A large number of other awards and battle honours were won by the Rajputs and at the end of WW1, a total of 37 battle honours were on the colours of the Rajputs, which exceeded that of any other regiment of the Indian Army.

These tradition-bound regiments have proved themselves in combat in all conflicts since They should not be dismantled," said a major-general. This "battalion esprit de corps" was quite evident during the Kargil conflict. Even among them, the further sub-divisions are based on community or caste. The aim after Independence has been to raise "All India-All Class" regiments, like the Brigade of Guards , where jawans are recruited from all over the country irrespective of class and percentage.

In between these two are the "mixed" and "fixed" class units like the Grenadiers or the Mahar Regiment. The 4 Grenadiers, for instance, has two companies of Jats, one company of Muslims and one company of Dogras.

Many artillery medium or field regiments, for instance, are "pure" ones recruiting only Gorkhas, Sikhs, Jats, Ahirs or Marathas into their respective folds. Facebook Twitter Linkedin EMail.
