Episode description

In celebration of the 50th episode of "In Our Defence," the show's host, Dev Goswami, and "Def-Savvy" Abhishek Bhalla are joined by special guest Major Samar Toor. With extensive experience serving in Siachen, South Sudan, and during the conflict in Kashmir, Major Toor offers unique insights into the cultural dynamics of the Indian army.

In the first part of the discussion, the trio engages in a thought-provoking conversation about Major Toor's experiences in Siachen, and explores the “misconception” that army personnel are known to be “abusive”. Major Toor shares his perspective and offers a candid look into the cultural diversity within the Indian army, where individuals from different communities unite under a common name, the regiment.

Furthermore, Major Toor talks about his spiritual journey and how he became a part of the infantry. He relives his experience of “challenging his commanding officer to send him to the toughest post in Siachen”.

Join the discussion to hear Major Toor's captivating stories and gain a deeper understanding of the cultural dynamics within the Indian army.
