Elephants in battle

A war elephant was a military elephant that had been trained and guided by humans. The main purpose of the war elephant was to assault the enemy, break their ranks, and terrorise and terrify them. Elephantry refers to military formations that use elephants to transport troops. [1] In antiquity, war elephants played a crucial role in a number of significant wars, particularly in Ancient India. While they were only used on a limited and irregular basis in ancient China, they were a permanent staple in the armies of historical Southeast Asian kingdoms. They were also used in ancient Persia and the Mediterranean globe by Macedonian troops, Hellenistic Greek nations, the Roman Republic and later Empire, and Carthage in North Africa during classical antiquity.

Harbhajan Singh and Navjot Sidhu pose for a shot. 'Possibilities with Bhajji' is hinted at.

Sidhu hinted at the possibility of Harbhajan joining the Congress before the Punjab poll, leaving the door open for speculation.

Punjab Congress chairman Navjot Singh Sidhu uploaded a photo with cricketer Harbhajan Singh, sparking conjecture ahead of the Punjab assembly election in 2022. "Picture laden with possibilities... with bhajji, the shining star," Sidhu captioned the shot, which appears to be a recent photo of the couple from a recent meeting because they are dressed in their winter attire. Sidhu intimated that Harbhajan Singh would join the Congress before the Punjab poll, leaving the door open to speculation.

 

With Bhajji as the main attraction

Harbhajan Singh's political aspirations are not new, as the cricketer recently dispelled rumours that he might join the BJP.

It was rumoured a few days ago that the BJP was looking to recruit two high-profile cricketers, Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh, to the party. Harbhajan responded to the rumours on Twitter, calling them "false news."

 

Harbhajan was allegedly in talks with the BJP to run for the Amritsar Lok Sabha seat in the 2019 Lok Sabha election. At the time, the cricketer acknowledged the speculation and stated that he was unsure if it was the proper moment for him to enter politics.

Harbhajan's first appearance in a state election may be the appropriate occasion for him, while bringing him in may give the Congress, Punjab's ruling party, a boost in the approaching election, as the party will be competing against former chief minister Amarinder Singh. Amarinder Singh resigned as chief minister and later left the Congress after a long-running struggle of dissension inside the party. He formed his own party, Punjab Lok Congress, to battle Najot Sidhu and may form an electoral alliance with the BJP.

 

Harbhajan Singh is a well-known Punjabi Sikh who played in the 2011 World Cup-winning team. In 2009, he was awarded the Padma Shri.
