Amarinder Singh

September one, early morning in the Chhamb sector.

So th-their idea was brilliant plan as General Har- Harbans Singh calls it, and also, [clears throat] also Captain Amrinder Singh and Lieutenant General TS Mao Shergill, who've written a wonderful book called The Monsoon War.

This was a brill- brilliant move, not just on paper, but also on ground, and it made very quick progress.

And the idea in this case was that this move, this big armored thrust will take Akhnoor, cut off the highway to the rest of the valley, bottle up all the Indian forces there, and either they will surrender or they will have to rise fi-- or, or they will have to die fighting or they'll be starved to death, or the people of Kashmir will rise, or maybe the UN will get involved.
