India's Republic Day

India's Republic Day

Republic Day commemorates the Indian Constitution which was officially sanctioned three years after Independence back in 1947. It is celebrated throughout the country and most especially in the capital, Delhi. 

The great parade includes military personnel, camels and horses, and the showcasing of India's advanced arsenal. There is a fly-past and aerial manoeuvres by the Indian Air Force. 

Petals are showered on the people below as the parade draws to a close. Millions of Indians watch the spectacle on television every year and the theme of the celebrations this year is that "Democracy should be respected by everybody.”

This wish is echoed across the land, whether at official ceremonies, schools or private homes. TransIndus joins in with our best wishes and congratulations to Mother India.
