Hardcover. Zustand: New. Major Chandrakant Singh VrC, commissioned in the Brigade of Guards, is a prolific writer on military history and travel. He is a veteran of counter-insurgency operations and the 1971 War in which he was wounded and received the Vir Chakra for gallantry. His wartime commanding officer Lt Gen Himmeth Singh in a letter to Brig Desmond Hayde MVC the hero of the Battles of Dograi and an icon of the Indian Army, wrote: "For the next three days, Chandrakant's company was hit with everything the Pakies could muster; they were physically assaulted, engaged by artillery, fired at point blank range by tanks and even strafed by enemy air until I thought they could not take anymore.Chandrakant and men like him you can kill but neven defeat. Recommended for the Param Vir Chakra he was given the Vir Chakra. He was a company commander very nearly unequalled in the army.".

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The war with Pakistan in December 1971 lasted barely two weeks. It concluded on 16 December with a victory for India and the formation of Bangladesh. But there is a lesser known side to this epic military confrontationthat of the western front, namely Jammu and Kashmir. While many contests on this side of India's border were won, some battles were ill fated. The heroic battle at Daruchhian in the Poonch Sector was one of them. A cone-shaped feature, approximately 1,000 metres in height, Daruchhian was of great tactical significance. The fierce clash on its slopes on the night of 13 December, however, could not ensure its capture. Many Indian soldiers were martyred, and the survivors taken prisoner, including Brigadier (then Major) Hamir Singh, VrC. Heavily injured in battle, he underwent a prolonged recovery at the Command Military Hospital, Rawalpindi, followed by an internment at the POW camp in Lyallpur. Hamir Singh's eyewitness account, recorded by the author, his son Maj Gen Vijay Singh, narrates in riveting detail what took place on that fateful night and what followed. From battle plans that were too perfect to succeed, to soldiers who didn't give up, enemies who honoured each others' professionalism, Pakistanis nostalgic about pre-Partition India, and the shared sorrow and joy that dissolve boundaries of nation and religion, POW 1971 gives us a view of war, valour and humanity that is as heart-wrenching as it is moving.

Soft cover. Zustand: New. Unlike traditional biographies of combat leaders, which focus primarily on military operations or regimental histories, in this book Major General V.K. Singh concentrates on personal accounts, anecdotes and reminiscences in order to highlight these leaders' personalities, and to draw out the human face behind the military facade. Through the stories of these twelve military leaders, the book also throws new light on several historical events and the role of political leaders during India's fight for independence and the partitioning of the subcontinent. He gives an overview of India's military history after independence, including major operations, and describes many hitherto unknown or little-known incidents concerning smaller operations like Nathu La in 1967 and Goa in 1962. Written records tend to glorify the actions of battalions as well as individuals, Singh says, magnifying achievements while suppressing the mistakes and glossing over failures. Leadership in the Indian Army provides a truer picture of the strength of character and convictions of each of these leaders. A must-read for anyone interested in India's military history.

This publication contains the proceedings of National Symposium Harnessing Heterosis in Crop Plants. Most of the chapters in this book are based on the presentations made during the event however a few chapters are also included with the aim to cover emerging issues. India is credited with the release of first commercial hybrids of several crops. Status and prospects of hybrid research in economically important crop plants are highlighted in chapter 1. Advancement in molecular techniques has been of tremendous utility in studying the mechanism of biological phenomenon. Availability management and assessment of Plant Genetic Resources (PGRs) provide platform to execute plant breeding including heterosis breeding. These aspects are described in chapters 2 3 4 5 and 6. Heterosis breeding has played a significant role in increasing productivity of a number of crops. Research aspects and prospects on parental line development hybrid development and their seed production in such crops are dealt in chapters 7 (sorghum) 8 (pearl millet) 9 (cotton) 10 (castor) 11 (Solanaceous vegetables) 12 (cucurbits and Cole crops) 13 (fruit and plantation crops) and 14 (ornamental crops). There are several non conventional crops where hybrid technology is at initial stage.
