India's Steel Resolve (Army, Navy, and Air Force in Action)

It gives me immense pride and satisfaction to present "India's Steel Resolve: Army, Navy, and Air Force in Action" to readers. This book is not merely a documentation of historical events or an enumeration of military facts—it is a tribute to the indomitable spirit, resilience, and strategic brilliance of India's armed forces.
Since the harrowing days of 1962, India's defense capabilities have transformed beyond recognition. The nation that once suffered the indignity of unpreparedness has today risen to be counted among the most formidable military powers globally. This book narrates that powerful story—of defeat turned into strength, of lessons learned, and of a resolute commitment to national security.
The work is divided into three comprehensive parts. Part A traces the evolution and unsung heroics of the Indian Army. Part B journeys through the Indian Navy's historic and modern maritime endeavors. Part C sheds light on the Indian Air Force's pivotal humanitarian and defense missions. Together, these sections capture the layered story of India's military might—not only as warriors in battle but also as guardians of peace and protectors of humanity.
I sincerely hope this book enlightens readers, stirs national pride, and pays due homage to those who serve, have served, and will serve this great nation with unwavering dedication.
