Such stories make a person more grateful for his privileges in life which exist because we are born in a peaceful country. Certainly, for every person who has it bad, somebody has it worse. Thank you to both the good Sirs for such ethereal stories. Jai Hind!
This has to be one of the best podcasts, because a normal podcast host could never ask such detailed questions. Best wishes for this channel's growth. Jai Hind, Col. Kaushal Sir!
Abhi 20 min hi dekha hai aur I'm enjoying it.... I have to rush.. Will watch later remaining later on... Cashy sir keep it up .. Thank u for giving wonderful insight abt the forces
It was horrifying story.... just blessed that I'M born in India and our soldiers are helping other countries in this situation. Samar Toorr sir, I'm trying to join the force
Very informative. Having served in Uganda as Indian High Commissioner during that period, can relate to some of the incidents when wounded Indian peacekeepers were regularly brought to Kampala for basic treatment before sending them back to India. Enjoyed every moment of the podcast.
Thank you kaushal sir for this podcast...today podcast is mind blowing and realizatio..ki ek strong army ki kitni importance h...hum india mai peacefully reh rhe per aaj pta chala ye sab humko yahi nhi mila bahut sacrifice se milti h peace....aaj ye sab jaan ke samaj aaya ki hum India Mai h kitne bhagya ki baat...ek taraf logo ko ye nhi pta wo aaj jinda bhi rahenge ya nhi...
I really want to see some legends like You Shekhawat sir Samar sir Vivek Jacob sir and bhupesh sir in a single podcast and I know sir only you can make it happened so please make it happen in future sir after having their solo podcasts.
what a great revolution it would be if the active youth of india instead of consuming useless fictional loveria and animated content indulge into consuming such tremendously valuable and life building podcasts of our military veterans. May this genre of content get as much recognition as possible. Thank you sir
Congratulations, Col. Kaushal Kashyap, on your first podcast! I'm thrilled to see you bring forward the stories of remarkable heroes. This platform will undoubtedly inspire many and shed light on incredible journeys. Looking forward to more powerful stories! Jai Hind.

I am a connoisseur of such adult content being talked about between two battle hardened soldier of the Indian army. the questions and comments from Col. Kashyap are pure gold ❤. Its a big difference to listen to when some vanilla ass gen-z is driving the conversation vs someone like Col. Kashyap leading it. Thank you for this. Amazing podcast.
Thank you for this video sir, Toor sir is a living legend. After watching this I realise i live in a very safe environment. Toor ji is the most deserved person to be made a biopic on.
OMG, I generally don't comment, but this podcast was incredibly unique and intense to process. The devastation described was beyond anything I could imagine, even coming from a military background. It was absolutely unbelievable. I really want to appreciate Maj. S.M. Toor for opening up and helping us visualize the horrors he and other officers, especially from foreign armies, have witnessed. I also want to commend Col. Kaushal for remaining so calm and composed throughout. His experience as part of the Special Forces must have helped him maintain that composure, having likely witnessed his share of bloodshed. If it had been any other person or podcaster, I don't think the discussion would have been as detailed or clear. This podcast has truly heightened my awareness of how privileged we are to live in India and the kind of independence we enjoy compared to others. For anyone reading my comment before finishing the podcast, I urge you to LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE by Maj at the end GIVEN TO THE YOUTH and truly grasp its depth. Thank you, Col. Kaushal. Much respect.❤
The People we want on podcast with you sir are 1. Major vivek Jacob sir 2. Brigadier S S Shekhawat sir 3. Col. Shivender Pratap Singh Kunwar sir 4. Col. Bharwan sir
i am so moved...thank you Kaushal sir sometimes i wonder though how strong a person has to be mentally to endure all this....and still have such a calm demeanour
OMG I was shaken to the core when Toor sir told about animals were scavenging the human body . It take lot of guts to see, process and try not to remember those incidents. Take a bow and hats off to you and your team.
Very very congratulations sir for your own show...bcz you relate which type que asked your army peers..and best wish for your UA-cam channel soon this channel hit million subscribera as a youth be got inspired how to handle challenges like our Indian army always do.
Sir! You are the best man I have ever seen, the most complete gentleman. Col Kaushal Kashyap is the coolest SF veteran I've ever known. I can't express my love for you and your service infact I am so deeply inspired for SF. Massive love from Nagaland Col sir.
His experiences are really very amazing, And Heart Melting ❤I feel proud on these kind of soldiers that we have ❤ Lot's of Respect to you sir, Jai Hind❤
Sir . ... very good one... please bring more bravest incidents like this... really give goosebumps....m very fond of Para SF it's my dream to become one...but unfortunately destiny took me in another profession...still I follow all the bravest work done by our Indian army in the entire world... please do continue...Sir...u also done very great works...👏👏👏✊✊✊
Watched this podcast during my workout and believe me I had a blast and enjoyed this being an ex aspirant overwhelmed with so well articulated podcast ! Waiting for Shekhawat sir’s loktak operation Jai Hind 🇮🇳
First time heard such detailed n horrifying stories. He said he has trouble sleeping even I'll be troubled for today. He said other troops withdrew n our men stayed dats proud moment n fought like anything.A lot of thank u guys u represnted our nation with pride n valour n fought extreme. I can imagine y our defence forces are best in the world. It is bcoz of soldiers like u. And thanks to Col Kaushal n John abraham for bringing such stories to civilians. जय हिंद हर हर महादेव🙏
Maj. Samar, Sir, thank you for sharing your experience. Thank you for opening up your heart. Indeed no one should face or see what you have endured in South Sudan. Col. Kashyap sir, thank you for bringing this story.
Colonel saab! Have become a recent fan of yours through all the podcasts and clips. War stories are always fascinating to listen to and your eloquence makes even a snippet, riveting! First up, thank you for your service and, secondly, all the very best for your future endeavors. The best is yet to come ♥
Sir it is a really wonderful episode and I really enjoyed it, Being an army aspirant, it is very helpfull for us to make us pre prepared for upcoming experiences we will be gathering in our career when we will be there where you all have served and we will definitely give our best to maintain this trail of legacy in The Indian Armed Forces. With due respect Thankyou sir, Jai hind 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
1:35:25 I am your big fan sir! One thing that I observed and really admired of you as a podcast host is that you just nudge the podcast with your brief and concise questions/statements and allowed the guest to express his experiences, thoughts, beliefs the most. That's wonderful way to get maximum out of the podcast time. Really liked the podcast and you being as host!
Listening Major Samar toor gave a realistic idea of how worst war can be. Thanks for you service major sir Thanks to Col Sir for giving this opportunity to listen both of you ❤
Col. Kaushal Sir please have someone post detailed timestamps as well, it really helps a lot as viewers....You are an inspiration for us. Salute to you.
Everyone, please do not suggest names to Kaushal Kashyap for army soldiers because he is so learned and experienced. He will himself bring the bravest soldiers before us and feature them in his podcast.

