Description
Was the Taj Mahal the target of a Pakistani Army attack in 1971 and did that attack fail because a bunch of school boys took it upon themselves to protect the Taj and fight the invaders? We will never know for sure as the government took special measures to protect the Taj Mahal in 1971. An air raid was also conducted on Agra and possibly the Taj Mahal but the bombs failed to explode.
In his latest book a fiction war thriller Ajit Chak a career journalist writes about how a group of teachers and boys from La Martiniere College, the only college in the world to get military honours, pinned down a group of Kashmiri terrorists trained in Pakistan to carry out an attack on the Taj Mahal during the 1971 war.
While this looks and sounds like a Mart Yarn – what the old boys of the college would call a flight of imagination – the manner in which it traces the history of events makes one wonder.
WHAT IF IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED?
