- In this episode, we uncover the extraordinary life of Lt. Col. Niranjan Singh Salaria, from his early days at Punjab Public School, Nabha, to his illustrious military career as a young Lieutenant and later as Lieutenant Colonel. Hailing from the district of Pathankot, Lt. Col. Salaria embarked on his journey of valor and resilience from his formative years at Punjab Public School, Nabha.
Known affectionately as “Chutt,” Lt. Col. Salaria earned this nickname due to his sharp talents in sports, especially boxing, and his remarkable agility on the gymnastics team. He was not only a standout athlete but also a natural leader, leading the school's boxing team to victory and receiving numerous accolades for his prowess on the sports field.
But Lt. Col. Salaria's true test of courage came during his tenure in the military. As a member of The Dogra Regiment, he etched his name in military history by leading the first-ever strategic foot column to the Siachen Glacier in April 1984. His daring expedition to physically occupy the Siachen Glacier proved instrumental in safeguarding India’s sovereignty in the region.
Despite the challenges and adversities he faced, Lt. Col. Salaria remained steadfast in his commitment to serving his nation. His unwavering resolve and indomitable spirit earned him the title of the “Hero of Siachen,” a testament to his extraordinary bravery and leadership on the battlefield.
Join us as we honor the legacy of Lt. Col. Niranjan Singh Salaria and shed light on his remarkable achievements that continue to inspire generations of young cadets at the Officer Training Academy. His story is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Indian Army and a reminder of the sacrifices made by our brave soldiers to safeguard the nation’s security and sovereignty.
Don’t miss this riveting episode of MOR Talks as we pay tribute to a true hero, whose actions shaped the course of history and secured India’s victory in the face of adversity.

आप पर हमे गर्व है ।
A Big Salute to Col Salaria Sir. Hats off , the Real Tiger n Hero
Yes, he's indeed a great soldier and leader. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Dark side of our national life where people don't get recognized for their dedication and disregard for death. You are our Bharat Ratna.
Thank you Lt. Col Salaria fir your service to the Nation.
He and his team deserves an award for their self less service and dedication to the country's cause.
Lt.Col. Niranjan Salaria was my classmate in PPS, Nabha. Very good sportsman.
I am absolutely moved by the heroic mission of Col.niranjan singh slaria , great human sacrifice by him and his troops who undertook the mission of being at the Saichin and establishing the very first post before pakistan army could occupy . It is a honour to learn that he is from the Dogra Regiment and related to col. jaswant his brother from 3rd Dogras . My late father Brig. U.B.S. Verma was his first C.O. as well as later he was also the Dogra centre cimmandant in 1962 .
Col. Slaria should be honoured for his sacrifice and valour even today . He is a living legend of the Indian Army .
Yes, he is unrecognised hero of India. Thank you for your response, jai Hind
*A Tribute to the unsung hero of Siachen.* Respected Salaria sir, what an inspiring and professionally articulated interview conducted by Maj Gen Yash Mor. *This has apprised the environment about the complete and truthful account of the operation conducted by you in the worlds highest battlefield gifted by you to the nation not known to the senior hierarchy, the nation and people who matter.* The first foot column led by you is an act unparalleled in the history of our country. The truth is now known to everyone and we’re sure that the senior leadership would know the hard facts and true version of the gallantry displayed by you and your team of officers, jcos and the brave Ladakh Scouts troops. We pray to God Almighty and Jwala mata to Shower her blessings to bestow the highest award possible to you. The nation salutes you for your gallant action that gifted the Siachen Glacier to our nation, thus scripting history for every one to remember. I must compliment you for your flawless memory and narration of the great operation with such clarity of thought, authority and conviction. Gen Yash Mor deserves accolades & appreciation for conducting the interview in a highly professional and balanced manner. This interview must be circulated all over to reach every Indian to become aware of your gallant act and derive max inspiration, strength & motivation for the future generations to emulate.
