		furthermore, people from the hilly regions are better for mountain warfare (it was the gurkha, naga and kumaon regiment who took the top honours in kargil) simillarly, the rajputana, sikh regiments are better in plains or deserts etc. as they call, its in their genes!
		btw, assam rifles is the oldest regiment in india.
		It will be interesting to see the percentage of different Indian ethnic groups in the military and that might reveal the facts.
