Operation Meghdoot: How India Won the Race for Siachen | The 2 Minute Show | UPSCPaglu

In 1984, Siachen became the stage for one of the most extraordinary strategic races in modern military history. As India and Pakistan prepared to establish positions in one of the world's most unforgiving environments, intelligence revealed that Pakistan was preparing to move into the region. India decided not to wait.

On 13 April 1984, the Indian Army and Indian Air Force launched Operation Meghdoot, moving troops and supplies into the brutal Siachen environment and securing strategically important heights of the Saltoro Ridge. This documentary explores how India prepared, why the race mattered, and how moving first shaped the strategic balance of Siachen for decades.
