We need good, upright, honest persons as the people’s representatives in the Lok Sabha. Your vote can make this happen.

An interesting article about NDA, my Alma Mater, penned by Lt Gen Shamsher Mehta, who taught my generation of officers what soldiering was all about.

Gen Naravane’s Book, hopefully will be released un-cut. Retd officers & Chiefs should pen their experiences fearlessly, for the benefit of country ( should not be courtiers writing to please.)Their experiences should be taken note of for improvements .
