You are a very well informed person on these matters but unfortunately you are wrong this time buddy.

The guy is the ADC and not a guard.

The President has 3 ADCs and this one happens to be from the Navy and a Marcos as pointed out by the previous post.


All the ADCs are mostly SF officers from the Army,Navy and AF.

Lastly to be a Presidents bodyguard you can only be a Rajput,Jat or a Sikh.

why such criteria? ADCs being SF is understandable, but not this.

Dont know about the above. A relative (from the Paras (non sf) has served with PBG. He resigned an RTUd when Kargil broke out so that he could be deployed at the front. I know of atleast 1 Maharashtrian who has served with the PBG.

The only regulation i know is of height. Minimum ^6ft requirement to be selected.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

The Army has admitted in the Supreme Court that recruitment to President's Bodyguard (PBG) is open only to Hindu Rajputs, Hindu Jats and Jat Sikhs, saying that it is done purely on "functional requirement" and there is no caste and religion bias in it.

There are many more such criterias which i wont share because of sensitivities of some members and also because i cannot back it up on the internet as it is not reported.

Many special units have many criterias and some have it because of a betrayal or let down.However that is not the case with the Presidents BG.

You should share, at least we also should know what is going on inside..
I do know about sahayak system in the army and its shit.. cant share how the sahayaks are treated by fellow officers.

Ok. i will share what i can of the things i know on the internet

..I happened to meet a SPG instructor in a train coming from MHOW to Delhi many years ago and had a long conversation with him as we both had interest in each others profession.

One of the things i discussed with him and came to know is..

Ever wondered why there are no SIkhs in SPG?

So he told me that a lot of background checks are made for SPG and he accepted that because of Indiras murder there have been no Sikh selection for SPG (might change in the future)

and i guess the same can be said about Kashmiris Muslims too..

Your family history all the way up till your grandfather is traced and a record is kept of what even your far cousins are doing btw.


There are some articles related to this topic on the internet but these are the things you cannot prove and are better left alone.

I am shocked some of us have no idea about it.

[Immanuel]

I don't see why Sikhs and Muslims can't be trusted, no matter who serves, they need to be treated equally and those who can earn it are fit for service

 

[Immanuel]

Sikhs are valiant warriors just like hardened Indian muslims, many of whom have bled heroic blood for this country along with Christians much like Hangpan Dada. So there is no question of treating minorities with in equality.

 

[COLDHEARTED AVIATOR]

And if they can be in Presidents BG elite unit they can even be in SPG.

Colenel Saahab lives in Gurugram, well @Bornubus if you ever visit Delhi, we both can pay visit to col sahab's house, to meet him, Gurugram is not very far from my home.

i know he'll kick us out in case he doesn't shoot us but still i'll consider that "kick" as a blessing.
