His right shoulder felt dodgy, still recovering from a dislocation that he had suffered during a climb in January. To make matters worse, his body felt weak after suffering food poisoning en route to base camp. He was now looking to climb without any supplementary oxygen or a high-altitude guide.

On his descent, the wind took away his left glove, resulting in frostbite to three of his digits. Yet, Nallavelli made it back to base camp without any major mishaps. It had taken ...

Asked if India’s retaliation marked a shift in the way the armed forces operated, he said the military’s main task is to tackle the external threat and be prepared to conduct cross-border operations. “So, I would not classify the 2016 and 2019 strikes as major turning points for the ways that the arme...
