Siachen! An isolated world within this world situated in the 6,000-metre high icy mountains of the Himalayas. The world where temperature ranges between -20? and -55? Celsius. The world where Indian Army’s lion-hearted Jawans and officers guard our border in the face of indescribable hazards. Originally published in Gujarati by Harshal Pushkarna–editor of the Gujarati language knowledge magazine ‘Safari’, this book is the culmination of Harshal Pushkarna’s personal experiences during his visits to Siachen and the exhaustive interviews of our intrepid Jawans and officers deployed amid the extreme conditions of Siachen.