Proud of you *Old Nabhaite* sir and always pray for your long healthy , successful and-happy life ahead and your valour getting due recognition very soon. *Ever Onwards and upwards* Regards *Maj Gen (Dr) Sandeep Sharma, retd, The Dogra Regiment*
It was a singular honour to interview Col Salaria. I am happy to have brought his story to limelight. He's a national treasure. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
OP MEGHDOOT.....Today it has been 40 yrs since UNNIS Kumaon (my paltan)was launched on the Siachen glacier as part of OP Meghdoot..Respectful homage to our martyrs who never returned.May the almighty continue to grant the str and fortitude to the widows of the martyrs ...Time has gone by,but to those of us who were part of UNNIS during those fateful days ,the memories of ,the trials and tribulations that the bn went through during the tenure are indelible.The bn as it moved on, as added to its glory and is a time tested bn both in Ops and peace.But, OP Meghdoot will always remain the pinnacle of this glory...Kalika mata ki Jai....🙏🏻🙏🏻
A few corrections/ additions to your podcast. 19 Kumaon was the first unit to be launched in op meghdoot alongwith a company of 4 Kumaon under Capt Kulkarni ( retd as Lt Gen). 19 Kumaon walked 260 kms with full battle loads including Mortars and Rcl crossing Zojila and Khardungla on foot. We were the ones who occupied the southern and central glacier outfoxing the Pakis. We lost 19 jawans and one officer in an avalanche. The basecamp war memorial is living testimony to that. The book 'Gorichen to Siachen ' Written by Brig DK Khanna described in detail all that happened. Can I suggest that you do a podcast with him to further bring out the hitherto unknown facts as a tribute to these heroes as well.
This is indeed a remarkable day in history of India, countless soldiers contributed to this great achievement. Credit to all in the leadership chain of command starting with Mrs Gandhi, who was always ready for military success, staring from 1971 war. The military leadership was ready for the challenge, we surprised Pakistan Army by a few months. The units which were part of the operation have each contributed however, lets not forget the value of the Ladakh scouts, they were the toughest of the lot. We are proud of 19 as a young battalion they did an outstanding task. I am glad to bring four podcasts on the Siachen and many more are in the offing. Thanks for your inputs. Jai Hind
A big salute Lt Col niranjan salariya
Gen yash Mor sir,
My father SS-22151 late capt J S Punia was also alumni of OTS.He passed out in June 1969 and joined 19th Rajputana Rifles On 15 June 1969 and killed in Action on 4.12.1971. He was the 2 IC of Alfa coy in 1971 war.he was an outstanding national player of volleyball, basketball, kabbaddi, and athletics.his height was 6.5,
Following the highest traditions of army he lost his life.He was really deserve the highest gallantry award PARAMVEER CHAKRA but unfortunately the recommendation was sent very late so got rejected.
You can ask his company commander Lt.Gen Raj kadyan (then Maj.)about Capt Punia's bravery.
And how he lost his gallantry award. He did not get the recognition he should have got.
I humbly request you to interview retd Lt Gen R S Kadyan.
Thank you for connecting, he must be indeed a great officer, most sportsmen make very good leaders and fighters in wartime. I will certainly get in touch with Gen Kadyan. You must be very proud of your father and his legacy. Jai Hind
Salute to your father ❤❤
Really very good but there are indeed many such unsung heroes. I salute them.
Grand salute to you Lt Col Salaria! We are eternally grateful and indebted to you and all our unsung heroes in uniform!! Jai Hind 🇮🇳
We all can see the Josh in Lt.Col Niranjan Singh !🔥🔥🇮🇳
Salute dear sir you are living legend
Truely thrilling was not arae pf him but yash mor saheb salute to you for bringing one after another trye hero of hindustan.-jaihind har har mahadev mahadev.
Yash great service to all
Thanks sir. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Salute to Lt Col Salaria🙏
We salute you. The whole country salutes you and proud of you what you have done for the country. ❤❤
Thank you Lt. Col Salaria fir your service to the Nation.
He and his team deserves an award for their self less service and dedication to the country's cause.
Sad to see that in the Indian Army which is a synonym of recognition to the fittest and brave, Lt Col Niranjan Salaria neither got the decoration nor the conversion to PC . GOV SHOULD DO SOMETHING FOR HIM. PLEASE GEN. YASH MOR SIR HELP TO GET THIS TO SENIOR OFFICIALS IN THE ARMY
It is an irony of life... some deserving do not get the award. The legacy lives on...
Yes, that is true. Many are never given their due. But remember Gita says just do your duty.
Gen. Kulkarni got the awards. Mind u he had Volunteered. Deserves retrospective awards. Army chief are u listning.
