About the Book : You fight your jihad and I will fight to defend my motherland. Time and history will decide whose war was holy… This is the spine-chilling, hair-raising story of the boldest covert operation ever undertaken by the Indian Army in the Kashmir Valley. In a fresh impetus, Pakistan infiltrates a group of highly trained and dangerous terror operatives into Srinagar. Led by the Afghani Owasi Bhai, a veteran of the Soviet-Afghan war, their mission is to create mayhem in the Valley and establish supremacy over all other terror groups. They attack army camps, the State Legislative Assembly, and bomb crowded public areas, causing heavy casualties and public panic. Holy Warriors is the story of the covert counter operation by the Indian Army. Seven handpicked men are sent on a life-or-death mission. Infiltrated into enemy territory, they pose as operatives within the terror groups, their goal to ignite gang warfare and self-destruction. Highly dangerous, with every probability of being shot by their own troops, it was one hell of a mission. When the last page is turned it is left to the reader to decide whose are the Holy Warriors – the men fighting to defend their motherland, or those slaughtering in the name of religion. About the Author : Col. Sunil Kotnala is a third generation Indian Army Officer. In his 25 years of service, he has operated from the high altitudes of the Himalayas in the North, to the Indian Ocean in the South, to the deserts in the West, and the dense jungles of the North-East. He served three tenures in the Kashmir valley and in the insurgency infested North-East, where he carried out numerous overt and covert operations against terrorists. His varied and intriguing experiences in these areas gave him a deep insight into the genesis and mechanics of insurgency and terrorism. He is a keen mountaineer and has led two expeditions to Mount Trishul and Shivling in the Garhwal Himalayas. He was awarded the Chief of Army Staff Commendation Card and General Officer Commanding, Northern Command Commendation Card twice, for outstanding services. But within the tough soldier there has always lived a sensitive and creative artist, who finally found voice when Sunil took voluntary retirement from the army to pursue his childhood passion for writing, feeling compelled to share his experiences in the service.
