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.

Ouch. Harish Rawat of the Congress gets a stinging retort from Amarinder Singh

Harish Rawat expressed his dissatisfaction with his leadership in a series of tweets earlier today, even wishing for "margdarshan (direction) from Lord Kedarnath" in the New Year.



 New Delhi, India: As Congress leader Harish Rawat expressed his dissatisfaction with the party leadership in a series of tweets today, his former colleague Amarinder Singh responded with a scathing retort.

"What you seed is what you will reap! Best wishes for your future endeavours (if you have any), "Amarinder Singh wrote for Harish Rawat, the Congress's Punjab in-charge, who had a rocky tenure.

 Harish Rawat expressed his dissatisfaction with his leadership in a series of tweets earlier today, even wishing for "margdarshan (direction) from Lord Kedarnath" in the New Year. The tweets were interpreted by many as a strong indication that the former Uttarakhand Chief Minister is considering stepping down as the state prepares for elections.

 State elections will be held in Punjab and Uttarkhand early next year.

 "Isn't it perplexing? We must navigate this election waters, but instead of helping me, the organisation has either turned its back on me or is actively working against me "Harish Rawat sent out a tweet.

 "The powers that be have released a swarm of crocodiles (predators) into the sea we must navigate. My hands and feet have been shackled by those who I am meant to follow. Harish Rawat, it's gone too far, you've done enough, it's time to rest, I've been thinking. Then there's a voice in my thoughts that whispers quietly, "I'm not weak, and I'm not afraid of obstacles." I'm in a state of flux. I'm hoping that the New Year will show me the path. I am convinced that Lord Kedarnath (Shiva) would lead me in the right direction "According to the Congressman,

 Mr Rawat, who is a member of the Congress Working Committee, will be the party's face in the Uttarakhand elections in 2022.

 He was also the party's chief troubleshooter in Punjab until recently, attempting to mediate a long-running rivalry between Amarinder Singh and Navjot Singh Sidhu.

 Mr Rawat was perceived to play a big role in Amarinder Singh's replacement as Chief Minister of Punjab in September, when the party backed Mr Sidhu. Amarinder Singh, who had been "humiliated," left the party and formed his own.
