Celebrate Republic Day 2012 in Bangalore
The dawn of 26th January 1950, saw India as a truly Sovereign state. The day actually sees the declaration of India as a 'Republic', after taking away the powers from the British. Since its independence in August 1947, India did not have proper political power and guidelines to run a government. Under the leadership of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar, a drafting committee was formed to set up permanent constitution. After lot of debates and negotiations, the drafted document was approved and signed by the members of the Assembly. Ever since, this day is being celebrated as Republic Day of India.
On 26th January 2012, India celebrates it's 63rd Republic Day with Thailand's Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, as the state guest of honour. The celebrations that take place in the State capital, New Delhi is one of the highlights of this day. The grand parade starts at the Raisina Hill near Rashtrapathi Bhavan and ends at historically significant Red Fort passing through Rajpath and India Gate. This day reminds us of all the sacrifice made by the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and also in protecting the sovereignty of the country during warfare and other combats.
The grand parade in state capital showcases the cultural diversity and military powers of Republic India, with a spectacular display of myriad coloured floats/tableau depicting scenes from various states and regions of the country and the march past of the regiments of Indian Armed Forces. The Indian President, also the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces along-with the chief guest unfurls the National Flag and takes a 21-gun salute. Gallantry awards of bravery like Ashoka Chakra, Kirti Chakra, National Bravery Awards for Children are also presented on this day by the President. The parade ends with a fly-past by Indian Air Force jets. Many schools and organisations also participate in the parade with unique performances.
Apart from the grand parade in Delhi, Flag-hoisting ceremonies accompanied by cultural programmes and national parades are also held at the state capitals. To keep the spirits of patriotism alive in younger generation various cultural programmes are organised in various offices and organisations.
The Beating Retreat ceremony at the Raisina Hill marks the end of Republic Day celebrations. Presided by the President of India, this ceremony is held on the 29th of January, i.e. 3rd day after the Republic day. The bands of Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air force perform by playing the Indian National Anthem and other popular patriotic tunes.
India has come a long way from being a poor, independent democratic nation to World's largest democracy and among one of the World's fastest growing economies. True to the saying, “Unity in Diversity”, the patriotic fervour of the people of the Country comes alive on such national days irrespective of difference in caste, creed and religion.
