Description

Lieutenant General K.J.S. "Tiny" Dhillon, a Rajputana Rifles infantry veteran with over four decades of military service, has held various positions in Kashmir. In this book, "Tiny" Dhillon opens a hitherto closed window to both Kashmir and his life. He tells fascinating stories about the most difficult situations he faced, from the time he was three years old up to the challenges he faced during his numerous postings in Kashmir between 1988 and 2020, where it was his duty to strike a balance between counterterrorism operations on the one hand and the use of military soft power on the other. Dhillon recounts his entire experience, from his early years to his appointment as the Commander of the Chinar Corps, with Kashmir playing a crucial role throughout. As a first-hand account, the book touches on and demystifies the myths, half-truths, whats, ifs and whys of the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits; the barbarous attack on an Indian security convoy in Pulwama district, in which forty CRPF personnel were killed; the Balakot air strikes; and the abrogation of Article 370 and its impact on the socio-political, economic and law-and-order situation, among other incidents. It takes us behind the scenes to bring out the nuances of various intriguing developments at a critical juncture in the history of J&K. Anecdotal, candid and evocative, Kitne Ghazi Aaye, Kitne Ghazi Gaye brings to light the true stories from this Army veteran's life. It focuses on the personal, professional and, most importantly, family life of a soldier in the Army, and will not only provide an insight into the trials and tribulations he faced but will also inspire a wide spectrum of readers, especially young defence aspirants.