"Major Samar Toor's valor and leadership in the Battle of Malakal serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all. His unwavering dedication to duty, courage under fire, and commitment to safeguarding peace are nothing short of heroic. The victory at Malakal is a testament to his strategic brilliance and the sacrifices made by him and his team. A true hero, Major Toor embodies the spirit of resilience and selflessness. We salute you, Sir, for your extraordinary service and for standing tall in the face of adversity. Jai Hind!"
Col Kashyp very nice podcast from another side of world, what's happening.Samar jus came to know u been through, hats off shera ravi brar from darapur.
Now we got the real host who can deliver something productive especially miltary poadcast rather than those who interrupt a lot while talking nd don't know even ABC of armed forces. Great initiative colonel saab.😇🙏 Come with Retd. Brigd. Saurabh Singh sekhawat nd conduct a long poadcast at least of 2 nd half hours.❤❤
Sir this is very inspirational podcast... We also would like to hear many legendary retired para sf and our unsung hero's story ....and their ethics and morality ... Love u sir ❤ jai hind 🇮🇳
We're watching a podcast hosted by a para sf hero having a chat with another legend from the Indian Army! What a treat Kaushal Sir! Kudos to you. Please bring more and more Heroes from our Army coz "Dil Mange More❤"
Woooow am thrilled Paras will host Paras🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 many many UA-camrs have bcum influential just by hosting Paras, just riding on the back of Paras; finally an unadulterated podcast of courage and valour
what a wonderful podcast Colonel .. finally somebody who knows how to ask a question and most importantly how to ask and react to it. This IS the next logical step in this space sir and I would like to say that I throughly enjoyed this. Please have more content I am a fan already. While we know some stuff but to have a perspective from you and somebody who knows the space very well is absolutely interesting to watch( other then who dont have a clue and ask the weirdest questions ). I wish you all the best and I am hoping to see more people from the armed forces for a hands on, absolutely realistic interviews. I thank you for this, throughly enjoyed it once again.
Jai Hind Col. K (My Olive green/ Maroon/ Black superhero) followed you here from LinkedIn. Thank you for these inspiring podcasts, I am enlisting this great content for my daughter when she grows up. SF mindset is effective everywhere, no matter what career she chooses, she will have a sense of patriotism and belongingness to her motherland. If possible, bring Brig Bhupesh Hada, Britto sir (haven't seen them), Brig SS Shekhawat, Lt Gen KJS Dhillon, Major S Poonia...... I will keep adding to the list and it would be great if you can get Instructors/ ex. instructors from the academy (if allowed). Jai Hind.

