About the Book
Do you know why the Indian Navy counts 'One, two, six' instead of 'One, two, three' while performing group tasks?

Or that the Intelligence Bureau was set up in response to an assassination?

Or that a Frenchman who had served three nations before turning thirty eventually rose to become the most powerful general of the Marathas?

Or that an army man gave his name to the highest mountain without ever having set foot on it?

Find out the answers to these and more as a team of quizzer-doctors from the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) Pune takes you on a journey across 250 questions, exploring trivia that connects the Indian Armed Forces to topics ranging from mythology, history and art to geography, fashion and sports.

This and more in a quiz book that will help you see the Indian Armed Forces through a lens you might never have seen before.

Happy exploring!

Foreword
Curiosity is not merely a survival trait. It contributes to engagement with the world at large, to growth and often to the joys of discovery and of making connections. Curiosity is what quizzers have in spadefuls, reading almost anything in sight, from jar labels to books across genres, often at most inappropriate times. Nothing is too trivial for them.

Introduction
The authors are a group of doctors with one common thread running through all of them-the Armed Forces Medical College. Each of us started quizzing in school, winning laurels at various levels, but what changed our quizzing lives was the intense camaraderie and competitiveness that was a feature of the quiz club at AFMC. The spirited sessions of questions and answers, the intense mentoring by seniors in the club, the sheer madness of travelling to various parts of the country to participate in obscure competitions and the thrill of winning, is something that binds all of us. Three decades separate the senior-most contributor from the youngest one, but what is common is the child-like glee that one gets on discovering a new and amazing fact. The armed forces in India are shrouded in a veil for all those who have never served in it.
