Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 27: Col Ajay Raina from Jammu participated in the annual Military History Seminar organized by Welham Boys School as a speaker.
The annual Military History is one of its kind initiatives taken by any school in the country. The seminar, now in its 4th year, sees a participation by more than 30 reputed schools across India. This year’s event was held online because of the ongoing COVID situation.
The event saw the participation by senior officers from Army, Navy and Air Force. Two ex-Chiefs of the forces, General VP Malik and Admiral Sunil Lanba were the Chief Guests during opening and closing ceremonies respectively. A host of other senior officers and domain experts participated in the event.
Out of four sessions held as panel discussions, three were focussed on J&K and Ladakh. Challenges along the LAC were discussed from different perspectives. An attempt was made to have a fresh look at the events of 1947-48 through a panel discussion in which Col Ajay Raina, SM, from Jammu was a speaker.
Some of the forgotten areas of the history were visited by the panellists during the discussion. As per the feedback received from the audience, many facts came across to them as ‘untold-unheard’ bits of the history of the erstwhile State of J&K.
