India Adopted the constitution on 26th November, 1949, which came in to force on 26th January, 1950, marking the country's first republic day.
Celebration is mainly marked in the national capital starting from the Historic India Gate and carries on along the Rajpath.
As against the custom to host a leader of foreign country as chief guest, this year, Parade will see 10 chief Guests, the leaders of all member countries of the Association of southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN. This republic day will be remembered for ages for hosting 10 Chief guest featuring leader of member countries of ASEAN . ASEAN flag will also be flown during the parade. This clearly depicts India's tradition of 'Vasudeva Kutumbakam' welcoming all the neighboring countries. This has entailed India's Economically, socially and politically strategic move.
Another new addition to the national day's parade will be that of 113 women from Border Security Force or BSF roaring accross the rajpath performing breathtaking stunts on motorcycles. The squad has been named as 'The border Braves'.
Apart from striking and vivid representation from various states and union territories, a major attraction of the parade is the armed forces contingents.Several aircrafts, military vehicles and weapons are displayed during the parade.
Highest civilian awards of the country is given in various fields of activities such as art, social work, public affairs, science and engineering, trade and industry, medicine, literature and education, sports and civil services each year on republic day. This year in 2018 we have 85 padma Awardees.
Salute to the Indian Army and ITBP (Indo Tibetan Border police) hosting the National flag under the difficult territorial circumtances. This could be a good reply to the India China unrest.
India has its unity in its diversity, i wish we all promise to abide by its principles of justice, liberty, equality, fraternity. Long Live Democracy.