Great respect for sir
I have grown up hearing the stories of the heroes of battles but hearing the story of this unsung hero my heart is full of pride and felt very emotional while hearing his story
I salute you Salaria sir❤
Salute to Gen Saab For bringing Lt Col Salaria.....whole Nation is proud of you Saab Thankew for your Service....Jai Hind 🇮🇳 Jwala Mata ki Jai .....🇮🇳
Salute Lt Col Niranjan Singh Salariya। The country is proud of you, this is even greater than the Paramveer Chakra।
Salaria sb.still looks fit and full of life...thousands of salutes sir..
A big salute to Lt Col Salaria Sir.Indeed there are many unsung heroes in the Indian Army.jaihind.
No words to thank Col Salaria, a national hero (and his troops) for their contribution in rescuing Siachen. A great tale of grit, determination,iron resolve, unmatched bravery and sense of duty. Salute, Salute…. Having flown as an IAF Helicopter pilot I thought I knew everything about the Glacier. Gen Mor thanks to you I realised there is still a lot of wonderful unknown lore out there. ‘Dil mange more’. Let em keep coming. Thank you Sir.
Thanks, soon need to get an airforce pilot too to recount his side of the story. Siachen is a glorious event in our military history folklore and more such podcasts are required. Please share with your friends and family
Thank you sir for getting such podcasts ❤
My favorite 😢Mama Ji...!!! I'm Rajbir Singh, Doublee and Lily's younger brother...!
I salute Lt col salariya sir with my whole heart.❤❤👏👏
Just excellent! Words r too less to express the appreciation. Govt must honour such valiant contribution of Col Salaria, the unsung superhero. Really great sir. Regards 💐
Thank you very much, Jai Hind , the nation is safe with such leaders.
Salaria - Sau lehariya! He is a powerhouse of energy! May he is awarded what he deserves! And that would be the day when his lovely wife would smile from the stars and he would look at the sky, smiling, with tears in his eyes. God bless him!
Now the nation will know about him.
Thank you Gen Mor! His story has long been unheard. @@yashmor8439
Jai Hind Respected Sir. Good evening. Excellent coverage. From Trivandrum.
Wow, yaar! 4 members of Salaria family in the armed forces and so illustrious including a PVC!
Proud of having met him personally,a great personality
Jai hind both of you Sir Love from my heart❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Lt. Col. Niranjan Singh Salaria is hero of your nation Jai Hind Sir Again ❤❤❤
फौज को नजदीक से देखने,फौजीयो से सुनने और उनके साहित्य को पढने के बाद
ऐसा अनुभव हुआ कि एवार्ड देने मे कभी कभी चूक हो जाती है। जिन्हे मिलता है उसपर कोई संदेह नही है ।
The achievements of Col Salaria are commendable.But it has been blown out of proportions.My bn 19 Kumaon walked from Baltal to Leh and then to base camp a total of approx 260 km....just to say that he was not the only person who went beyond the call of duty in OP Meghdoot....
Operation Meghdoot started on 13 April 1984 . 19 Kumoan was inducted at a later stage in May 1984.
A lot of units and personalities were involved in this superhuman effort. We must ack his contribution, since he was the leader of the foot column, which largely went unnoticed in the recognition. Over all we must pay our tributes to such unsung heroes of mother India. Jai Hind
Wow, So courageous , brave and commanding task. Salute to Mr. Salaria and tean. These brave souls are real owner of country. Politician must learn something from Indian Army.
Tougher than the toughest, braver than the bravest. Real Heros
Big salute to col salaria for the victory of siachen and bring glory to the nation
Forgotten Hero and an Inspiration to all.
JAI HIND SIR

Respected Sir, try to invite Mr. Syed Akbaruddin (IFS) to this podcast as he is one who can explain the real situation in middle East and the mindset.
Thank you & regards.
Pure delight to hear from our hero. Somehow , the Indian army was not fair to him ...be it promotion or recognition.
Very sad. The army can still give all the road column soldiers Sena Medal for their heroism and bravery .
Yes, that is why I recorded this podcast
@@yashmor8439 sir , if you can push their case in the ministry or with the military top brass ( recognition for these🫡 brave men ) , I shall truly be grateful 🫡.

My uncle Lt col kssandhu was also vo of 19 sikh
Sir - for the benefit of mountaineers/history enthusiasts, would you be able to clarify some of the glaciers/points on the route that are not very clear in the audio. At around 29:30 and 29:50, Lt Col Salaria mentioned traversing East from Sia La towards other points to open routes. Sounded like Tarshem Glacier (was it Teram Shehr instead) and another point is mentioned at 29:50? Thank you.
