Yeah, I know. But the term "gold ropes" (as we call both the landyards and the people who wear them) are used as a more tounge-in-cheek term
My comment re: gloves was not the use of gloves itself, but why they are bright yellow (contrasting so much with the bdus). Either they forgot to bring standard issue to the exercise, or the person in charge of requisition should be busted down a couple. Surely its just as easy to obtain gloves that aren't day-glo yellow
Incredibely interesting pics!
I'm very curious about Indian military.
How would you compare your troops, especially the elite units, with those of China?
Do you think that there is a probability that you would fight again one day against China?
Might be because they are training kit. During night ops the gunner/loader would ask the troops to hold out there hands palms out with gloves before signalling ok for hitting the rope lest anybody end up lacerating their hands. Yellow would be easy to see in the dark.

In hot pursuit of ULFA cadre through dense jungles
These are most likely from 7/11 Gorkha Rifles's "Ghatak (Commando) Platoon."
In addition to actual commando, paracommando and special forces units, each of the 400-odd infantry battalions of the Indian Army has a Ghatak Platoon, comprised of soldiers drawn from that battalion, who undergo specialized commando traning and are equipped with the latest, best weapons and gadgets.
Ghatak platoons are otherwise integrated in the force structure of the battalion, and are used in special operations missions that may come up during regular deployment. These types of platoons have seen much action and success in COIN and anti-terror operations in Kashmir and India's Northeast.
In hot pursuit of ULFA cadre through dense jungles
Though they ran out of rations and batteries, the troops succeeded in mission

JUNGLE OPERATION: Arms and ammunition seized from ULFA militants on display at Dumduma, about 500 km away from Guwahati, on Wednesday.
Doomdooma: They had run out of rations and batteries, but not patience and courage. Lieutenant Pankaj Kumar and his 17-member crack team from the 7th Battalion of 11 Gorkha Rifles scrambled through inaccessible dense jungles of the Manabhum Reserve Forest in Arunachal Pradesh for four days before gunning down six ULFA rebels. The team, code-named `Operation Blazing Khukri', resumed its operation on April 9.
From its base at Kakopathar in upper Assam's Tinsukia district, the team crawled through the dense jungle to zero in on a group of rebels, including two hardcore women, which was on the run.
Poor visibility
Based on intelligence about the rebel presence inside the forest, the team crossed the Lohit river in country boats and trekked under bamboo thickets with visibility less than two-three metres. In the early hours of April 10, it came across five or six hutmentsnear Tiklibam in Lohit district. As the team members were about to enter a hut, two militants suddenly appeared with AK-56 assault rifles blazing in hand and lobbed two grenades. Lt. Pankaj Kumar alerted his higher-ups and Major Pranab Kumar rushed to the site with reinforcements. The two militants were killed in retaliation and the area was cordoned off. The others, who were inside the hutments, retreated into the bamboo thickets under cover of fire. One of them managed to pick up an AK-56 dropped by a slain rebel.
The rattling sound of guns from either side pierced the silence of the Manabhum forest. After a six-hour encounter, the troops recovered six bodies of the rebels and a cache of arms and ammunitions. All of them were from the United Liberation Front of Asom's 28th battalion, which was behind insurgency in upper Assam districts and the series of recent mass killings of Hindi-speaking people in the State.
On Wednesday, Colonel P. Saxena, Commanding Officer of the Army Battalion, Major Pranab Kumar and Lt. Pankaj Kumar showed a team of journalists the encounter site from an MI-17 chopper of the Indian Air Force.
Major General N.C. Marwah, General Officer Commanding, 2 Mountain Division of the Army, told reporters at the Dinjan headquarters that the Army had killed 44 militants of the ULFA's 28th battalion in upper Assam and neighbouring Arunachal Pradesh since the operations were resumed on September 24, 2006 after the peace initiatives broke down and the unilateral ceasefire declared by the Centre was called off. During this period, the Army neutralised 142 militants of the 28th battalion, including 81 who were apprehended and 17 who surrendered. It also arrested 155 overground workers and seized 88 weapons.

Erm, they didn't happen to kill a couple of ULFA engineers by any chance, did they? What's with the calculator watches and pocket calculators??
