The Republic of India has completed 63 glorious years
today. The 64th Republic Day has been celebrated across the country
with the main spectacular parade function in the national Capital of India, New Delhi. Honorable
President of India, Pranab Mukherjee took the customary 21-gun salute and
ceremonially unfurled the national tricolor for the first time after being
elected into the top post. The chief guest of the function was the King of
Bhutan. The great martyrs of the Indian struggle for independence were
remembered with the Prime Minister of India Dr. Manmohan Singh paying homage to
unknown heroes. All of the three wings of the Indian Defense forces showcased
their strength and the most advanced and latest technological equipments and
capabilities. Beautiful tableaux from 19 states of India had been presented
highlighting the unity amidst diversity. Huge crowds braved the winter chill
and filled in this historical treat of a magnificent display of India’s
rich cultural heritage and military might.
On this day of January 26 in
1950 the Constitution of India came into force and made the largest democracy
of the world into a vibrant Republic of the Indian States.
We wish all of
you a very meaningful and happy Republic Day. We hope India would be
rid of all evils like terror, corruption, crimes against women and factionalism
in the coming months. Peace, harmony and safety must adorn the great country as
the most essential ornaments. Let the colors of the Republic Day be the true
colors of India
cutting across the myriad ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic varieties.
