Bharat Darshan

We had Bharat Darshan for two months to go around the country and know more about India. It was an enriching experience starting from Jammu (Rajouri) where we had attachment with Rashtriya Rifles, Indian Army and ended with calling on President of India.
I would like to share some of my experiences on this forum.

This is a travelogue I would like to finish as and when I get time. We started from Mussoorie to Rajouri, Jammu where we had Army attachment. We had stayed with Rashtriya Rifles which is a paramilitary force raised for countering terrorist operations in Jammu. Army personnel are posted on deputation to these posts. We had first hand experience on how soldiers and officers spend their life in these areas. They demonstrated some of their operations and explained difficulties faced by them during these operations. All of them have a common grievance that their family members back home should be taken care of by the administration whenever they are in need. I felt sustaining Long distance relationships is major problem faced by these young soldiers. When they have difficult personal life, it gets difficult to concentrate on their work.
