Men of Steel - Bravehearts of the Indian Military by Tanushree Podder

True Stories from 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War to 2020 Galwan Valley Skirmish | Books on Indian Army for Teens

From the frigid heights of the Himalayas to the scorching deserts of the west and the humid wetlands in the east, India’s borders mirror the nation’s diversity. Amidst these rugged landscapes, Indian soldiers battle not only the enemy but also the unforgiving terrain.

Within these pages, meet extraordinary heroes like Captain Neikezhakuo Kenguruse, Captain Keishing Clifford Nongrum, and Lance Naik Albert Ekka. Their valour, akin to that of Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, Naik Digendra Kumar and Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, forever serves as a guiding light, inspiring us with courage and resilience.

Covering significant military events—the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the Kargil War in 1999, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack, the Balakot airstrike, and the 2020 Galwan Valley skirmish—these eighteen warriors consistently placed their country above everything else. Recipients of numerous gallantry awards, their sacrifices and brave deeds resonate within the walls of the Indian Military Academy and echo in the hearts of the people of India.
