संवाद # 198: This Indian Army Major Was Court Martialed in Kargil War | Manish Bhatnagar
Manish Bhatnagar, a former Major in the Indian Army, is widely known for being the first officer to report the initial Pakistani intrusions during the Kargil War in 1999. Despite his early warnings, the intelligence was overlooked by the higher command, leading to significant consequences. Major Bhatnagar has since become a vocal advocate for accountability and transparency within the military, especially concerning the lapses during the Kargil conflict. His experiences and insights offer a compelling perspective on the challenges and responsibilities faced by those in uniform.
