India celebrated the 72nd Republic Day on 26th of January. India puts on a show of its technological, economical and forces on display during the parade on this memorable day. The developing nation has moved ahead leaps and bounds over the last seven years, and there have been upgrades to every situation in the country.
Delhi, the city where the celebration and proceedings happen on this eventful day, turns into a fortress. People world over visit the country and the city to watch the event unfold in front of their eyes. Tableaus are on display to showcase the value of the three aspects of the nation.
India’s Republic Day Parade is an experience like no other
Power
The country has grown over the years since it became independent, and Rajpath has been the primary witness of the change and growth over the years. It is undoubtedly a great moment for India as it has changed the landscape of things and turned into power where it commands a lot of important decisions in the Asian subcontinent. There is not a better way to see the country grow than to witness the enhancement in power in 2020 to what it was in 1950. The change speaks about how things have moved up since it adopted the constitution.
Progress
"‘I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.’ – Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar"
Babasaheb Dr. B.R.Ambedkar’s words resonate with everything that the country stands for, and it has seen progress in the way where a majority of things have moved up for 50% of the Indian population. India has established itself as a world-leader in the 21st-century. It is a dream that would have seemed unreal in 1950. The tireless efforts of the people in India have helped the country become a global player. The reports by World Bank confirm that India has surged to a leader.
Patriotism
If there is anything that any Indian or a person from the world over can talk about with no doubt, then it is the sheer patriotism. India’s Men and Women in uniform are national pride, and undoubtedly it gives woman courage and a dream for every girl when they see Women leading from the front in the Republic Day parade. The country has a force like no other and the vigour, valour of the men and women in uniform is a treat to watch for anyone that is an Indian national or comes from a far off land.
India is a country of heroes, whether it be the freedom fighters or the men and women that defend the country’s honour at the border. There can be articles written on this single attribute of the Indian soil. One can rest assured that when the tunes play during the Republic Day parade, and you see the fighter planes over your head showing their skills, you feel goosebumps because its an experience that can never be duplicated.
