On 23 May 2026, braving sub-zero temps, avalanches & treacherous glacial tracks, #BengalSappers of BEG&C assisted in opening the revered Hemkund Sahib route and performed the inaugural pooja at 15,000 ft.

Return to Kashmir….in a new avatar…change is palpable in all spheres …..

1968.1969.1970.1971. Four phases. One man. A lifetime spent in silence so a nation could sleep peacefully. 🇮🇳 Ajit Doval chose a path where recognition was never guaranteed and success often meant remaining invisible. In 1968, while many young men dreamed of fame and comfortable lives, he entered a world where the most important victories could never be publicly celebrated. Because the most dangerous battles for a nation are often fought in silence. By 1975, as an IPS officer, Doval had already understood a truth few truly grasp: Real courage is rarely loud. It listens. Observes. Waits patiently. And acts only when necessary. He studied languages, cultures, and human psychology—not to impress the world, but to understand threats from the inside. Then came the years that would define his legacy. During some of India’s most sensitive internal security periods, Ajit Doval reportedly entered hostile environments unarmed, lived among adversaries, gathered intelligence from within, and turned information into one of India’s strongest invisible weapons. No cameras. No headlines. No applause. Only results. And today, by 2026, the world knows him as India’s National Security Advisor. But those who truly understand power know this: Ajit Doval is not respected because of his position. His position is respected because of him. His journey teaches one powerful lesson: Some heroes do not stand on borders holding rifles. They protect those borders from the shadows long before danger arrives. From a young officer to one of the most influential strategic minds in India’s security history, Ajit Doval’s life reminds us that true patriotism does not seek attention— it seeks impact. History remembers famous names. But nations survive because of a few silent warriors the world may never fully understand. 🇮🇳❤️ #AjitDoval #NationalSecurity #IndiaStrong #SilentWarrior #NationFirst #RealLifeHero #Patriotism #India 🇮🇳

Just so nostalgic to return and everytime there is this sense of deep association and of history … of a fabulous land, of potential, of prosperity … wish the best always to the people for peace and stability @TinyDhillon @LtGenDPPandey @ShaykhMinhaj @pzshabir @savvyghai @gauravcsawant @umaskai @UmaSudhindra
