Republic Day in India- 26th january
Republic Day -
Republic Day in India is celebrated on 26th January of every year.
India
gained its independence on 15 August 1947, after which the process of
preparing a constitution was started. The Constitution was passed on 26
November 1949 in the Constituent Assembly.
It was adopted on 26 January 1950 with a democratic government system,
when the country became a republic in true sense. 26 January was
selected, because it was this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian
Independence was passed.
To mark this
occasion, a grand parade is held near Rajpath in New Delhi, the capital
of India, beginning from Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan
(Presidential Palace), along the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the
historic Red Fort in the old quarter of the city.
The
President of India, who is also the Commander in Chief of the Indian
Armed Forces, relishes the salute. The Chief Guest of the parade
is the Head of State or Head of Government of another nation. The
parade also includes many traditional dance troupes, to symbolize the
cultural heritage of India. It traditionally ends with a colorful
flypast by Indian Air Force jets in a tiranga formation. Similar parades
are held in the capitals of all the states of India, where the
governors of respective states take the salute.
A big Salute to all those soldiers of an Indian Army who are protecting our borders in all times. Watch this video-
Happy Republic day, Guys
