Retired Soldier Explains the Difference Between Lashkar, Jaish and Hizbul Terrorists
In this gripping episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami sits down with Major LS Chaudhary (Retd.) to explore the reality of counter-terror operations in Jammu and Kashmir, and the rigorous training life at the National Defence Academy (NDA) and Indian Military Academy (IMA). From close-quarters combat against Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists to the psychological toll of surviving a life-altering injury, Major Chaudhary gives a rare, first-person account of what it truly means to serve in a conflict zone.
The episode also focuses on the reality of counter-terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir, especially in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack, and what people usually get wrong about such operations.
Finally, the episode dives deep into the discipline, myths, and unfiltered truths of military training—the relationship between cadets and drill ustaads, the secret rule-breaking, iconic NDA/IMA moments, and the real story of actor Hrithik Roshan being corrected on set by a drill instructor during the filming of Lakshya.

Hailey and singer Justin Bieber welcomed their son, Jack Blues Bieber, on August 23 of last year. The couple, who first tied the knot in a civil ceremony in 2018 before hosting a larger wedding celebration in 2019, have kept most details of their parenthood journey private. Recently, Hailey opened up about the challenges she faced during and after childbirth. In an interview with E! News, the 28-year-old shared that her labor experience was difficult and intense. "Giving birth was the hardest thing I've ever done," the 28-year-old model said, recalling the physically demanding process that lasted 18 hours and included medical induction and labor without pain medication. Despite preparing extensively through workouts and pelvic-floor therapy, Hailey had to undergo induction using a Foley balloon catheter, which she described as an extremely uncomfortable procedure. "They broke my water. I went into labor and I labored for a few hours. No epidural, nothing," Hailey said, reflecting on the intense experience.
