À propos de cet audio
In this episode of The Crux, we explore life on the LoC, beyond headlines and policy, through the eyes of a soldier.
Join us as we speak with Lt Col (Retd) Mayur Ambastha, who served in the Indian Army for decades, including counter-insurgency roles in Jammu & Kashmir and a UN peacekeeping mission in Sudan.
Tune in to hear his insights on what it takes to serve at the border, the mental and physical strain, family separations, troop preparedness during escalations like Operation Sindoor. We also explore the transition from combat to civilian life, and what support veterans need to find purpose beyond the uniform.
