Infantry Regiments of Independent India: A Compendium

Indian Army’s Infantry Regiments as we know today is the result of a major reorganisation of The British Indian Army in 1922; moving away from a “Single Battalion Regiment” to a large number of Battalions grouped under one Regiment. Each Regiment was based on a distinct regional and or class composition. Broadly this distinctive composition of each Regiment prevails to this day though in a more refined form. While each Regiment has chronicled the achievements of its battalions and the bravery of its soldiers a comprehensive history of India’s infantry regiment has not been put together so far. The author of this book focuses primarily on the history of The Regiments Post-Independence. He has highlighted the achievements of each Regiment and its Bravehearts both in war and peace. The book is comprehensive engaging and has been written in an easy-to-read style.
