In this episode of The Syllabus of Life, I sit down with Lt Gen Sanjay Kulkarni, a distinguished soldier and leader from the 4 Kumaon Regiment of the Indian Army.

General Kulkarni is best known for leading the historic capture of Bilafond La during Operation Meghdoot in 1984, a defining moment in India’s defence history. Over his career, he has been awarded multiple gallantry and service medals for his remarkable service to the nation.

    The background and significance of Operation Meghdoot

    How the Siachen Glacier mission was planned and executed

    Untold war stories from the world’s highest battlefield

    Life in extreme conditions on Siachen
