THE KUMAON REGIMENT The Kumaonis had been in British military service since the early 19th Century. As part of the North Indian class, who had joined the military of the East India Company's forces, the Kumaonis had moved to other states in search of military service. Thus they formed part of the Hyderabad Contingent, which was raised, trained and led by British officers under Henry Russel, but paid by the Nizam of Hyderabad. In 1857, in keeping with the class based composition of the infantry, the Regiment comprised Rajputs, Jats and Muslims. After the Great War, some Kumaoni battalions were raised separately, but the Hyderabadis continued and fought with distinction in the World War. In 1945, the Hyderabadis became the Kumaon Regiment.

LORD HANUMAN Hanuman according to Hindu tradition was the Lord of Celibacy who was a devotee of Rama and the first Avatar of Vayu the wind god. Hanuman was considered a Brahmachari who is a person on the path of Brahma. Hanuman has monkey traits. Kesari who was a Vanara and a chief was Hanuman’s father and Anjana, an apsaras was Hanuman’s mother. Hanuman’s spiritual father was Vayu. When Anjana was pregnant with Hanuman she received a bit of some sacred pudding from Vayu that was meant for King Dasharasha who wanted a male child. Because Anjana consumed the sacred pudding, Hanuman was born. Another version of Hanuman’s birth has Vayu and Anjana, who is in the shape of a monkey, as Hanuman’s parents. Hanuman pleased the Goddess Kahli and she made him a gatekeeper. Hanuman is also found in Buddhist texts. The Jain texts state that Hanuman was a supernatural being from the start. In Sikhism Hanuman was worshipped and his likeness was carried into battle by warriors.
