Field Marshal SHFJ Manekshaw

October 27 is a historic day, not only for the
Infantry but for the entire Indian Army. It was
on this day, 64 years ago, that the first
Infantryman landed at Srinagar Air Field in
Kashmir Valley and stalled the Pakistani
invaders. The enemy was thrown back and the
Valley was saved. It was the first glorious
action undertaken by the Indian Army in the post-
Independence era. October 27 is, thus, celebrated
as 'Infantry Day throughout India.
