In military circles, Shiv Kunal
Verma first shot into prominence in 1992 when he produced the highly acclaimed
film on 60 years of the Indian Air Force, Salt of the Earth. This benchmark
film was followed by a series of films on the Indian Navy and the Army,
culminating with his filming Kargil War and Aakash Yodha, which again covered
the aerial dimension of the conflict with Pakistan in 1999. The Standard
Bearers (National Defence Academy) and The Making of a Warrior (Indian Military
Academy) were among the various films he made on military training institutions
in the country. Verma is also the author of The Long Road to Siachen: The
Question Why and the highly acclaimed Northeast Trilogy that documents the
region in meticulous detail. Among his other works are the books on the Assam
Rifles while he has also co-authored Courage & Conviction, the
autobiography of the former Chief of Army Staff, General VK Singh.
