on India’s 67th Republic Day this year, the country will witness something unique — a foreign contingent marching with Indian troops in the Republic Day parade.
For the first time in the history of India, contingent of any foreign country’s army will take part in this year’s Republic Day Parade.
A 56-member French contingent of the 35th Infantry Regiment, 7th Armoured Brigade is already in Rajasthan to take part in a joint exercise. Known as “Shakti 2016”, it will focus on counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency.
The 35th Infantry Regiment has a number of battle honours to its credit and is over 400 hundred years old — it was raised in 1604 in Lorraine, France. It had also taken part in the Afghan war. The contingent is led by Major Thibaut De Lacoste Lareymondie.
