Vijay:- 26th January 1950 is one of the most important days in Indian history as it was on this day the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly sovereign state. In this day India became a totally republican unit. The country finally realized the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and the numerous freedom fighters who, fought for and sacrificed their lives for the Independence of their country. So, the 26th of January was decreed a national holiday and has been recognized and celebrated as the Republic Day of India, ever since.

Laxshmi_maruthi:- Today, the Republic Day is celebrated with much enthusiasm all over the country and especially in the capital, New Delhi where the celebrations start with the Presidential to the nation. The beginning of the occasion is always a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the succeeding wars for the defense of sovereignty of their country. Then, the President comes forward to award the medals of bravery to the people from the armed forces for their exceptional courage in the field and also the civilians, who have distinguished themselves by their different acts of valour in different situations.

Pj04:- The spectacular celebrations include the march past of the three armed forces, massive parades and traditional folk dances, as well as music from representatives of the many and diverse states. The festival reaches its climax with an Air Force fly-by, replete with colored smoke.

Mysticamagic:- Although independence from British rule was actually gained on 15 August 1947 - an occasion marked with the Independence Day celebrations every year - the establishment of the Republic actually has its roots in the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress at midnight of 31 December 1929-1 January 1930.

Anjali:- During the session the tri-color flag was unfurled by the nationalists and a pledge taken that every year, on 26 January, the Independence Day would be celebrated. This declaration of the spirit of independence became reality when the Constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India came into force on 26 January 1950.

Sangeeta:- The Government of India spends a lot of energy and resources to put up a good show and the various government agencies spend the several months planning for the event.

Princess:- But for most Indians, born after the independence (in 1947), the day has lost its meaning and value. It has just become yet another day not to go to work or school.

pujas:- Three days later, on the evening of January 29, a stirring ceremony known as 'Beating Retreat', is held. The ancient military custom of sending drummers through the streets just before sunset to warn the troops to return to their barracks before the flag is hauled down for the night, has been revived in a unique way. Twenty or more bands, from the three services, perform. The plaintive notes of the old hymn, 'Abide with me' is played. The bands fall silent and a solitary bugler takes up the hymn's refrain. The final notes fade away-marking the end of the Republic Day celebrations.

Amreen:- Now, V all Indians Respect our contry & so v all together wil sing the "NATIONAL ANTHEM OF INDIA!!!"

The all IF Ppl:-

Jaana Gaana Maana Adhinayaka Jayehe
Bharata bhagya vidhata;
Punjaba Sindhu Gujarata Maratha,
Dravida Utkala Banga,
Vindhya, Himachala, Jamuna, Ganga,
Ucchhala Jaladhitaranga;
Taba Shubha Naame Jaage
Taba Shubha Ashish Maage
Gaye taba jaya gaatha.

Jaana Gaana Maana Adhinayaka Jayahe
Bharata bhagya vidhata;
Jaya he Jaye he
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya he.

Take Care

HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!
