00:17Yes, tell me, sir.
00:19As I was saying, the colonial powers of the past, like France, Holland and the British East India Company,
00:28they were exported to their countries, like tobacco, paddy, coal, basically textile.
00:37And this continues to this day, where Vizak Harbour is still extensively used by the mercantile marine,
00:45in addition to being the home port of the Eastern Naval Command.
00:48This harbour, modern harbour, it was started in 1927 and it was open for shipping in 1933.
01:27Okay.
01:43So, one-fifty men guard, every ruler of state from earlier times, or heads of states now, had their personal
01:53guards or protection unit called the king's or queen's guard, or the presidential guard.
01:58So, these soldiers in this guard were selected for their bravery, trust and ability to fight and protect their king
02:05as the last line of defence.
02:08Theirs was a place of honour in armies.
02:12So, we are now getting, we are seeing the Governor, Honourable Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Justice Abdul Nazir.
02:22He is here being received and he will also be on board INS Sumedha for the International Fleet Review.
02:40Andhra Pradesh Ki Governor, Justice Abdul Nazir, here has come and he will also be on board in INS Sumedha.
03:35Srimati Draupati Murmu, the Honourable President of India and Supreme Commander of the Defence Forces is expected to arrive shortly.
03:44On arrival, the band will play the national song, following which the Honourable President of India will receive the Rashtri
03:51salute accompanied by the national anthem.
03:54The Honourable President of India will thereafter inspect the Guard of Honour and proceed to embark the presidential yacht INS
04:02Sumedha.
04:03The Honourable President of India will be received with a ceremonial piping of the side by Rear Admiral Alok Anand.
04:19The Honourable President of India will become the first reserves of theける Salvation.
04:25Huh.
04:55राश्पति का स्वागत रियर अड्मिरल आलोक आनंद, युद्ध सेवा मेडल, फ्लैग ओफसर कमांडिंग इस्टन फ्लीट और कमांडर अनिकेद भदे आयनस
05:05सुमेदा के कमांडिंग ओफसर द्वारा अपचारिक रूप से किया जाएगा इसके पचात राश्पति का जहा�
05:40प्रस्थान करेगा
05:41अचत रेगिए।
06:48As we were speaking about the 150 men guard, what is the importance of it?
06:54As I was saying, the President's special guard is for the presidential security, while they still have their security element,
07:09it is a smaller unit.
07:11And the ceremonial guard, the President's guard, it has become ceremonial in nature.
07:19So a ceremonial guard of honor is presented to various dignitaries to show respect and allegiance when they are visiting.
07:26And it is also paraded on special occasions.
07:30Size vary as to the importance of the dignitary position, to the strength of the personnel available.
07:39In the small army, we have a 7-man guard.
07:42Then it can be a 14-man guard.
07:45A 15-man guard is paraded for Admiral C&Cs.
07:49And the largest honor is being given by a 150-man guard to heads of nations.
07:54If it is in Delhi or in Tri-Service Command, it is a mixed guard of army, navy and air
08:00force.
08:03It's a very interesting story and it's got a background.
08:07Going back to the days of ships which were under sail and had cannons on them.
08:12So, when Jahaaj enters to another country's port, to show his goodwill and to say that he is safe,
08:21he would have fired his cannons and fired his cannons, because it will have time for reloading.
08:28And by emptying it, he is showing his weapons are empty to the place he is entering.
08:33And the place where he is entering responds to his respect by firing their guns.
08:39So, a tradition was that there were 7 cannons in that Jahaaj.
08:44So, they would have 7 cannons and fire them together.
08:47Now, Jahaaj is a small area in the Jahaaj.
08:53That is not so with the shore.
08:55So, for every round fired by the ship's cannon, the shore would fire 3 cannons.
09:02So, for 7, you have got 21.
09:06That's how it has become a 21-gun solution.
09:08Oh, nice.
09:10We are seeing the President of India.
09:13She is arriving.
09:15And we will now go across the jetty.
09:25Hold up thewie.
09:27Hold up!
09:28Hold up!
09:29Hold up!
09:30Hold up!
09:43Hold up!
10:33Ladies and gentlemen, the Honourable President of India.
11:08Ladies and gentlemen, you are requested to rise for the national song and national anthem.
