Chandigarh : On the concluding day of the three-day Military Literature fest at the Lake Club, Sector 1, a discussion on ‘India’s Most Fearless 2’, a book written by senior journalists and authors Rahul Singh and Shiv Aroor, was taken up.

Singh along with psychologist Renee Singh talked about the psychological aspects behind the brave act of military officers. The session was moderated by the resident editor of the Indian Express, Chandigarh, Manraj Grewal Sharma.

Discussing about wounded soldiers at the battlefield, Singh said after fighting against death, these men realise their true potential. The talk was shaped around his research experiences for writing the book.

Rationalising why these wounded soldiers return to the battlefield, Singh said, “These men attain a different level of consciousness. They experience a high that makes them realise the real power of human spirit.” “Therefore, they want to go back and die doing what they really loved,” he said.

Singh shared the first-hand accounts of the Indian military officers who were involved in the anti-terror encounters in the wake of the 2016 surgical strikes and many more. His book is a sequel to Aroor’s India’s Most Fearless and has fourteen stories of such men who display bravery in the line of duty.
