People in India still havent acquired taste in reading much about the conventional or uncoventional war fare . Though there are a number of books on the wars fought by the Indian Armed forces in contemporary history ie after independence in 1947 , most of them are written by the members of the armed forces themselves, Dont get me wrong but i still feel people need to connect more with the military books highlighting the adversities faced by men in uniform and the grit shown by them in those tough times.
Here are some of the many books you may read to get an insight of the various wars fought by our armed forces
