🔥 Special Episode Today at 6 PM 🔥

MONKS & WARRIORS X ROYAL ENFIELD

25 kilometres. One pistol. Alone.

What makes a young officer walk into a highly infested area, deep into the mountains, with nothing but a pistol?

What happens when the mission takes you through darkness, relentless rain, broken terrain and an enemy you cannot afford to underestimate?

And what does “Beyond Limits” really mean when there is no room for hesitation?

In this special episode of Monks & Warriors, Col Hemonto Panging, SM** takes us through some of the defining moments of his military journey — from his early days in the Infantry to 9 Para (SF), and the mindset that pushed him to think differently, train differently and act differently.

He recalls the 25-kilometre solo mission, operations in extreme weather, the moments when his team was pushed to its limits, and the leadership lessons he learned from the soldiers who stood beside him.

A conversation about courage, instinct, leadership, sacrifice and the mindset to keep moving when the limits have already been reached.

Having Lt Gen Satish Dua, PVSM, UYSM, SM, VSM write such generous words about Only Fools Fight Fair is an absolute honour.

His words are not merely an endorsement of the book, but a powerful recognition of the journey behind it — from a young boy with a dream to the demanding life of a Special Forces soldier.

When a distinguished military leader of his stature reads the story and acknowledges the journey with such generosity, the moment becomes truly special.

“Special Forces are the pride of Indian Army and the country.”

Those words carry immense weight.

For a soldier, few things can be more meaningful than having the journey of becoming one recognised by a leader who understands the courage, discipline, sacrifice and brotherhood that define the profession.

Thank you, Sir, for your generous words and for honouring the story of Only Fools Fight Fair.

Some words stay with you. These certainly will.

Deeply honoured. Deeply grateful. 🙏

Lt Gen Sagat Singh, PVSM: The General Who Never Lost a War

From the liberation of Goa to the defence of Nathu La and the decisive operations of the 1971 Bangladesh War, Lt Gen Sagat Singh, PVSM remains one of the most remarkable and unconventional commanders in the history of the Indian Army.

In this episode, we trace the extraordinary journey of a soldier who rose from humble beginnings to become a legendary battlefield commander.

In 1961, during Operation Vijay, Brigadier Sagat Singh and 50 Para Brigade advanced into Goa, overcoming mines, roadblocks and river obstacles to become the first Indian formation to reach Panaji.

In 1967, at Nathu La, Maj Gen Sagat Singh stood firm when Chinese forces challenged Indian positions. His decisive leadership and use of artillery during the confrontation helped restore confidence in the Indian Army after the setback of 1962.

But his defining achievement came in 1971.

As Commander of IV Corps, Lt Gen Sagat Singh, PVSM, played a crucial role in the Indian advance towards Dhaka. With the massive Meghna River standing in the way, he recognised an opportunity that could change the course of the campaign — using Mi-4 helicopters to airlift troops, weapons and supplies across the river.

The Meghna Heli Bridge became one of the most remarkable operations of the 1971 war. Thousands of troops and vital equipment were rapidly moved across the river, allowing Indian forces to advance towards Dhaka with unprecedented speed.

On 16 December 1971, Pakistan’s forces surrendered in East Pakistan, leading to the birth of Bangladesh.

This is the story of a commander who saw opportunities where others saw obstacles, took calculated risks, challenged conventional thinking and repeatedly led from the front.

Lt Gen Sagat Singh, PVSM — a soldier, a strategist and a commander who helped change the course of history.

Jai Hind 🇮🇳
