How Republic Day is Celebrated
On this day a great Indian army parade takes place which generally starts from the Vijay Chowk and ends at India Gate. Indian Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Air Force) salute the President of India while parading on the Rajpath. The parade also showcases the capabilities of the Indian Armed Forces exhibiting the advanced arms and warfare of the country. It is followed by the tableau or ‘Jhanki’ of each state displaying their culture and traditions. Students celebrate this day in the schools and colleges by participating in various events like parade, flag hoisting, speech competitions, plays and various other cultural programmes.
Conclusion
Republic Day is the national festival of India which reminds us about the sacrifices of our great leaders and freedom fighters who did not think about themselves and their families and happily sacrificed their lives for the nation. The democracy which we have received should be valued by everyone and should not be taken for granted. Everyone should contribute their bit for the development of the nation and spread peace, love and harmony.
