Leading military analyst Air Commodore Jasjit Singh, who mentored several generations of writers and military commentators and penned scores of books considered essential reading by think tanks, passed away Sunday morning after a fight against pneumonia.
The 79-year-old officer and Padma Bhushan awardee founded the Air Force think tank Centre for Air Power Studies (CAPS) in 2001 and was the longest continuously serving director of the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses (IDSA). He had been unwell for the past fortnight after catching a bad bout of cold, and was hospitalised a week ago.
