"Shining Sixth" is their battalion nickname (Garhwal Rifles).

Something a little bit different. 19th July 2011. A leopard strayed into Prakash Nagar village (near Salugara, on the outskirts of Siliguri) and mauled several villagers, including three guards, before being caught by forest officials. The leopard, which suffered injuries caused by knives and batons, died later in the evening at a veterinary center.

Learning (mainly observing) how the US army does it - surviving in snow & cold weather, climbing techniques, mountaineering, skiing, evacuating injured soldiers, equipment, clothing, etc.

Chinese set aside a chair for this Indian soldier.

Many bells....

Many flags....

Who was Babaji?

According to army folklore… A camp bed is kept for him and his boots are polished and uniform kept ready every night. The sheets are reportedly crumpled every morning and boots muddy by evening. The Major continues to draw a salary and takes his annual leave.

Legend also has it that in the event of a war between India and China, Baba would warn the Indian soldiers three days in advance. During the flag meetings between the two nations at Nathula, the Chinese set a chair aside for the saint.

I have visited this place.As i was only 5 years old then i have faint memories but i guess he is called Jaswant Baba and all drivers of the Indian Army stop at his place to pay respect coz they believe if they wont their vehicle will break down.

He along with two of his female friends stopped 1 entire Chinese brigade for 3 days after which the Chinese came to know that there was only 1 man figting along with 2 females supporting him by bringing him ammunition and food.He killed himself when he came to know that he is not going to survive for long by hanging himself from a tree with a telephone wire and his female friends jumped off the clip coz they didnt want the Chinese to capture them alive.The Chinese took his head off with them and was respected by them for his supreme bravery.

It is said that he slaps the jawans who sleep on duty and he even has a seat booked for him in train and visits home.Jawans respect him like God.

I apologise if i am mistaking him for someone else but since this was also worth sharing so i wrote about "Jaswant Baba".
