Sanctity of National Territory
India does not wish to occupy even an inch of other nation’s territory as we have enough territory to look after.
However, if any other country commits an aggression even on an inch of Indian territory, we shall not
only throw the aggressor out but strike deep into his territory and destroy the centers of his war potential.

The Study of Defence problems and
particularly research into its various aspects
is a subject invariably neglected and very often misunderstood.
This is not a healthy trend for a developing country like ours.
The Kunzru Centre in its own way has been trying to change this trend.

What the centre offers you here is a short review
of the heroic exploits of our soldiers, sailors and airmen
in countless battles which India had to fight
from 1947 to 1989,
recording very briefly their courage and gallantry

This then is our humble homage to their undying memory.
