Speaking at an event here to mark the 25th anniversary of the Kargil war, he also said, “We must not repeat the same mistakes.”
War and wars are evolving at a very, very fast pace. Their character and nature are changing rapidly due to the transformation of technology and the ongoing geopolitical flux, he said.
“The memories of the sacrifices made by our soldiers must become part of our national folklore, as indeed the Kargil war has done,” General Chauhan said.
The saga, bravery and fortitude should continue to inspire future generations of youth as well as soldiers joining the Indian armed forces, the CDS said.
In addition to recalling the memories of war, it is also important to look at its consequences and draw useful lessons for the future, he said. (Agencies)
