Republic Day is celebrated in India every year on January 26. India was under British Rule and get independence in 1947. Around two and half years later, the Constitution of India came into effect on 26th January 1950 and India became a democratic republic. It means the country’s people choose the government who will run the nation. Our Constitution was written by a committee headed by Dr B.R. Ambedkar.

Republic Day is celebrated as a national festival. It is a day of patriotic pride. It is celebrated in every part of the country. The tri-colour National Flag of India is hoisted on this day. Schools celebrate this day by singing patriotic songs, performing skits, and conducting cultural programmes. Sweets are distributed among children in schools.

The biggest celebration happens in the capital city, New Delhi. The President of India hoists the National Flag, and the Indian Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy and Air force organize a parade. The military band plays the National Anthem along with a 21 gun salute to honour the lives lost in the freedom struggle.

Tableaus from all the states of India are displayed after the parade. It showcases India’s rich ‘Unity and Diversity’ culture.

The brave soldiers of the country are awarded with the Paramvir Chakra, Ashok Chakra, and Vir Chakra. Children and common citizens who showed great courage during challenging times are also presented with rewards. Jai Hind !!!
