Most of us are not aware of history of military uniform colour KHAKI.

This colour was idea of an Indian soldier of British army.

·       It became the main cause of victory of British army on Indian kings (Rajas).

·       With the time it became a universal colour for army around the world.

Originally the colour of army uniform used to be bright red; in turn the defenders were able to locate them from a long distance and get prepared. Hence the attackers had to face defeat.

The name of colour is named KHAKI as dust is called Khak in Urdu.
