About
Author
|
|
Just before the 1971 war, Captain Sood was promoted
to the rank of Major and appointed Deputy Military
Assistant to the Chief of Army Staff. In addition
to his duties as Dy MA, he was also carrying out
the duties of ADC since the second ADC had reverted
to his unit on their mobilization from Delhi.
It was thus that the author had a ringside view
of the "War of 1971." He left to attend the Staff College Course at Camberley in the UK in the end of September 1972.Having done the job of 'Brigade Major' in Mizoram and Assam, he commanded the 1st Battalion of the 8th Gorkha Rifles, the 'Mechanized Battalion' of the Gorkhas. Having attended important courses like the 'Higher Command' and 'National Defence College Course' where he was also an instructor, he went on to command the 26 Infantry Division in Jammu and Kashmir. On 31st March 1998, he took retirement from the Army when he was Chief of Staff at 12 Corps.

Landmark Churches Of India
Maj. Gen.(Retd) Shubhi Sood |
 Christianity came to India much before it went to the West. There are eight main religions practiced in India. While four of these are indigenous to the land, four of these came from the West. The religions that came from these West, were, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity and Islam while the homegrown include Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. Interestingly, Judaism came to and flourished in Kerala, following the escape of the Jews to India after the conquest of Judea in 586 B.C., while Christianity arrived in India with Apostle Thomas in 52 A.D. Be that as it may, many Keralites became Christians even before St. Peter reached Rome. Thus it will be seen that Kerala Christians have longer history than that of Christians of many of the European countries. |

Bhutan:100 years of Wangchuck vision
Special message from Mrs. Sonia Gandhi
By:
Maj. Gen.(Retd) Shubhi Sood |
 |
Scholars are generally
agreed that the evolution of Bhutan as a modern state
can be attributed to four major events. These are, the
advent of Buddhism in Bhutan with the arrival of Guru
Padmasambhava in the 8th century AD; establishment of
the Drukpa Kargue Sect by Phajo Drugom Shigpo in 13th
century AD; the unification of Bhutan under a central
authority by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in 17th century
AD and the coming about of a hereditary monarchy under
King Ugyen Wangchuck in the early twentieth century.

"Leadership
Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw"
Second
Revised Edition-2009
By: Maj. Gen. Shubhi Sood
|
|
With the passing away of The Field Marshal on 27 June
2008, it was appropriate to include a chapter on his
last days. This therefore called for publication of
a "Second Revised Edition-2009." In this edition
care has been taken to eliminate some of the errors
from the first edition apart from inclusion of some
new facts that had been missed out in the last edition.
The book is also being translated into Hindi so that
it is available to a larger audience. This is being
done by Prabhat Prakashan from Delhi.

First book by the author
"Younghusband: Troubled Campaign" |
|
 His
stance, that ancient covenants forbade him from interacting
with foreigners, especially, since he was in touch with the
Russians through one of his emissaries, does point a finger
at the conduct of affairs of the state.
