- Vividha-Bhaven Kutchi

- There is a world of regiments and symbols of heroism

- One hand of the Navy goes behind the back!

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the historic landmark that India shamefully licked the dust of Pakistan in the war of 191, the people of the country remember the heroic soldiers with pride and gratitude.

On December 6, 191, Pakistan launched an air strike on India, challenging India and rest is history.

Navy Day: Celebrating with the band

On December 3, 191, the next day, the Indian Navy destroyed four Pakistani ships, including PNS Khyber and Ghazi, along with hundreds of soldiers under Operation Trident. The Indian Navy has been a major contributor to Pakistan's surrender in just two fortnights. Every year in India, December 6 is celebrated as 'Navy Day'.

Jaimala of 'War Music'

Manoman saluted the Navy band after listening to a program performed by the Indian Navy Band on the world and India's famous 'War Music' instead of film music in the 'Jaimala' program which was presented by various Indians from India last Friday at 6:00 pm for Navy Day. The producer of the radio program was also applauded for coming up with such an idea.

The sway of the Indian Army Band in the world

The Indian Navy Navy Band is world famous and is also invited by countries like USA, France, Russia, Britain and Australia to celebrate their National Dignity Day. Navy's Manoj Lab-Steman, Goyes conducts the orchestra of such a band. The band is presented with a special ceremony when the countries of the world 'commission' their submarine missile or weapons equipment. When the army wins, there is a great melody of martyrdom salute. 'Vande Mataram' and 'Jai Ho' are also compositions.

Soundtrack of war movies

The Indian Navy Band also performs the soundtrack of epic films on Hollywood royalty and epic war. Western Command Naval Band is at the forefront. It's also like watching the band's 1-hour Navy Day celebration show on YouTube. The Indian Navy Band was also invited to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the Statue of Unity in the United States.

Beating Retreat

Like the Navy, the Army has a safe band. A special type of Army Band contributes to the bravery of the soldiers. Conservatives like bagpiper, fashion kit, drums, bugles, trumpets, cornets, brass are the main ones like the British. Even today, we have maintained the 'Beating Retreat' (band) tradition that Britain has abandoned. Which is held on 5th January every year.

We are unaware of most of the 'off beat' features of the Indian Army. Let's take a peek into the intricate world of the Indian Army on the occasion of India's war victory over Pakistan.

During the guard of honor, parade or homage to the martyr, we are seeing and accepting the march, security, protocol of the three wings of the army as routine. But it happens that one does not know the fact of the tradition behind such an exercise. Most protocols are British. The British adopted many of these protocols from Roman armies.

Why Left Right?

Generally, according to Indian culture, entry on the right foot is considered auspicious, but army personnel have to march with the left foot first and then the right foot. That is why the word 'left right' has come into vogue.

The Roman army, considered the best centuries ago, had a practice of lifting the left foot first. The British were also influenced by the Roman army. They started implementing such left-right in India. Even today the Indian Army adopts the same system.

The humility of the Chief of the Navy

When a senior officer of his wing in the Indian Navy or the Chief of the Navy attends a party or has a drink, the officers and the chief present also sit on the ground and have a drink. Do we think that the Chief of the Navy should not be seated on a chair? If everyone sits down like this, their pride will not be destroyed? But it is this kind of party that brings them closer. This seemingly strange method is also of British origin. There are supposed to be two-three occasions behind it. It is said that when King George IV boarded a huge ship to meet his navy, soldiers stood in his honor, holding an empty cup of wine high. King then told them, "You don't have to stand up, I have full confidence in your loyalty." Since then the Navy has been sitting on the ground on such occasions.

King George's head hit the ship

The other is that King George IV was coming to meet the soldiers on the ship when his head slammed against the entrance of one of the ship's rooms. Tammar had come to him. Even after recovering a little, he was able to sit on the ground and talk to the army. How can soldiers sit or stand on a chair? So they sat down together on the ground to pay their respects to King. From that day on, the British army would sit on the ground and 'toast' if any high-ranking officer came that way. (To express respect, love, and friendship to a guest or a respectable group of individuals, the hosts hold a glass of wine in their hands and declare a 'toast'. There is a price. The word is not used in one's honor or respect, while 'toast' is special.)

Suggestion from Sir Frederick's wife

Thus maroon or dark night color is not considered a gentle color but the Indian Air Force parachute wears a maroon cap. British rule by Sir Frederick Browning

In the meantime, the Indian Air Force was formed. When he went to North Africa with his team, he saw that his team's morale was very low. He talked to his wife, Caffeine du Moriere, a well-known novelist. He suggested to his wife that the army should wear a maroon hat to boost their morale. The same thing happened. Since then, the cap has been replaced by the hot, but its color has remained maroon.

