Forever In Operations, The 8 Mountain Division Of
From taking part in the 1971 war with Pakistan, counter-insurgency operations in the North-east and spearheading the counter-attack during the Kargil war, this formation of the Indian Army has been 'forever in operations'.
Four of its commanders have gone on to become army chiefs. This is the story of 8 Mountain Division, which was raised in 1963 in Nagaland, primarily to deal with the insurgency there and, subsequently, in Manipur. As the problem manifested itself in J&K, the force was relocated to the Valley in 1990.
Nine years later, its role changed during the Kargil intrusion and it successfully led the counter-attack.
This episode of 'Simply Nitin' comes to you from the headquarters of the 8 Mountain Division in Khumbathang, Ladakh.
And StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale shares interesting details about the formation, now helmed by a man more three decades after his father commanded it.

Lines " Forever in operations" is enough to give me goosebumps......leaving rest all 🇮🇳
Whenever you say Ladaak instead of Ladakh , it always brings a smile to my face as the frontier is actively facing threat and your pronunciation is a hindi variation of Attack. 😊. Superb coverage of our armed forces on this channel.
Nostalgia rekindled, so many amazing memories of my time in the 8 Mtn Div, thank you Nitin ji🙏
Thank you sir I have served in 8 mtn div at khumbathang
Thanks and great information.
So many stories so many happiest days ... My heart is still there .... Motherunit ❤❤❤❤
Very great . Sir, plz also visit Andaman & Nicobar Tri Service Command and explain the mega Project of Indian Defence Stabishments for the Melaca Strait + also do a detailed episode on P-8 Posadiane Multiple Plan + Indian Navy other critical projects including On Submarine
@2:34 pretty clear who brought the insurgency under control . Deg Teg Fateh ⚔
What a sight it would be when the son as chief of the division salutes the father as a veteran and retd. COAS in the celebrations of 25 years of Kargil war.
Thanks for useful information.
Proud to be part of it long time back in Nagaland
Thank you Nitin, for the information and knowledge.
Great Nitin as always!!!
As usual, great.thanks
Very informative and exceptionally presented
Thank you nitin sir ji
Great information . Jai Hind
Lovely Post 👍
We people of India sleep soundly knowing that our bravehearts are always awake and alert to defend us... Respect 🙏🇮🇳
Indians reporting about the Indian military is always narrated in terms of Commanders as opposed to from Jawan/soldier PoV of western reporting. That makes Indian reporting very "elitist" and "top-down". Good to know that 4 commanders became Army Chiefs. But they did not achieve everything by themselves. They achieved by riding on the shoulders of Jawans, so a few stories about the soldiers, junior, middle rank commanders will provide balanced narrative.
Very informative!
Such great details and exceptional way explain our Indian armed forces division. ❤
Awesome.❤
Great sir ❤
Quality information
Shukriya Nitin ji for the interesting narration of the history of 8Div. Proud of the Indian Army. JaiHind 🫡 🙏 to our Veer Jawans
Excellent report!!!
Jai Hind jai Bharat jai shri Ram
Typically thorough and informative presentation by Nitin Gokhale. Keep it up! Fascinating to learn of the generational history of 8 Mt. Div and other formations. Bought Nitin’s book, Beyond NJ9842…an utterly fascinating read! Kudos to Nitin and homage of course to the intrepid men and women of the armed services! Respect and Regard! 🙏
Very informative and interesting episode
Splendid view of khumbathang with saliskot
Pls do an episode on Indian submarine program.
Thanks!

All Mountain Divs , which are primarily in a defensive role should also become offensive in its operations , hen ever needed.
why are you fulfilling my dream ( visiting each and every place of army ) sir?
Sir . Where is Nyoma Airbase Upgradation Video ?
As an Indian , I say that Indian defence is to be developed to large extent still.

Mountain division of army pithoragarh uttarakhand..you must visit and make a video..for us..
Low volume. Needs higher base volume
I believe that during its deployment in nagaland it was known as 81 mountain brigade. It was headed by a Brigadier but was a division strength brigade.

buddy, work on improving your speaking skills, your diction. Your content is amazing, but listening to you is irritating. You do too many "aannhh-aannhh" while ypu speak.

This could have been completely shot inside studio. They went all the up there for getting a background. Omg.