Abhi 20 min hi dekha hai aur I'm enjoying it.... I have to rush.. Will watch later remaining later on... Cashy sir keep it up .. Thank u for giving wonderful insight abt the forces

Very informative. Having served in Uganda as Indian High Commissioner during that period, can relate to some of the incidents when wounded Indian peacekeepers were regularly brought to Kampala for basic treatment before sending them back to India. Enjoyed every moment of the podcast.
One of the best podcast and I'm from jinja ( uganda ) 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

Uff itni dravni sachai…. Brave fozi 🫡. Thank you Kaushal Kashyap. Ab asli foziyoon ko jan ny ka moka milega.
great to see that the person asking questions to our brave soldiers is himself one of the celebrated soldiers of this nation...thank you...
what a great revolution it would be if the active youth of india instead of consuming useless fictional loveria and animated content indulge into consuming such tremendously valuable and life building podcasts of our military veterans. May this genre of content get as much recognition as possible. Thank you sir
Congratulations, Col. Kaushal Kashyap, on your first podcast! I'm thrilled to see you bring forward the stories of remarkable heroes. This platform will undoubtedly inspire many and shed light on incredible journeys. Looking forward to more powerful stories! Jai Hind.

Sir, all the very best for this channel. Please be motivated for this.

I am a connoisseur of such adult content being talked about between two battle hardened soldier of the Indian army. the questions and comments from Col. Kashyap are pure gold ❤. Its a big difference to listen to when some vanilla ass gen-z is driving the conversation vs someone like Col. Kashyap leading it. Thank you for this. Amazing podcast.
Thank you for this video sir, Toor sir is a living legend. After watching this I realise i live in a very safe environment. Toor ji is the most deserved person to be made a biopic on.
OMG, I generally don't comment, but this podcast was incredibly unique and intense to process. The devastation described was beyond anything I could imagine, even coming from a military background. It was absolutely unbelievable. I really want to appreciate Maj. S.M. Toor for opening up and helping us visualize the horrors he and other officers, especially from foreign armies, have witnessed.
I also want to commend Col. Kaushal for remaining so calm and composed throughout. His experience as part of the Special Forces must have helped him maintain that composure, having likely witnessed his share of bloodshed. If it had been any other person or podcaster, I don't think the discussion would have been as detailed or clear.
This podcast has truly heightened my awareness of how privileged we are to live in India and the kind of independence we enjoy compared to others.
For anyone reading my comment before finishing the podcast, I urge you to LISTEN TO THE MESSAGE by Maj at the end GIVEN TO THE YOUTH and truly grasp its depth.
Thank you, Col. Kaushal. Much respect.❤
Congrats sahab,
I was in MALAKAL, Juba, Khartoum
The People we want on podcast with you sir are
1. Major vivek Jacob sir
2. Brigadier S S Shekhawat sir

Thanku to both samar sir & kaushal sir for there service ♥️

OMG I was shaken to the core when Toor sir told about animals were scavenging the human body . It take lot of guts to see, process and try not to remember those incidents. Take a bow and hats off to you and your team.
Great podcast sir,

With due respect Thankyou sir,
Jai hind 🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
1:35:25 I am your big fan sir! One thing that I observed and really admired of you as a podcast host is that you just nudge the podcast with your brief and concise questions/statements and allowed the guest to express his experiences, thoughts, beliefs the most. That's wonderful way to get maximum out of the podcast time. Really liked the podcast and you being as host!
Great podcast 👍🏻
Not a rookie question like other podcast
This should be the level of questions.
Listening Major Samar toor gave a realistic idea of how worst war can be.
Thanks for you service major sir
Thanks to Col Sir for giving this opportunity to listen both of you ❤
Wish you all the best COL.KASYAP for your new venture may God bless you
Mind-blowing podcast. It was an honor to witness this experience. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
love this podcast SIR JAI HIND♥
Col. Kaushal Sir please have someone post detailed timestamps as well, it really helps a lot as viewers....You are an inspiration for us. Salute to you.
Everyone, please do not suggest names to Kaushal Kashyap for army soldiers because he is so learned and experienced. He will himself bring the bravest soldiers before us and feature them in his podcast.

"Major Samar Toor's valor and leadership in the Battle of Malakal serve as a beacon of inspiration for us all. His unwavering dedication to duty, courage under fire, and commitment to safeguarding peace are nothing short of heroic. The victory at Malakal is a testament to his strategic brilliance and the sacrifices made by him and his team. A true hero, Major Toor embodies the spirit of resilience and selflessness. We salute you, Sir, for your extraordinary service and for standing tall in the face of adversity. Jai Hind!"

what a wonderful podcast Colonel .. finally somebody who knows how to ask a question and most importantly how to ask and react to it. This IS the next logical step in this space sir and I would like to say that I throughly enjoyed this. Please have more content I am a fan already. While we know some stuff but to have a perspective from you and somebody who knows the space very well is absolutely interesting to watch( other then who dont have a clue and ask the weirdest questions ). I wish you all the best and I am hoping to see more people from the armed forces for a hands on, absolutely realistic interviews. I thank you for this, throughly enjoyed it once again.

Thank you for these inspiring podcasts, I am enlisting this great content for my daughter when she grows up. SF mindset is effective everywhere, no matter what career she chooses, she will have a sense of patriotism and belongingness to her motherland.
If possible, bring Brig Bhupesh Hada, Britto sir (haven't seen them), Brig SS Shekhawat, Lt Gen KJS Dhillon, Major S Poonia...... I will keep adding to the list and it would be great if you can get Instructors/ ex. instructors from the academy (if allowed).
