Battle of Nangi Tekri 1971 | The Forgotten Indo-Pak War Battle | 21 Punjab Veterans

In this special episode of Monks & Warriors, we bring you the forgotten story of the Battle of Nangi Tekri, 1971 — one of the most daring offensive operations of the Indo-Pak War. In the Poonch sector, where most battles were defensive, 21 Punjab was given a rare and extremely difficult task: capture the heavily defended Nangi Tekri complex, known to Pakistan as Khaki Tekri. What followed was a fierce battle through minefields, artillery shelling, machine-gun fire, darkness, mountains, and impossible terrain. Veterans Brig Parvinder Singh, Lt Col JS Chawla, and Lt Col V Chaturvedi revisit the battle they witnessed as young officers. They share how Indian soldiers cleared mines manually under enemy observation, faced relentless shelling, occupied dangerous posts, and launched a bold night assault on 10 December 1971. This is not just a story of capturing a post. It is a story of leadership, sacrifice, courage, brotherhood, and the unbreakable spirit of the Indian Army. From the bravery of 21 Punjab to the sacrifice of soldiers like Sepoy Avtar Singh, Vir Chakra, this episode brings forward a chapter of Indian military history that deserves to be remembered. This is the story of Nangi Tekri. This is the story of 21 Punjab. This is the battle history forgot. 📺 Watch now on Monks & Warriors Timestamp: 00:00 - Highlight 01:25 -Introduction 07:15 – 21 Punjab’s Role in the Operation 09:40 – Minefield Clearing Before the Attack 12:52 – Intelligence Gathering & Listening Posts 18:05 – CRP Post Reconnaissance & Tracer Fire Incident 23:46 – Importance of Capturing Nangi Tekri 27:55 – 3 December: War Begins in Poonch Sector 30:31 – Pakistan Occupies CRP Post 36:14 – Indian Army Recaptures CRP Post 48:00 – Final Assault Orders for Nangi Tekri 54:00 – Four-Phase Attack Plan Explained 59:10 – Nangi Tekri Captured 01:04:44 – Enemy Machine-Gun Fire & 9 Para Commando Support 01:10:43 – Sacrifice of Lt Pushpendra Vaid 01:12:34 – Logistics, Ammunition & Evacuation Support 01:15:48 – Gallantry of Sepoy Avtar Singh 01:22:50 – Outro Our Official Youtube Channels⤵︎ 🔹 Monks and Warrior – by Kaushal & Kaushalendra 👉    / @monkswarriors   🔹 The Debrief: Mind Over Battle 👉    / @thedebriefmindoverbattle   🔹 Expeditions by Monks & Warriors 👉    / @expeditions.monks.warriors   🔹 Monks & Warriors (Clips) 👉    / @monkswarriorsclips   Our Social Media Handles⤵︎ Instagram 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉   / kash210000   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉   / kaushalendra_sf   🔹 Monks & Warriors 👉   / monksnwarriors   Facebook 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉   / kaushal.kashyap.39   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉   / 61572485833319   🔹 Monks & Warriors 👉   / monkswarriors   Linkedin 🔹 Col Kaushal Kashyap 👉  / kaushal-kashyap-778b98178   🔹 Lt Col Kaushalendra Singh 👉  / kaushi19raj   Spotify 🎧 Listen to us on Spotify 👉 https://open.spotify.com/show/0VAXbGv...
