Speaking at an event held here to mark the 25th anniversary of the Kargil war, he also said “We must not repeat the same mistakes”.
War and warfare are evolving at a very, very rapid pace. Their character and nature are changing rapidly because of transformation in technology and ongoing geopolitical flux, he said.
“The memories of sacrifices made by our soldiers must become a part of our national folklore, as indeed it has become with the Kargil war,” Gen Chauhan said.
Saga, bravery and fortitude must continue to inspire future generations of the youth as well as soldiers who join the Indian armed forces, the CDS said.
Besides recalling memories of war, it is also important to look at its aftermath and draw useful lessons for the future, he said. (Agencies)
