19th Infantry Division (India)

The 19th Infantry Division was a formation of the Indian Army, established during the latter half of the 20th century. Originally constituted in 1941 for service in World War II, the division participated in various campaigns across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, notably in the Burma Campaign. Post-independence, the division played a crucial role in India’s military engagements, particularly during the Indo-Pakistani Wars of 1947-48 and 1965. Headquartered at a strategic location, the division has undergone numerous reorganizations and adaptations to meet contemporary security challenges. Today, it remains a key component of India’s defense posture, reflecting the Indian Army's commitment to national sovereignty and regional stability.
