THE Indian Army believes in celebratory secularism — the troops take part in festivities together. Navratras are special for me as I was commissioned in the Rajput squadron and their religion and festivals became mine. My regiment, 63 Cavalry, has Rajput, Jat and Sikh squadrons. I grew up and studied in Rajasthan and can speak the Marwari dialect.
