"Indian Camel Contigent"


7 of 9

Indian Border Security Force constables take their camels back from a rehearsal for the Republic Day Parade on a highway in Delhi where a stalled gas truck sits. The constables do not only use the animals for parades but also use them to patrol the border with Pakistan. The camels are able to survive the harsh conditions in the desert region of Rajasthan and along the border with Pakistan. India and Pakistan have fought three wars that date back to the partition of the British Indian Empire in 1947 and despite recent peace talks, the borders are always tight and tense.