Unique salute of the Navy personnel

The reason behind the method of giving 'salute' is not known to many that the posture of the hand near the forehead while keeping the left hand upright and the right hand bent at the elbow indicates, 'I am faithful to you, you can see my hands. He is unarmed. I am not one of those who attacked you. ' When saluting a naval personnel, one hand moves behind the back. From the time of the king, the hands of the sailors who were constantly working on the ship were clinging to greasy substances like grease and black oil. There was also mud of water. The superior officer was quick to clean one hand and keep the other hand hidden so that the king would not be shown a hand. This is how the navy salutes today!

Speaking of the shoulder button on the shirt

As soon as a call to attend an armed march or on duty is made, the strap on his shirt instead of the shoulder is tied with a button at the top of the shoulder. Long ago, these straps had to be buttoned from top to bottom. But once a British officer in a hurry tied the straps from the bottom to the top in the easiest way possible. Now you have to attach the straps from the stitches towards the bottom of the shoulder.

Soldier fights for regiment!

There is an ancient saying in Britain that a soldier never fights for his country but he sacrifices his life for his regiment, battalion, company, platoon or head of his force. There are regiments of Indian Army like Marathas, Sikhs, Rajputs, Gurkas. These troops are deployed on the battlefield by the strategic forces of the army. A force that fights across the border with a weapon or a gun is called a platoon.

Each regiment can be inspired by a special God or Shakti prayer formula. After that each regiment like Mataji, Hanumanji or Sant Shri Akal has different slogans. The regiment practice was created by the British keeping in view the different regions and castes of India. Each such regiment had a British general of the battalion. The British generals believed that it was not possible to bring out the maximum bravery of the Indian soldiers by tying them to a single common thread. Each region and race has its own motivating as well as pervasive forces, each with a different faith. Today, an Indian soldier is ready to be martyred for his motherland. But also the greatest example of unity in diversity. No army in the world has this feature.

Heroic symbols on uniforms

Even today, the uniforms of the regiments of the Indian army bear the symbol of the heroism of the time, which in the past, under the British general, they had defeated a region or a king of India. There is a symbol of elephant on the shirt of a soldier of Madras Regiment. After the Madras Regiment defeated the Peshwas under Wellesley in the British Raj, the king presented the Madras Regiment with the elephant emblem as a symbol of heroism, which is still a proud part of the Madras Regiment's uniforms.

Parade with straight-edged swords

During a parade or celebration, the group leader holds a straight sword (as in swordsmanship) towards the honored guest. Indeed, in Indian culture there is the glory of the curved sword. From ancient times the kings and maharajas used to keep such swords, but the Indian army still keeps British swords for parades or special occasions.

Victorian Cross even today

The Rajputana or the Madras Regiment once held the Victorian Cross for bravery. Behind each badge, color, buckle, cap, hat, turban, belt and boot-gloves of all the three wings of the Indian Army, there is a funny world.

The Indian Army, the guardian of the icy, mountainous and sandy frontiers that can be said to be the toughest in the world, no matter what color or system it may have, has in its heart the desire to lay down its life for Mother India. The Indian Army protects us as a shield. We like to take inspiration from every soldier.

Parade and parachute protocol

The Prime Minister is given a 'Guard of Honor' by 100 soldiers and another 20 soldiers.

At the Air Force's dinner party, high-ranking officers sit in a room other than the dining room until they have taken the meal and left for home. They can leave the moss after the departure of higher officials.

In the parade, unarmed marchers walk 115 steps a minute and 150 steps a minute with a gun.

The flag of the Indian Navy is not flown on the ship but it flies over the ship. The flag is flown to exchange messages.

The colonel and other high-ranking officials tied a red muffler around his neck, a pattern that no one could attack. This muffler is called a 'gargate patch'.

Jawan of Garhwal and Gurkha Rifles wears a double felt hat.

If the parachute trooper's blue pockets towards the Pentanadaba are blue, it indicates that he has landed on the ground more than 100 times, if he has a blue color, he has a yellow color, he has a yellow color, he has a color of 20 to 3, and if a red mark or handkerchief is out.

Soldiers of the Madras Regiment also wrap the dupatta. The dupatta is used when a wounded soldier needs to be moved.

The color of the regiment's belt also varies.

Unique Battalion of Jammu and Kashmir

The second battalion of the Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry Division is known as the Sherwani Platoon. Sherwani Maqbool, a native of Baramulla village who was a teacher and a poet, joined the Indian army and disturbed the sleep of the Pakistani army. To commemorate his martyrdom, a battalion named the Indian Army after him.

A regiment in Jammu and Kashmir is made up of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh soldiers. Who live in the same complex. It is named MMG from Mandir-Masjid, Gurudwara.

... a delicious world to be thrilled with.
