This is the firsthand account of the induction of Author and his Brigade into Sri Lanka on 11 October 1987 to form part of the Indian Peace Keeping Force (I.P.K.F.) and immediately on landing; after a daylong air journey from Gwalior in central India to Palaly Airfield on the Northern tip of Sri Lanka; his launch into fierce battles, against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (L.T.T.E.), an ally turned bête noire, which he fought for a year thereafter.As per the Indo-Sri Lanka Agreement, signed on 29 September 1987, between Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi and President of Sri Lanka J.R. Jayewardene, I.P.K.F. was sent to insurgency-stricken Sri Lanka to help restore peace in the Country. But the Agreement sadly failed and still more, digressing from the objectives of the Agreement, I.P.K.F. was ordered to launch an offensive against the L.T.T.E. Narrated here are many less known facts like the 'Quick Reaction Force' (Q.R.F.), under the Author's command, staged forward to Bengaluru, for rescuing President Jayewardene and his family, in case of a coup in Colombo, to overthrow him as also L.T.T.E.s decimation in 2009 by General Fonseka's Forces and his subsequent politically inflicted fall and rise.Twenty-four years after the withdrawal of I.P.K.F. from Sri Lanka, Author revisited the Jaffna Battles zone' in 2014 to see for himself the changes in life and subsistence of the Tamils in the Island nation. Albeit there was an apparent peace in the land, the politico-economic tribulations of the Tamil people were still writ large on the war-torn landscape of the place.

Starting his education in a local school, he holds degrees of Master of Arts (M.A.) from Allahabad University, Master of Science (M.Sc.) from Madras University, Bachelor of Law (LLB) from Delhi University and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from Jiwaji University, Gwalior.An Infantry Officer, commissioned into the Indian Army on 17 December 1961, the Author has been a faculty member at the College of Combat, MHOW, and the Defence Services Staff College, Wellington. In the service of the nation, he fought against the Chinese in 1962, against the Pakistanis in 1965, and again against the Pakistanis in the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. For many years, he carried out counter-insurgency operations in the most inhospitable terrain of the North Eastern region of India.In March 1993, as the Force Commander of the National Security Guard (N.S.G.), he le
