10th Indian Infantry Division

The 10th Indian Infantry Division, known as the Chakra Division, is a formation of the Indian Army, originally raised during World War II in 1942. It played a significant role in various military operations, including the Burma Campaign, where it earned a distinguished reputation for its operational effectiveness and tactical innovations. Post-independence, the division participated in key conflicts such as the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Based in the eastern region of India, it has been involved in numerous counter-insurgency operations and humanitarian missions, reflecting its versatility and commitment to national security.
