58th Republic Day of India

Filed under: General — arungupta @ 10:28 am

Today is the Republic Day of India. This day, 58 years ago, Constitution of the Country came into force thereby defining it as a Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic with a Parliamentary form of Government, through the Preamble. The Indian Constitution, which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly after considerable discussions represented the framework of the Government of the Country.

This day is a national holiday in India and celebrated with pride. One of the many events around this day is the Republic Day Parade. As a child, I used to enjoy a live telecast of this parade on television followed by in-person enjoying the prowess of Indian Armed Forces as the parade used to end near our house on Red Fort of Delhi.

Check a webcast of 2007 parade here, deja vu.

Wishing all fellow readers a happy republic day.
