18 RAJ RIF (Saurashtra) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel TP Singh, spearheaded own offensives in the Shakargarh sector during the 1971 war. The Battalion remained unstoppable despite the mounting resistance. On the night of 15 Dec 1971 it crossed the deep Basantar minefields under intense shelling and then thwarted all enemy efforts to dislodge them. The Battalion was spectacular in bold execution of its tasks and was rightly conferred the battle honour 'Basantar'.

  1. Local Area Commander of the Rajputana Rifles, Rajouri- Please pick up your guns and swords and bring us 10 severed heads of Pakistani soldiers WITHIN a week.

    That’s the demand of the Indian nation.

    Jai Hind
