Rachna Bisht on when the Gorkhas fought with Khukuris

The Filter Koffee Podcast

In this episode, Karthik speaks to Rachna Bisht, Author of 1971 - Charge of the Gorkhas. Karthik and Rachna talk about the recreation of critical scenes of the 1971 war in the book, her storytelling point of view of war which delicately juggles between facts and emotions, and the 'prisoners of war', the issue that has been ongoing between India and Pakistan. They also talk about Rachna growing up in an Army family and the tale of how a Gorkha Rifle's regiment led the last ever Khukuri attack in modern military history. All this and much more on this episode of The Filter Koffee Podcast.
