That's the way we are in the IA. One unit for life!

We are a family and we are there for life, though officers have to move on after they have commanded or moved to another unit for command.

It build up the Regimental and unit spirit.

Odd that this is the tradition given to us by the British and this is what has stood the Britain in good stead in WW II and India thereafter; and it imagine, they have abandoned a fine system!

Any reasons?

But then, to be or not to be a Sikh Regiment. That is the question!
