Summary

Description
English: The 17th Dogra Regiment and its predecessor units were recruited entirely of Dogra Rajputs - high caste Hindus from sub-Himalayan ranges spread in the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal and Northern-Punjab. They inhabited the foothills of the Himalayas between the Jhelum and Sutlej rivers in the Punjab. They had a long tradition of soldiering and fought for the British from the 1860s onwards. This included service in Malaya and Burma during World War Two. In 1947 the Dogra Regiment was allocated to India after independence and partition.
