When young Lt Ahaan Kumar will lead the contingent of the iconic 61 Cavalry at the 76th Republic Day celebrations on Kartavya Path today, the grandson of a war veteran will literally be following in the footsteps of his father who will be the Parade Commander.
Mounted on his charger ‘Ranveer’, a Hanoverian breed, the 25-year-old officer will lead the contingent of the horse cavalry that has been a prominent feature at the Republic Day parade since its inception.
