Under ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the Army is now giving priority to Indian breeds like Mudhol Hound, Rampur Hound, Chippiparai, Kombai and Rajapalayam. This is a clear sign of India’s growing confidence in its own strength and resources. When these silent warriors cross the line of duty on Republic Day 2026, they will remind the nation that defense is not just about guns and missiles. From Siachen to Ladakh, these animals have performed their duty quietly but strongly. These are not just helpers, but true companions of the Indian Army and brave warriors who walk on four legs.
