Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj has always been in the news mainly for his bold Nationalists apolitical remarks. He is known to spread Staunch Patriotism through his videos and mass public speeches. He is respected and regarded worldwide by the Experts and Legends of Counter-Terrorism, Counter-Insurgency but why is he being defamed and continuously trolled in India.
Is Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj a Fraud or a genuine commandos Mentor?
Allegations Vs. Reality as per closure reports-
He is regularly accused of donning a military dress with a maroon beret, Marcos badge and balidan insignia, his credentials as a freelance trainer and freelance commandos mentor to the special forces and armed forces have often been questioned. Few communists and leftist-led houses and a few suspected anti-national elements question his patriotism and even boldly ask him about his contribution to youth, women empowerment, and the Nation.
There is no single evidence online and offline to establish the fake allegation of him being an army impostor. However, he has always declared that he has provided his MITTI System’s mentoring services to the Elite Special Forces, Indian armed forces, paramilitary forces, state police, and enforcement agencies. He has provided his completely “Free of Cost” mentoring services, trained many specialised military units in his long career as a freelance commandos mentor, freelance commando trainer, and is instrumental in developing customised close armed combat and requirements based strategic training programs for both the Armed forces and state-level forces.
What is the issue with Grandmaster Shifuji’s military uniform?
- Master Shifuji dresses up like any other private Tactical Combat professional indirectly serving the armed forces, keeping discipline and extreme fitness robustness as a part of his profession as a freelance commandos mentor.
- The beret and the badge are synonymous with ranks and acknowledgement of exemplary service towards the Nation. Also, as per India’s legislation, it is not prohibited by any law that a mentor, trainer while conducting a training session cannot wear combat, stylish camouflage pants and beret of any colour.
- Grandmaster Shifuji wears his trademarked emblems on his maroon beret registered a decade ago under Trademarks act 1999. He also has a copyrighted clothing style.
Final Investigation:
- Shifuji’s maroon beret is designed similar to the elite forces’ ones. It bears NO marks of the Indian armed forces, Indian special forces or the Indian government.
- Shifuji’s badge is in a pattern similar to the badges of military ranks and combatants in other parts of the world (not in India) and available online for everyone. It is not the Balidan Badge (awarded to a rare few). The badge worn by Shifuji is alleged to be the MARCOS badge.
- He never dresses up in a complete military, Indian Navy attire (even the jacket worn by Shifuji bore a cutout sticker of legendary revolutionary Martyr Bhagat Singh, which is not a protocol of the Indian Armed Forces).
Why has this controversy arisen again?
