Twenty-five years ago the Kargil witnessed intense artillery shelling and the valley echoed with the sound of bombs and bullets. General Ved Prakash Malik (Retired) was the then-Army chief who commanded the troops to victory in one of the most challenging high-altitude mountain battles in the history of warfare. NDTV speaks to General Malik and his son, Major General Sachin Malik, to mark 25 years of valour and sacrifice in Kargil. The 8th Mountain Division which saw action during the Kargil conflict was once commanded by General VP Malik and now his son, Maj Gen Sachin Malik commands the same division.
