Why Army Day is celebrated
As a proud Indian we should know the significance behind this day. Indian Army Day is celebrated since 1949 when K.M. Cariappa firstly took over as the Commander-in-chief of Indian Army from Britisher . This event clearly removes the rule of Britishers from our military, also this was the rise of our military leadership and it is a symbol of national Pride. This events pride, courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who led their life in the role.
