15 Amazing Facts About The Indian Army That Will Make You Proud
With sponsored terrorism from some neighboring countries and incursion threats from others, problems of illegal immigration and so many other internal conflicts and disasters - it is thanks to the Indian Army that India still maintains its status quo loud and proud. We can never thank our Army enough for what they do – and these 15 facts will earn your respect for them further.
This is where Pakistan and India have fought intermittently since April 1984. Both countries maintain a permanent military presence in the region at a height of over 6,000 m.
The Indian Army is a voluntary service and although a provision for military conscription exists in the Indian constitution, it has never been imposed.
The Indian Army's High Altitude Warfare School (HAWS) is one of the most elite military training centers in the world and is frequented by Special Ops teams from the US, UK and Russia. US Special Forces trained at HAWS before their deployment during the invasion of Afghanistan.
The Battle of Longewala was fought in December 1971 between India and Pakistan, in which just 120 Indian soldiers with one jeep mounted with a M40 recoilless rifle held the fort against 2000 Pakistani soldiers backed by 45 tanks and one mobile infantry brigade. Despite being so heavily outnumbered, the Indian soldiers held their ground throughout the night and with the help of the Air Force, were able to completely rout the aggressors.
