New Delhi, Dec. 31 -- The seminar organised by Lt Gen (Dr) PJS Pannu, with intellectual input from Mr. Shishir Priyadarshi and Mr. Sanjeev Chopra, was more than just a celebration. It also served as a collective reminder that history should be examined critically, not just honoured. The stories of Gen Davar, Maj Bedi, Lt Col Desmond Hayde, and Maj Gen Baldev Raj Varma reminded the audience that courage, initiative, and professionalism can change the course of war, even when institutions falter.
Equally, the recollection of missteps, including underdeveloped infrastructure, underestimation of armour, and premature relinquishment of territorial gains, underscored the importance of learning from history.
