Answer 2

IN the midst of various battles that were being fought during Partition of India, a silver owl was creating its own skirmish.

Forty years before this in 1907, the British set up the Indian Staff College, in Quetta (now in Pakistan) to train military officers to become the "brain of the army" in India. It was modelled on the Staff College at Camberley, England.

Contentious move

In 1947, the Indian Staff College moved to Wellington, Nilgiris, where it came to be known as The Defence Services Staff College (DSSC) or the Raksha Seva Staff College. The move was not without its share of contentions. There was acrimonious debate over the rightful ownership of the college mascot, a solid silver owl, presented to the college in 1907. The matter was clinched by an inscription on the owl that clearly stated, "Presented ... to the Indian Staff College."

This owl is still the mascot of DSSC, along with the motto, "Yuddham Pragnaya" — To War With Wisdom. It holds pride of place and one sees it everywhere in Wellington. The annual college magazine is called The Owl while its monthly newsletter is The Hoot and even the coveted institution tie has owls embroidered on it.
