Indian Republic day is a national festival that’s celebrated all over India on 26th January. This day is celebrated in the remembrance of the promise that was made on the Lahore session of Indian national congress on the night of December 31st 1920, where the national flag was unfurled for the first time. This promise was to celebrate National republic day every year on 26th of January, and this is to motivate everyone to struggle for a sovereign and independent republic of India. This day was finally started celebrating on 26th January, 1950. This is when India came up with its first constituent assembly.
Many years later, still now, this day is celebrated with same passion and motivation. On the national front, the highlight features are the parades, March pasts and traditional dances. This event binds the national aspects to the cultural aspects of India. Another much awaited highlight is the air show, where Indian jet planes leave their marks on the sky as the coloured celebration of the magnanimity of the event. This is the most popular part of the whole celebration.
This event is celebrated in Delhi, as well as other capitals of states with similar customs and traditions. The Indian armed forces salute the President, recognizing him as the head of the state. The republic day festival marks its significance as thousands of people come and visit the capital of states to see the march past, the folk dances, and other customs associated with it. No other festival draws such a huge crowd which has an amalgamation of tribal, traditional and national ethos. Similarly, no other country brings such a great mix of men of all colour and backgrounds to be unified in one single uniform and represent the republic of India. This shows the unanimity of nationwide love and brotherhood, despite all the small religious and cultural differences among different parts of India.
