Republic day in India




Yesterday India celebrated Republic day, which is one of the three national holidays of India. India celebrates this day to commemorate the replacement of the Government of India Act by the Constitution of India. To mark the importance of this occasion the prime minister lays a wreath at a memorial near India Gate followed by a 2 minute silence in memory of martyrs who died fighting for our country during the movement. He then joins the president where the former will hoist the national flag while the Our National Anthem is played. A gun salute is given as well. Then begins the parade which is the finest part, and as a child it always fascinated and i even watched the broadcasting on television every year. The army, navy and air force lead the march past followed by the vibrant displays of culture represented by diverse states and regions of India.

Am sure the images above proven how fine our men are! Happy Belated Republic Day India. I hope one day we are able to attain the true independence in our hearts.
