Rebirth of India: Superior

Perhaps in order to allow these cleaning staff to finish the work at once, what came up after the camel cavalry phalanx was a real cavalry phalanx, that is, cavalry on horses, rather than rare mounts such as elephants and camels. Rider. `

The cavalry phalanx participating in the Indian Republic Day parade comes from the 61st Cavalry Regiment of the 6th Army and is considered to be the largest existing non-ceremonial cavalry unit in the world.

1947, India. At that time, there were mainly two forms of cavalry in India, one was the Presidential Cavalry Guard; the other was the cavalry in the Indian states. In 1951, the Indian government integrated the armed forces of various states into the 6th Indian Army. It also reorganized the scattered cavalry forces of various states into a number of cavalry units, such as Gwalior Cavalry, Jodhpur Cavalry, etc. In 1953, the Indian Army Headquarters decided to disband these relatively scattered cavalry teams and form a new cavalry regiment. On January 1, the new cavalry regiment was officially established. Since its establishment, the 61st Cavalry Regiment has participated in many wars and military operations, such as the Second India-Pakistan War in 1965 and the Third India-Pakistan War in 1971.

The 61st Cavalry Regiment also plays a very important role in sports competitions, especially in equestrian events such as polo, horse jumping, and dressage training. It can be said to have played a mainstay role. Members of the Cavalry have won the Arjuna Award, India's highest award for the best athlete, many times, including 4 times in polo and 5 times in equestrian events. `

As soon as Shakroul introduced the famous 61st Cavalry Regiment, Mustafina screamed: "Boss, there really is a phalanx of dogs. Oh, these dogs are so cute!"

"What a dog phalanx? Didn't I tell you just now? It's a police dog phalanx." Shakru corrected with a dark face, although he was also complaining crazily in his heart. Who was the brainless person who designed this? Come up to participate in the military parade?

Fortunately, the conference broadcast explained for him at this time: "This military dog ​​phalanx includes 36 military dogs, of which 24 are Labradors and 12 German shepherds. They are all from the Indian Veterinary Force. Ages range from 2 to 5 years old. Currently, Indian military dogs are mainly divided into 4 breeds: Labrador, German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois and Large Swiss Mountain Dog.

The military dogs participating in this military parade have undergone strict selection and four months of high-intensity training. As early as 196o, the Indian Army established a military dog ​​training school in Uttar Pradesh. Currently, the Remount Veterinary Force Center and Academy is mainly responsible for basic and advanced training of military dogs and their owners.

The last time military dogs participated in the military parade was in 1963, which means that after 29 years of silence, the military dog ​​phalanx once again appeared on the King's Road in the military parade. `As an integral part of India's military force, the dog unit has also made significant contributions in military operations. In August 1985, a military dog ​​named Mansi and his owner died while performing counter-missions in Jammu and Kashmir. "

After the military dog ​​phalanx was over, all the military parade phalanxes were over. The venue finally became quiet, but then soft music was played on the radio. What was even more exaggerated was that many soldiers actually held a yoga mat and began to follow along. I started doing yoga with music.

"Boss, what's going on?" Kabaeva pointed at these soldiers who were doing yoga seriously and asked in shock.

"Well, in fact, yoga, an ancient fitness activity with a history of 5,000 years, is very popular with the Indian army. Many Indian troops perform yoga for one hour every week and learn 14 yoga postures to soothe their nerves. They believe that yoga meditation Techniques and traditional yoga posture training can also make soldiers more brave," Shakru explained bravely.

After the group yoga, it was finally time for the finale of the motorcycle stunt show. In fact, Shakru came to watch the parade this time mainly because he wanted to see the motorcycle stunt. In his previous life, he was shocked by Ah San’s motorcycle stacking skills. It is said that a motorcycle There were seven or eight people piled on the motorcycle as if they were just having fun.

Let’s start with the radio introduction: “The following is a motorcycle stunt team participating in the National Day military parade. The motorcycle team “janbaz” (meaning adventurers in Hindi) from bsf. The team was established in 199o and serves in the border defense force. The academy's motorized transportation school conducts training. Their performance this time is called Devil's Assault. (daredevi1). This performance is to show that the Indian border guards can not only protect the country, but also show efficiency, precision and selfless dedication in other aspects. Now please enjoy their first performance, the aerial stacking of Arhats. There were 189 riders riding on 34 motorcycles at the same time, and the scene was extremely spectacular.”

Then a group of stunt riders wearing blue motorcycle suits began to appear. At the bottom were 34 motorcycles in a row, and then there were dozens or hundreds of people standing on top of each other. Not only that, they also dared to do all kinds of stunts. The action and scenes are extremely amazing!

"Boss, it seems that you Indians like stacking Arhats very much. I have seen this kind of performance in many movies, but it is not as dangerous as a moving motorcycle." Bivopolova asked curiously .

"The human pyramid has always been popular in traditional Indian culture. For example, every year on the Hindu Krishna Christmas Day, in order to celebrate the birthday of Krishna, Hindus will stack people to pick up yogurt pots hanging in the air. Legend has it that when Krishna was young, he stole yogurt hanging high in the sky. Another example is the Janmashtami festival in India, where people dress up as Krishna and build human ladders to celebrate Krishna's birthday. In the Indian mindset, the traditional human pyramid can increase combat effectiveness." Shakru explained slowly.

"But such motorized troops have no practical significance at all?"

Shakru shook his head and said, "They are not combat troops! Don't confuse the motorcycle stunt team in the military parade with the motorized troops in the regular army. The difference between them is as far apart as two planets. Their role is performance, a bit like the art troupe in your army.

And in the eyes of Indians, motorcycle stunts are not "acrobatics", but a kind of stunt, a stunt performance evolved from the ascetic movements of Hinduism, and is the same as yoga. It is the essence of India.

In fact, not only India, the British team has special soldiers trained in motorcycle riding and acrobatic skills. There are also such public motorcycle riding performances in the UK, and these soldiers need to use this skill to participate in the British Army Skills Championship."

Then the Devil Commando performed "Harmony", "Peacock Spreading the Tail", "Juggling", "Parallel", "Lotus", "Jaguar", "BSF Tree", "Border Flower" and other imaginative combination projects, which won rounds of applause. Not to mention others, even Shakru felt that their performance alone was worth the fifty yuan ticket price.
