Amid the devastation, Indian forces, led by Major Ranjit Singh Dyal and his 1 Para Battalion, retaliated by advancing into Pakistani territory and ultimately capturing the strategic Haji Pir Pass. However, the triumph was short-lived, as the pass was returned under the Tashkent Agreement between Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri and President (Field Marshal) Mohammed Ayub Khan. This was a bitter pill for the soldiers who had fought tirelessly. This book chronicles their courage and sacrifice, offering a poignant glimpse into the lives of those who won the Haji Pir Pass.
