This is what really makes us proud,
Did you know of this? I certainly did not know. Brilliant,
After getting freedom, a meeting was organized to select the first General of the Indian Army. Jawahar Lal Nehru was heading that meeting. Leaders and Army office rs were discussing to whom this responsibility should be given.
In between the discussion Nehru said, "I think we should appoint a British office r as a General of Indian Army as we don't have enough experience to lead the same."
Everybody supported Nehru because if the PM was suggesting something, how could they not agree?
But one of the army office rs abruptly said, "I have a point, sir."
Nehru said, "Yes. You are free to speak."
He said ,"You see, sir, we don't have enough experience to lead a nation too, so shouldn't we appoint a British person as first PM of India ?"
The meeting hall suddenly went quiet.
Then, Nehru said, "Are you ready to be the first General of the Indian Army ?"
He got a golden chance to accept the offer but he refused the same and said, "Sir,
we have a very talented army office r, my senior, Lt. Gen. Cariappa, who is the most deserving among us."
The army office r who raised his point against the PM was Lt. General Nathu Singh Rathore, the 1st Lt. General of the Indian Army. He was also the first Infantry Offr to be the Col Comdt of 8 CAV.
That is the professionalism and character the military is made of , AND WE SHOULD BE PROUD OF IT.
Friends you feel Proud to know that this brave man named "Lt. General Nathu Singh Rathore" Is our Gurjar Brother
