This most striking and illustrated book chronicles the annals of the Rajput Regiment, which is amongst the oldest Infantry Regiments of the Indian Army. It lays particular emphasis on the last three decades, a period which has seen the REgiment winning many more laurels and attaining even greater heights. The fronts where 'Rajputs' have earned accolades have been during the 1971 Indo-Pak War, in both the eastern and western theatres; in the fields of border-guarding and numerous Counter Insurgency Operations in J&K and the north east; in dealing with the sensitive Punjab problem.
