A Military Bond That Runs Deeper Than Ceremony

The Indian Army chief is arriving in Kathmandu on Sunday for a four-day official visit. General Dhiraj Seth will then be conferred the honorary rank of General of the Nepali Army. The visit falls in the Nepali month of Shrawan, when the monsoon renews the hills—a season long associated with reflection and renewal. The ritual offers an opportunity to strengthen a military bond built on trust and cooperation.
