India’s army doesn’t require an introduction. Regarding our individual troops and the Indian army, we have love, respect, pride, and adoration.
Our warriors risk their lives for honour and, most importantly, for India, whether they are fighting in the scorching deserts of Rajasthan or the cold heights of Siachen, constructing nations, or waging war on the battlefield.

The main goals of the Indian Army are to maintain national security and harmony.
The notion of “Nation First” runs through the soldier’s daily life. He gives his life to defend the honour of the country. A soldier is a hero who goes unnoticed and performs a role that is felt rather than seen.
Their existence is not a bed of flowers; rather, it is filled with conquering difficult circumstances. In addition to participating in combat, the Indian Army also manages rescue efforts in the event of natural disasters like cyclones, earthquakes, floods, etc.
Sub Major Swamy, who instructed 7 Indian Army Generals, felicitated on his 100th birthday

Yes! It is actually true that a drill instructor trained every normal person who becomes a soldier at the National Defence Academy. These drill instructors are the backbones of our Army, and among them, one of the most influential drill instructors is Major Swami, who recently celebrated his 100th birthday.
Major Swamy of India has had a major effect on everyone since he spent the majority of his life in the Indian Army. Given that he mentored seven Indian Army generals during his tenure, we can assume that his influence was not just limited to being a drill inspector.
As part of the Bombay Engineering Group regiment, he has served as a major inspiration for many troops throughout the years, ever since he joined the Army.
As a result of this, army officials recently paid him a meaningful tribute on his 100th birthday. And guess what, the event’s video went viral on various social media platforms. Even influential industrialist Anand Mahindra couldn’t resist sharing the event’s video.
