Indigenous Indian dog breeds stole the show at this year’s Rashtriya Ekta Divas celebrations at the Statue of Unity. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, marking the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, announced that in the upcoming National Unity Day Parade at Ekta Nagar, Gujarat, only Indian breeds will represent the BSF, with a special demonstration showcasing their tactical and operational skills — a symbol of a self-reliant and proud India’s K9 strength.
