IT’S been 22 years since Pakistan’s perfidious intrusions in the Kargil sector brought the country to the brink of war. This article is not about why and how Pakistan stabbed us in the back and totally surprised the polity and the military, but it is a tribute to the young officers and men of 8 Mountain Division, which I had the honour and privilege to command.
