Chandigarh, January 19, 2020: “Missing in Action: The prisoners who never returned”, a comprehensive, first of its kind book on the issue of Indian prisoners of war, will be released on January 25.
The book release function followed by a discussion will be held at Chandigarh Press Club at 10.30 am with former Chief of the Army Staff General VP Malik being the chief guest.
Written by journalist Chander Suta Dogra, the book tells the story of India's soldiers who went missing in enemy territory while on daring missions during the 1965 and 1971 Indo-Pak wars.
The nation has forgotten them, though successive governments continue to make token acknowledgements about their missing status.
Over the last five decades, there have been scattered reports offering information piecemeal, but this is the first time the saga has been fully told.
The result of years of research, the book unearths startling revelations that shed new light on the subject.
Amid much hearsay and dismissive commentary, this book is an attempt to find answers to the question, 'What happened to these men?'
It also hopes to open up a debate on how soldiers are often used as pawns by governments, even as they pay lip-service to their cause.
