The Full Life

We all live in a routine. There’s Routine of our lifestyle, our habit and even our thoughts. It’s funny to realize how a man, a woman in fact everyone of us just become a part of the social norm that has been laid around us, without even knowing the way we really want to live. We are born, we go to school, and we are taught thousands of goods and bad. We are taught about morality, and of how all humans are equal and the colour of the blood is universally red. It is the time when the world tells you that you are in paradise. You start to know yourself. You know how elders can do anything and you cannot, how it’s true that size does matters, and how better the marks you get, better the student you are.

Jodhpur Lancers

The Indian solider was an essential support of the British Empire worldwide. Post 1858, the British redesigned the Indian army around the Martial Race Theory, in order to secure the Raj. Based on their loyalty towards the British, various Indian communities were deemed "martial races", characterized with qualities such as manliness and bravery. The Rajputs were a martial race and therefore, the Imperial Cadet Corps (ICC) and the Jodhpur Lancers emerged as important parts of the army.To reduce the expenditure of “Govt. Of India” Viceroy Lord Dufferin (1884-1888) introduced the scheme of imperial services, i.e. forces raised in and paid for by princely states. Sir Pratap’s Jodhpur’s regiment, the Jodhpur Lancers, joined in immediately.Polo in its modern form was introduced when Sir Pratap invited the Bengal Lancers to raise the Jodhpur Lancers. By 1899, the Jodhpur lancers were divided into 2 regiments- each made up of 8 squadron officers, 8 jamadars, 8 kote daffadars, and 1058...
