Introduction

India is a land of diversity, and Republic Day is a time to celebrate that diversity and come together as a nation. On January 26 2023, India marks its 74th Republic Day with a parade in New Delhi.

The parade in New Delhi is the highlight of the celebration, and it features military units, floats, and displays from all over India. There are also cultural performances, including traditional dances and music.

History of Republic Day

Happy Republic Day, dear reader! Today marks the 74th anniversary of India’s Republic Day. On this day in 1950, the Constitution of India was adopted, establishing India as a republic. The history of Republic Day is interesting and can be traced back to the 1950s and 60s when some prominent leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, and Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar worked hard to make India a sovereign country by adopting a constitution that recognizes equality among all citizens irrespective of religion or caste. These leaders worked tirelessly in trying to ensure that India becomes a complete democracy where each individual can have access to equal opportunities and rights.

Since then, Republic Day has been celebrated annually with parades, fairs and other festivities. This year, representatives from all of India’s states will join together in New Delhi to celebrate. The parade will feature floats and displays from all corners of the country, showcasing India’s rich culture and history.

This is a momentous day for all Indians, and we hope you’ll join us in celebrating our great nation!

January 26, 1950, it’s a day when the nation celebrated its democracy for the first time and paid tribute to all those who have fought for India’s independence.

The 74th Republic Day of India this year has come with a bang – from the grand military parade, to the various cultural performances, to the newly-created digital platform, one thing is clear – the face of the Republic Day celebrations is changing. In recent years, the traditional parade has been replaced by a digital platform, allowing people from around the world to join in the festivities. The country is celebrating its birthday under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the theme this year is “Nari Shakti or Women power”. The celebrations have been marked by several activities. 

• It is going to start with the flag hoisting ceremony at Rajpath, followed by cultural shows and sports events across the country.
• The most important event for many was Republic Day itself, when President of India and other dignitaries laid wreaths at Amar Jawan Jyoti in Delhi’s Rajpath. This was followed by an elaborate military parade along Rajpath featuring troops from various parts of the country including China, BSF, NCC etc., which ended with a flypast by over 100 aircrafts from all over India.

Not only is this a great opportunity to unite people of Indian origin living abroad, but it also serves as a way to strengthen India’s ties with other countries around the world. Given the current global political climate, it’s reassuring to know that India is still actively displaying its autonomy and progress as a nation.

Moving Forward: Towards an Inclusive India

On this Republic Day, let us pledge to stay united and work together towards an inclusive India. We need to be aware of our privileges, stand up for those who are marginalized by society, and fight against all kinds of injustice in every form. We need to foster a sense of respect and appreciation for diversity amongst all communities. And as we look towards the future of our country, we should remember that progress is only possible if it benefits everyone.

It’s important for us to recognize that India is a safe space for everyone, including religious minorities and women. We need to help create an environment where we are all equal regardless of our differences. Only then can we truly build a strong and vibrant nation that is united in spirit, hearts and minds.
