This is a demonstration for the public and TV on Republic Day at the national parade. It's mostly performative and is meant to be exaggerated and over the top because that's what's expected at this parade. Millions of families wake up early morning on Jan 26th every year to watch these performances. They even have performances from school children from different cultures in India, an air show, giant missiles, etc.

This reminds me of the border ceremony between India and Pakistan that is an awesome display of militaries upping each other in silly walks.

Does this look cool in its own cultural context?

They look funny doing that, but I wouldn’t fxxk with a single one of those dudes. Probably have thighs as solid as rock and could kick you straight into a coma.

Not a rehearsal for a Bollywood movie about war?
The hop into crouch is adorable
Is there some utility to all that?
replies:
Any nation attacked like this or defended against like this would just have to dissolve in shame.
When your general also loves musicals
Military heads and their little ritual dances.
Wait, are commanders often autistic?

Thèse soldiers are theading thé finest line. A single wrong move ans they are officially life long mate with a red crested great pikou bird.
Disappointed they did not dance on the braces to achor them in the ground. Now after firing its all shifted.
This looks like part of the Monthy Python's "Silly Walk" sketch...
Now this is what I expected to see when I visited India. Do they keep the dancing Indian's in the special forces? Why didn't my tuktuk driver act like this?
