One of the most unbelievable battle was fought in 1971 between India and Pakistan on the western front at Laungewala. It is a story of raw guts, grit and dogged determination of a handful of troops of the now famous 23 Punjab battalion of Indian army, which not only successfully checked the...

Some of the greatest generals who made sure India did not become an Islamic state just like Persia, Egypt, Arabia etc. did, are listed here, and I am sure very few outside India know them. http://hindurajput.blogspot.com/#Bappa_Rawal http://hindurajput.blogspot.com/#Prithviraj_Chauhan...
