These two absolute chads of the Indian army are going to retire this Monday.
Wanted one of them to be COAS, but seems like they both were rejected by political echlons (according to
this article at least).
I had my fingers crossed for General Joshi . He has all the experience required to be a war leader .
Lets check out his accomplishments throughout his career
1) commsioned into 13 Jakrif
2) commanded the same battalion during CI Ops in J and K
3) battalion sent to kargil , under his command the battalion won 2 PVCs , no other unit has the privelege of winning two PVCs in a single war , he himself won a VrC
4) commanded a brigade in Ladakh
5) Commanded 3 div in Leh
6) commanded XIV corps in Leh
7) Took over as Northern Army commander
What an illustrious career
8) Coordinated India's Op Snow Leopard against China for whole Two years .
He is an expert on china and has good knowledge of the mandarin language
He's the perfect candidate for COAS
