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.
