Major General (Retired) Goverdhan Singh Jamwal addressed the 3rd Kunwar Viyogi Memorial Lecture titled: \u2018Truth about Invasion of the Valley and the Saviour of Kashmir\u2019 at the 7th Annual Kunwar Viyogi Utsav.
\nThe event held at Police Auditorium also saw former Deputy Chief Minister (CM) of Jammu and Kashmir Dr Nirmal Singh as its special guest.
\nMajor General Jamwal was also honoured with the Kunwar Viyogi Shaurya Samaan for his valour and valuable contribution to the nation by KVM Trust founder Poonam Singh Jamwal and Trust Chairman Goverdhan Singh Jamwal.
\nDuring his talk, Major General Jamwal gave a detailed account of what transpired during Pakistan\u2019s invasion of Kashmir on October 22, 1947 and how Dogra hero Brigadier Rajinder Singh Jamwal, also known as the \u2018Saviour of Kashmir\u2019 with just 150 soldiers fought against over 5000 invaders for four consecutive days and defended Kashmir, securing its union with India.
\nMajor General Jamwal regretted that while the nation has witnessed Dogra valour and sacrifices, their names have been forgotten in the pages of history. \u201cIt\u2019s time to reclaim our Dogra pride and acquaint the youth with their heroes,\u201d said Jamwal.
\nAyushman Jamwal, a Senior News Editor at CNN-NEWS18 and Trust member curated the event. While addressing the audience, he said that our textbooks need to feature the valour of Dogra heroes who are responsible for uniting the nation.
\n\u201cBe it General Zorawar Singh who expanded India\u2019s footprint till Afghanistan and Ladakh to Brig Rajinder Singh who saved the crown or India, Dogra sacrifice has unified the nation in more than one way and it is time that the Dogras unite and rebuild themselves,\u201d he said.
\nMeanwhile, Sonali Dogra, recipient of the 2021 Kunwar Viyogi Innovation Award for her soul stirring Dogri Song \u2013 Baabul, paid glowing tribute to Kunwar Viyogi. She enthralled the audience with songs penned by the artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
