How often does a civilian get an inside look at military life?

It’s the unique customs and traditions, the drama of adventure and the deeply embedded sense of brotherhood that defines infantry life for retired army officer Colonel Mahip Chadha—details he wants to share beyond the battlefield.

SOLJER SOLJER combines compelling fiction with the actualities of life in the Indian Armed Forces, centering on the tale of a father and son serving together in the Sixth Battalion of the Third Gorkha Rifles, and the events that threaten to separate them forever.

Offering an exclusive look at the inner-workings of the Gorkha Brigade - SOLJER SOLJER dives into the traditions, customs and truths of Army life. Chadha transports the reader into a world where officers are veritable gods, living conditions are extreme and brotherhood conquers all.

Chadha spent nearly 34 years in the Indian Army, much of time with the Second and Third Battalions of the Third Gorkha Rifles. Weaving in memorable characters and events from his past, Chadha highlights both the joys and hardships of military life.  

A common Indian citizen has little or no idea of the Indian Armed Forces,” says Chadha. “It’s important that I give readers an inside look at what it’s truly like to be a solider in the Indian infantry, and the brotherhood and sacrifice involved.”
