Indian Army has proved that the regimental colours its Jawans carry
are still a matter of honour. The many wars it faced, have ensured
that those traditions would be carried on by many generations of fighting
Jawans in the years to come. Most of all, the Jawans have learnt that
after all was said and done, honour in battle meant standing one's
ground and fighting - even to the last man or tank if necessary. Jai
Hind!! Jai Jawan!!.
