The World Book Fair resonated with patriotic fervor as Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann commended the Indian Army for its finely detailed portrayal of battlefield heroism. This centerpiece exhibit has elevated the event’s stature, blending literature with martial legacy.
Spanning several booths, it offers a deep dive into the Army’s journey—from independence struggles to modern counter-terror ops. Mann, visibly moved, called it ‘an exquisite tribute to shourya that captures the essence of our soldiers’ indomitable will.’
Highlights include holographic projections of daring missions, handwritten letters from the frontlines, and panel discussions with decorated officers. Families and tourists alike spend hours absorbed, sharing stories across generations.
Mann leveraged the occasion to advocate for greater media coverage of military achievements, aiming to counter negative narratives. Punjab’s government is exploring tie-ups for traveling versions of the exhibit, reaching rural heartlands.
Organized with precision by Army cultural teams, the display has boosted book sales on military themes. It reaffirms the fair’s mission to foster informed citizenship. As applause echoes for India’s defenders, the event cements its place in cultural memory.
