I compliment SP Guide Publications for coming out with a special issue of SP’s Land Forces, coinciding with the Army Day 2013.
The Indian Army today stands tall for its commitment, thorough professionalism and ever positive attitude. While the Army prides itself on its glorious history of achievements, it is nonetheless constantly evolving and training itself to meet tomorrow’s challenges. The Indian Army’s ethos continues to stay committed to pursuit of all round excellence in all spheres which has endowed it with timeless strength and values.
I look forward to SP’s Land Forces highlighting more facets of the Indian Army in future and also wish SP Guide Publications success in all its ventures.

On the occasion of the Nation’s 61st Independence Day, I extend my warmest greetings to the entire SP Guide Publications fraternity. The 15th August should always be an opportunity for us to reflect, take stock, and define new trajectories.
SP Guide Publications has been playing a stellar role in publishing high-quality articles that examine in some depth the people, the platforms and the operations of the world’s defence forces. The publications feature articles written mainly by serving and retired soldiers, sailors and airmen and are illustrated with top-quality photography. They tackle issues of interest to today’s military and are committed to bringing its readers independent, informed and honest observations on defence-related issues.
The cross-section of the community that browses through their journals range from very young officers to our veterans and this is indicative of its popularity, which is growing with every new issue. I take this opportunity to wish all readers of SP Guide Publications a glorious year ahead.
Jai Hind.
