Happy New Year. January’s not over yet so I can say that, since I haven’t posted here since 29 December. Finishing my MA thesis has taken much of my time but while I have been updating the wargames blog, this one has been awkwardly silent. Maybe it’s felt too much like work.
At any rate, time to pick things up a bit. This image from this week’s Foreign Policy The World In Photos This Week caught my attention as a splendid example of how cultural traditions can live on in together with contemporary, utilitarian military uniforms. The caption reads: “Recruits of the Indian Central Reserve Police Force Constables stand in formation, Jan. 16”.
The CRPF is a paramilitary organization. You can see them going through their paces here.
