Bipin Rawat: India's 'inspiring commander' who died in helicopter crash

Bipin Rawat Indias inspiring commander who died in helicopter crash
General Bipin Rawat, who died in a helicopter crash, had a decorated and sometimes controversial career.

"People are throwing stones at us, people are throwing petrol bombs at us. If my men ask me what do we do, should I say, just wait and die? I will come with a nice coffin with a national flag and I will send your bodies home with honour. Is it what I am supposed to tell them as chief? I have to maintain the morale of my troops who are operating there," he said.
