Скачать или смотреть Gorkhas’ Impossible Victory at Sehjra Bulge | The Gates of Rattoke

In the winter of 1971, while the nation braced for war, a small Gorkha battalion under the command of Lt Col Suresh Gupta was handed what many considered a suicidal mission — to take the heavily fortified Sehjra Bulge in Pakistan.

With minimal artillery support and facing entrenched enemy positions, the Gorkhas moved silently through marshes and rivers at night, outflanking the defenders and striking with the precision and ferocity that has become their hallmark.

This episode recounts:
🔹 How a “suicide order” was turned into a stunning victory
🔹 The daring river-crossing plan that surprised the enemy
🔹 The courage, discipline and brotherhood of the 1/5 Gorkha Rifles (FF)
🔹 The emotional return of the stolen Rattoke Gurudwara gates — a powerful symbol of respect and victory

Through first-hand accounts and untold details, you’ll see why the Sehjra Bulge operation is remembered as one of the boldest Gorkha actions of the 1971 war and how the “Gates of Rattoke” became a living reminder of their triumph.

This is not just a war story. It’s a testament to leadership, planning and the indomitable spirit of the Gorkhas — a story that continues to inspire India’s soldiers and citizens alike.
