Valour Unlimited : Haryana And The Indian Armed Forces

Warfare being an integral component of human civilization nations are generally defined by the role played by their Armed Forces in shaping history. The story of Army has neither a beginning nor an end; one has to therefore choose a point in time to start it. This story begins in 1914. The history of soldiers from Haryana who have served the Indian Armed Forces through the last century is a gripping account replete with innemrable examples of bravery self-sacrifice and love for the country. The ''ordinary'' men from this small state have played a big role in protecting the national dignity. Thus they have created values which shall not get inundated by moods of moment due to their timeless appeal. Doughty Indian soldiers epitomize this sentiment more than anything else. Hopefully the coming generations would honour them by emulating their example. This focused account of regional history of a national phenomenon will be of interest to teachers scholars soldiers as well as to the defence welfare policy makers.
