By the way do any one from Malayasia happen to have any kind of information about a Malayasian prince named Tinku(don't remember which province) who was trained at Indian NDA & IMA and was commisioned into the Indian Army and will serve into the Indian Army for some time before returning to Malaysia. He took part in 2007's Republic Day parade.

his name is 'Tengku Ismail Ibrahim'

Thanks for all the interesting pictures.
The Indian Full Dress is good looking. It doesn't change too much since the British Raj.
Why a Malaysian prince can serve in the Indian army?
and, what is his unit? It seems to be cavalry, but which one?!

He is now serving with 61st Cavalry Unit of the Indian Army. It's a horse mounted unit whose job are to function as Presidential Guards and to take part in various horse shows and polo events around the world.

Wikipedia says, his Cavalry unit is "the world's only non-ceremonial horse-mounted cavalry". So, according to this, he is not just a show-and-go officer, but leader of a true battle unit. Well, dunno how far Wikipedia is a reliable source, though ^^
