Book Presentation to COAS: Honoring Military Leadership and Soldiering Spirit
Secunderabad, 26 Mar 2025: In a significant moment celebrating military leadership, resilience and the spirit of soldiering, General Upendra Dwivedi, PVSM, AVSM, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), was presented with two distinguished books: “Shooting Straight” by Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam (Retd) and “The Army in Me” by Colonel Bhupinder Singh Chib. The event underscored the Indian Army’s rich heritage and the invaluable experiences of its officers.
“Shooting Straight” is a compelling biography of Lieutenant General Rostum K. Nanavatty, a distinguished officer renowned for his exemplary leadership and strategic acumen. The book provides deep insights into his contributions to military operations and his role in shaping modern military thought. His legacy continues to inspire military leaders and strategists.
“The Army in Me” is a personal memoir by Colonel Bhupinder Singh Chib that delves into the values, discipline, and experiences that define a soldier’s life. It reinforces the message that the Indian Army is not just a career but a lifelong commitment to values greater than oneself.
Speaking on the occasion, General Upendra Dwivedi appreciated the literary contributions, highlighting their significance in preserving the ethos of the armed forces. “These books are not just narratives; they are testaments to the indomitable spirit of our armed forces. They will serve as guiding beacons for future generations of warriors, instilling in them the principles of leadership, sacrifice, and dedication to duty.”
Both books convey the unwavering spirit of the armed forces and serve as invaluable additions to military literature, offering readers—both within and beyond the defence community—profound lessons on leadership, strategic thinking, and the soldier’s commitment to the nation.
The presentation aligns with the Indian Army’s ongoing initiatives under the Year of Tech Absorption and the Decade of Transformation, reinforcing the commitment to continuous learning and evolution in modern warfare and military ethos.
