Repugnant battle honours of the Indian Army
Battle honours considered repugnant by the Indian army / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Government of India has declared repugnant some battle honours earned by Indian Army units, which are descended from erstwhile units of the Presidency armies under the East India Company and later under the British Indian Army of the British Raj.[1] Indian Army units do not inscribe these battle honours on their colours and do not celebrate commemoration days associated with these battles.[2] This decision was taken post-independence regarding those battle honours concerned with battles in India and Pakistan which the Indian government regards as part of the "subjugation" of India and in some cases, neighbouring countries.[3][4]
