The Asian Literature: Welcome to The Asian Literature, author. Congratulations on the release of your book. What responses are you getting from your readers? Please share your experience with this book.
Author:
Thank you very much for your warm welcome and good wishes. Since this is my first book, I was excited and curious to know how it would be received. I am very happy to report that the response from readers has been extremely positive. Many have appreciated this effort to uncover and highlight the untold history of NCC. I sincerely hope that this book will not only inspire present and future cadets but also help every citizen of India to better understand the legacy and contributions of the National Cadet Corps. The journey of writing this book has been extremely gratifying and humbling.
The Asian Literature: What encourages you to become an Author?
Author: I never intended to become an author. Writing was never part of my original plan.
But everything changed the moment I joined the NCC.
As I began to uncover the glorious legacy of the National Cadet Corps a legacy that remains untold by many and unheard by most I made a vow.
I promised myself that I would bring this hidden history to light.
I wanted every citizen of this nation not just cadets to understand the sacrifices, the dedication, and the indispensable role of NCC in our country’s journey.
And I realized: The most powerful way to immortalize this truth, to preserve it for generations to come, was through a book.
That is why I became an author not by choice, but by purpose.
This book is my mission. It’s not just ink on paper it’s the voice of thousands of cadets, echoing through time.
The Asian Literature: What are your favorite topics of writing? Please tell us something about your interest areas in the literature.
Author:
As I mentioned earlier, I never set out to become a writer. But once I discovered the untold stories and silent sacrifices of our armed forces, something within me changed forever.
Today, I am deeply passionate about writing on military history, especially the unsung and unheard chapters of bravery that never made it to textbooks or headlines.
I believe literature is a powerful weapon not to fight wars, but to fight ignorance, forgetfulness, and silence.
Through my words, I aim to immortalize the valour, the legacy, and the sacrifices of our heroes, so that generations to come may know what true service to the nation looks like.
My heart lies in unveiling hidden truths and bringing forgotten heroes back into the light.
For me, writing is not just an art it’s a responsibility.
The Asain Literature: We were hoping you could tell us about some of those writers who had inspired you and whom you follow!
Author:
The Asian Literature: The titles seem different and catchy; how you decided it? Please let us know the story behind it.
Author:
The title “NCC: The Untold Story” was not just chosen it was born out of truth.
As I began researching for this book, I came across stories that shook me sacrifices that were never documented, bravery that was never celebrated, and a legacy that remained unheard. The deeper I went, the more I realized that NCC is not just a training organization it’s a movement of silent warriors, of national builders, of unsung heroes.
What moved me most was discovering the story of NCC’s first decorated braveheart, a life of unmatched valor that even most cadets had never heard of. That was the turning point.
It became clear that this was not just a book it was a responsibility, and the title had to reflect that mission. NCC: The Untold Story was the most honest and powerful name I could give it because it represents everything this book stands for:
Revealing what was hidden, honoring what was forgotten, and inspiring what is yet to come.
The Asian Literature: What are your achievements far? Tell us something about your writing career.
Author:
To be honest, I’ve always considered myself an average student. I don’t come from a background filled with awards or academic achievements. But life gave me moments that meant much more to me than any trophy ever could.
One of my proudest achievements was being selected for the National Cadet Corps (NCC) a turning point that gave me purpose, discipline, and a dream to serve the nation in my own way.
And then came my biggest milestone so far writing my first book, NCC: The Untold Story. This book is not just my debut as an author, it is the greatest achievement of my life.
What makes this book even more special is that it is forwarded by two of India’s most decorated heroes capt. Yogendra Singh Yadav Param Vir Chakra and
Colonel R.K. Sharma, recipient of the Kirti Chakra, Shaurya Chakra, and Sena Medal.
To have their blessings, their trust, and their words in the opening pages of my book is a moment of unimaginable honor.
Even more, I had the opportunity to personally meet them, hand over the book to them, and receive their blessings in person. That experience will forever remain one of the highest honors of my life.
As for my writing career it has just begun. I never planned to be a writer. I am an author by chance, not by choice.
But whenever I discover untold stories of sacrifice and valor, especially from our defence forces, I feel a responsibility to bring them to light. Writing, for me, is not about fame it’s about giving voice to silent heroes and preserving their legacy for generations to come.
The Asian Literature: What is your current goal in writing a career? How do you see your future in writing?
Author:
My greatest dream and goal in life is to serve my nation as an Army officer to wear the uniform with pride and protect the country I love. Because of this, I don’t see writing as my primary future career.
However, writing is a powerful tool a way to shine a light on the sacrifices, courage, and untold stories of those who serve our nation. Whenever I come across such stories that deserve to be heard, I will use my voice and my writing skills to bring them to the world.
So, while my heart is set on the battlefield and the service of the nation, my pen will always remain ready to document, inspire, and honor those who dedicate their lives to our country.
In that way, I believe writing and serving go hand in hand both are acts of patriotism
The Asian Literature: How you see Indian writing in the 21st century? What changes do you see in the modern way of writing? Do you feel it has been changed by the time?
Author:
To be honest, this is my first book, and I don’t come from a literary background. I don’t see my future in writing as a full-time career, because my true dream is to become an Army officer and serve the nation in uniform. So, with limited experience, I may not be the right person to deeply analyze the evolution of Indian writing.
But what I have understood even from this one journey is that writing is one of the most powerful and respectful tools to convey truth. In any century, in any form be it traditional or modern — writing has always been a weapon of wisdom, a voice for the voiceless, and a medium to inspire generations.
Today’s writing has become more dynamic, more accessible, and reaches far more people in less time. And that’s a positive change. Whether it’s a book, a blog, or even a post if it carries truth, purpose, and emotion, it has the power to touch hearts and awaken minds.
For me, writing is not about style it’s about intent. And whenever the sacrifice of our real heroes goes unheard, I will always be ready to pick up the pen not as a writer, but as a messenger of patriotism
The Asian Literature: How easy/ difficult it was for you to publish your book? What message would you like to give to budding authors?
Author:
Publishing my first book was not easy at all. I had no background in writing, no formal training, and no idea about the publishing process. Everything was new, and at times, overwhelming. But what made the journey possible was the constant support and guidance of Evincepub Publishing House. They believed in the purpose of my book and stood by me at every step — from editing to designing to distribution. Their support turned a difficult path into a fulfilling one.
To all budding authors out there, I have one message:
Use your pen like a weapon — not to fight, but to awaken.
Let your words carry purpose, truth, and courage. Don’t write just to be read — write to make a difference, to inspire, and to preserve the voices that time often forgets.
Your story matters. And if it’s coming from the heart — it will surely reach other hearts too
