In the light of the loss of 20 Indian soldiers killed in action in the #GalwanValley, #HighwayOnMyPodcast decided to dedicate this episode to our men and women who survive extreme conditions for our safety and well-being.
So, Rocky, Mayur, Abhinandan and Prashant take you to various #defencecampuses across the country, which they had the fortune to visit during their 24-episode stint of #JaiHind. They travel from the freezing cold of -25° Celsius locations to excruciatingly hot terrains where army personnel train in 49° Celsius heat.
The conversation begins with the group discussing their reactions to the Galwan Valley deaths. Rocky corrects Abhinandan when he uses the term “martyred”, explaining that he prefers the army terminology of “KIA”, or “killed in action”. Prashant remembers how cold, dark and harsh it gets in Galwan, and says, “I can’t imagine what they went through.”
Skipping his usual cheeky approach to life, Rocky, who lost his father in action during the 1971 war, passionately speaks about the futility of war. He describes the loss of reality that looms over talking heads calling for war from television studios, and the sheer respect he has for the forces.
