This year will mark the 75th Republic Day of independent India. Seventy-five years ago on this day, the Indian constitution was adapted which marked the beginning of a new inning for India after being in the shackles of the British. Every year on his day, the honorable president of India hoists the national flag followed by the grand parade along with customary cultural and military performances. The presidents also distributes the Padma Awards on this day which are the: Paramvir Chakra, Ashok Chakra and Vir Chakra titles to the deserving civilians.
This year, the Republic Day parade is grander than ever, with its themes being 'Viksit Bharat' and 'Bharat – Loktantra ki Matruka', which will highlight India as the leading nurturer of democracy and the flag bearer of the same. It will also denote how the country has progressed over the years. The parade will march down the Kartavya Path. This year, for the first time, we have a couple, Major Jerry Blaize and Captain Supreetha CT, marching together from different contingents.
