Thousands of Kashmiris and people from Jammu are today joining the J&K Militia (Jammu and Kashmir Militia) which is a wing of the Indian army. They are thus today taking up arms against Pakistan and China the two aggressors of their soil. Two battalions of the Militia have already reached a high efficiency and were regularized into the Indian army last year as LADAKH SCOUTS, after they had given a very good account of themselves in fighting against the Chinese in Ladakh. For ages people of Kashmir had been known as poor fighters, but today with their training they are forming an efficient part of the Indian army which is being rapidly raised to meet the twin menace on the country's borders.
