An Illustrated Profile of it's Achievements

There is a saying in India that when all is lost, call in the Indian Army!

This book profiles the Indian Army in the context of the contributions made by it to the nation in war and in peace, both in India and abroad, post-independence. Commentaries by many prominent soldiers who partook in famous battles and who were at the helm make for interesting reading of aspects of Achievements hitherto untold.

A profile of the Indian army would be incomplete without touching a description of its structure, its organization, its emphasis on training and the opportunity for Adventure that is the magnet that draws young soldiers to sign up for a career in the Indian Army.

The Indian Army is a complex organization. It is the second largest army in the world with the largest volunteer force. When not fighting a war, it trains its troops for war. Although each arm focuses on training in its own area of specialization, the strategic objective of all military training in the Indian Army is to create professionally competent soldiers.
