Fauji Days, an oral history project, is our unique initiative to cherish and celebrate it beginning in our 75th year of Independence. Fauji Days believes that our military’s oral history will prove inspiring, thought-provoking, funny at times, and highly satisfying for the curious, especially young adults in their formative years. We are recording engaging interactions between officers, men and women from our Services with young adults from schools and universities. They key is to capture the diversity of lived experiences on the one hand, and perceptions and expectations on the other. An initiative by 99Beagles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Can’t get enough of Fauji Days?
