NIMBU SAAB Paperback

"Nimbu Saab: The Barefoot Naga Kargil Hero" by Neha Dwivedi and Diksha Dwivedi, with Neingutoulie Kenguruse, is a powerful and deeply moving biography that illuminates the extraordinary life and ultimate sacrifice of Captain Neikezhakuo Kengurüse, a lesser-known yet pivotal hero of the Kargil War. Affectionately known as "Nimbu Saab" by his comrades, Captain Kengurüse, at just twenty-five years old, famously led his men barefoot into combat in sub-zero temperatures, ultimately earning the Maha Vir Chakra posthumously. This book, written by the daughters of another Kargil war hero and Captain Kengurüse's own brother, offers an intimate portrayal of his journey from a humble upbringing in Nagaland to becoming an officer in the Indian Army, exploring not only his unparalleled bravery on the battlefield but also the complex interplay of Naga identity, patriotism, and the deep emotional impact of war on soldiers and their families.
