President's Bodyguard (PBG)
PRESIDENT’S BODYGUARD
The President's Bodyguard (PBG), as it is known today, was raised in 1773 at Benares, by then Governor General Warren Hastings, with a strength of 50 picked troopers and horses. This nucleus of the Bodyguard was later augmented by another 50, provided by Raja Chet Singh of Benares, bringing the overall strength of the Bodyguard up to 100 horses and men by the end of that year. The establishment of the Regiment varied through the years, being augmented in times of war and it attained its maximum strength of 1929 all ranks, in the Army List of 1845, just prior to the First Sikh War. After Independence, in keeping with its high traditions, the PBG rendered yeoman service in 1947 and around the capital in the upheaval during the aftermath of partition. The Regiment saw action in 1965. The badge of the PBG comprises the state symbol borne aloft on an open parachute supported by crossed lances. These are held together by its title. The crest thus, symbolizes the PBG's cavalry and airborne role. As befitting its status, the motto of the PBG is 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' (Victory to Mother India). Colours of the Regiment are sky blue and maroon same as those for airborne troops.
