Indian Army: News and Discussion

What is "SM" ?

@F-14B ... By SM, I meant here Subedar Major.

Instead of clicking photos with Jawans it is better if our PM and his DM clear the long pending proposals for LMG, carbine, LUH, assault rifle, helmets etc. With the LMG, carbine deals etc cancelled on flimsy grounds the Jawans would be wondering who the real enemy actually is.

Maybe if your Congi chor government showed some haste we wouldn't be in such a bad situation. Saint Anthony scuppered the country's procurement policy and left us naked and exposed. The new Parrikar SPM (Strategic Partnership Model) was long overdue.

Go and watch Chota Bheem with RaGa and Diggy Mama.

Remains of two Indian soldiers killed in World War-I to be brought back

Dehradun: Indian defence authorities will travel to France in November to identify and bring back remains of two Indian soldiers killed during World War I, an army official said Saturday.


The remains of two unnamed soldiers of the Garhwal Rifles along with their regimental insignia were found in September 2016 in a field near the northwestern French town of Laventie, nearly 70 kilometers (43 miles) from Dunkirk.

The remains of a British and German soldier were also found from the site during civic work by local authorities. The combatants are believed to have been killed in a battle with Germans, nearly a hundred years ago.

France informed India about the discovery, and Delhi said it would send a team of four officials, including a brigadier from the regiment, to identify the soldiers and artefacts found with them and bring back their remains.

“Some artefacts, including the regimental insignia, have also been found. We will try our best to identify them, although it will be difficult,” said Colonel Ritesh Roy of Garhwal Rifles.

“The bodies were buried for more than 100 years, so very little is left,” he said.

The Garhwal Rifles, named after the northern Himalayan region of Garhwal, was raised in 1887 as part of the Bengal Army before it was incorporated in the British Indian Army.

It remains an infantry regiment in the Indian Army.

The regiment had an active role in both the First and Second World Wars and lost nearly 700 men in WWI and another 350 in WWII.

Two of its soldiers were awarded Victoria Cross — the highest gallantry award in United Kingdom and Commonwealth — for their bravery during World War I.

Over a million soldiers from the Indian subcontinent served the Allied Powers during World War I, with nearly 70,000 of them dying. Another 2.5 million Indian soldiers participated in World War I

Somewhere in Sindh in September 2016, when Pakistan's defence day celebrations were happening, activists from Sindh Student Federation distributing booklets to educate the common Pakistanis by exposing Pakistan's myth of 1965 victory.
Unfortunately, the activists are now suffering on the hands of Pakistan Army. Many activists kidnapped and no info of their whereabouts.

This is why a Cyber Wing under Indian Government umbrella is needed to counter such heinous designs of India and even China.
