ACCIDENTAL HONOUR TO ZHUKOV  BY STALIN

SARASIJ MAJUMDER



An interesting, but hilarious incident occurred after World War—II.

Who would take the Victory Parade in Moscow, June 1945?

After Nazi Germany had officially surrendered, Stalin summoned Marshal Zhukov to his Dacha and told him to take the Victory Parade about to be held at Red Square. Zhukov, not sure if Stalin really meant it or if he was just testing him, cautiously replied that since Stalin had made the greatest contribution to the victory, he should take the parade. However, Stalin insisted that Zhukov should do it; he even let Zhukov ride his favourite Arab stallion (as per Soviet tradition, a victory parade must be taken on horseback).

The next day when Zhukov arrived at the parade rehearsal, he met Stalin’s son Vasily who leaked him a big secret: actually, Stalin had been preparing for weeks to take the parade on horseback. However, a few days before, he had fallen from the horse, suffered some quite serious injuries and could not ride in the near future. That’s why he had given Zhukov the honour.

“And which horse was he riding when he fell?” Zhukov asked.

“The very same Arab stallion that you are about to ride.”

For the whole week before the parade, Zhukov had to invest significant effort in mastering the horse.

He rode the Stallion quite well in the parade.

The photo of Marshal Zhukov on the leading white Arab Stallion and Marshal Rokossovsky on a black horse, Red Square, 24th of June 1945 is shown  above.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

KNOW THY LEADER AND IDENTIFY ENEMY

  KNOW THY LEADER AND   IDENTIFY ENEMY SARASIJ MAJUMDER Think about it—the man who has effectively FIRST MARGINALIZED   AND THEN ALMOST ERASED Arvind Kejriwal (AK-49) & HIS   PARTY without even uttering his name. AK-49 was once a ‘DEEP STATE’ man, later dumped. Uddhav Bhai is gasping for political life!! Congress party IS LIVING SOMETIME IN ICU , SOMETIME IN VENTILATOR for the last 12 years . And who ensured that elections were conducted relatively peacefully in a state like West Bengal—where, at one time, voting was synonymous with violence, gunfire, bombings, and loss of hundreds of lives. Who, and whose party and whose Leaders achieved the above? Introspect. Who revoked Article 370—a decision that Political Pundits & Critics once claimed would start with   a bloodbath in Kashmir, ultimately end with getting Kashmir joining with PAKISTAN. Well—the situation is different!! Who has largely brought the menace of stone-pelters in Kashmi...
