Published by Penguin Veer, the book details his unique journey as the first ethnic Gorkha officer to achieve the three-star rank of Lieutenant General in the Indian Army. Instead of the Gorkha Rifles, he was uniquely commissioned into The Grenadiers, eventually rising to command a frontline corps along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and retiring as the Military Secretary at Army HQ. Beyond his personal military career, the book covers: • The culture, traditions, and distinct history of the Indian Gorkha community. • Geopolitical insights into India-Nepal relations and India-Myanmar affairs (where he served as a defence attaché). • Reflections on challenging long-standing stereotypes to drive institutional change.
