Summary/Abstract Describing his first meeting with Hanut in July 1956, Lieutenant General Ajai Singh who later became a governor, has written in the book, Fakhr-e-Hind: The Story of the Poona Horse: It was after two to three days of my stay in the Regiment that I met him. I was sitting in the C Squadron office after the Maintenance Parade when a tall, thin, smartly turned out officer entered the office. What struck me most about him was his prominent hooked nose and the very proud and penetrating look in his eyes. He walked to me and met with such enthusiasm, warmth and affection that I felt as though we had known each other for ages… Thereafter, without further ado, he took me to the Squadron and introduced me to all members of his troop, which I was to take over. Having done this at the garages itself, he gave me a programme for my training which I was to commence from the next day; he also gave me a large bundle of books and précis which I was to read in my own time. I went through all this businesslike activity in a state of total shock because, till then, such a serious approach to professional matters had neither been seen nor heard during the few days I had spent in the Regiment.
