Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Col DPK Pillay’s article ‘My Korean Adventures: The Foundations’ has been published in ‘The Fauji’ Magazine on 01 March 2026.
From the nostalgic echoes of a Bangalore childhood to the hallowed legacies of Generals Thimayya and Thorat, this evocative journey traces India’s forgotten humanitarian vanguard in the Korean War. A poignant tribute to the ‘airborne healers’ and custodian forces who defined independent India’s global ethos, proving that our first overseas mission was one of healing, honour, and enduring connection, writes Col Pillay.
