Col Megh Singh Rathore : The Founder 9 Para Commando

Major Megh Singh the daredevil maverick would have remained confined to a few most deserving paragraphs in the memoirs penned by General Harbakhsh Singh, the Western Army Commander during 1965 Indo-Pak War. 

Over the years exploits of Meghdoot Force of Megh Singh began to be confused with the ongoing OP MEGHDOOT in Siachen. However now this gripping biography of Colonel  Megh Singh establishes him as the  very Foundation Stone of the Indian Special Forces.

The book brings out  in the minutest detail possible, the dare devilry of a handful of men behind the enemy lines during the 1965 Indo-Pak War,   led by  an audacious Megh Singh. Even Information on  his military career  had major gaps  which   has now been collated, authenticated and fully recorded.

Colonel Awadhesh Kumar has not only highlighted the seminal contribution of Megh Singh  to the idea of Special Forces, his gifting of NARAANASTRA – 9 PARA SF to the nation  but has also brought out the contribution of this outstanding soldier to the Bangladesh Liberation Struggle.

For any one interested in the founder of the Special Forces (initially known as Para Commando), this book is a must read .
