The
Republic Day of India is a national holiday to mark the transition of
India from a British Dominion to a republic on January 26, 1950 and the
adoption of the Constitution of India. It is one of the three national
holidays in India. This is not to be confused with the Independence Day
on August 15th. Although India attained its independence on
August 15,1947,the Constitution came into effect only on January 26,1950
when India became a truly sovereign State. During the transition period
from 1947 to 1950, King George VI was the head of country. C.
Rajagopalachari served as the Governor-General of India during this
period. Following January 26, 1950, Rajendra Prasad was elected as the
President of India. To mark the importance of this occasion, every year a
grand parade is held in the
capital, New
Delhi from the Raisina Hill near the Rasthra
pati Bhawan along the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic
Red Fort. The different regiments of the Army, the Navy and the Air
Force march past in all their finery and official decorations. The
President of India who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed
Forces takes the salute. The parade also includes vibrant displays and
floats and traditionally ends with a flypast by Indian Air Force jets.
Celebrations, though on a much smaller scale, are held in state capitals
where the Governor of the State unfurls the national flag. Once we
achieved our freedom, this day now reflects the journey of India from a
colonized country to an independent republic. All Government buildings
are dramatically illuminated lending the business like city the
atmosphere of a fairyland. This Day is celebrated with zeal and pride
all over the country.
The
patriotic fervor of the people on this day brings the whole country
together even in her essential diversity. Every part of the country is
represented in occasion which makes the Republic Day the most popular of
all the nation holidays in India.
WE
wish you all a very Happy Republic Day! Let us salute and remember
freedom fighters who fought for and sacrificed their lives for the
independence of our country. Long live the Republic.
Have a Nice Day
