It was late
in afternoon, I was at work almost exhausted and tired. Someone, raised a
question that tomorrow is the army day, well I was well aware about the fact. The
same person asked do you know why, and most of us gone blank. I discovered
myself standing in the corridor of darkness, with zero degree of enlighten over
this issue. I hate my weakness, and it became important to overcome this
darkness with a light of knowledge over this issue.
Interestingly,
army day is celebrated every year on 15th January. It is celebrated
in the respect of the first Indian Army Commander-in-chief, K.M. Cariappa. Later
on he went on to become Field Marshal because of his exemplary leadership and
accomplishment over the long span of warrior life.
Now, it has
another significance, it is celebrated to salute and pay respect to the brave
and courageous soldiers of India who had sacrificed their life and still doing
it to protect the soverginity of the nation from any external threat and to
provide aid during natural disasters.
Indian army
is actively involved in counter insurgency operations in North Eastern part and
counter terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir. It is not only seeing the action but
also concentrating on the preparedness of the troops and officers for
conventional war.
Indian Army
is a nation inside a nation and it has set example for many other armies to
learn from them. The evident fact is that most of the European countries, USA,
UK, Asian countries are in the bidding process to train their officers with Indian Army.
Indian Army is also considered to be the Number One army in the world to
counter terrorism and well trained army in the modern warfare.
