In this episode of "The Syllabus of Life", we have Col. Hemonto Panging in conversation with Ex IRS Ravi Kapoor.Col. Hemonto Panging is one of the Indian Army's most decorated Special Forces officers — a 9 Para Commando veteran whose reputation in counter-insurgency operations earned him the fearsome nickname "Chengiz Khan." From Sainik School Imphal to the National Defence Academy, he chose the path of the Special Forces over a career as a fighter pilot, and went on to serve across the toughest combat theatres in Assam and Jammu & Kashmir. A gallantry award winner, his career reads like a chronicle of raw courage, brutal discipline, and an unshakable devotion to the nation.In a country that often forgets the price paid by the men who guard its borders, this conversation goes deep into the making of a soldier — the leaders who shaped him, the brothers he lost, and the operations that defined a life lived on the front lines.
