Blogged: Happy Republic Day, fellow Indians - some thoughts
http://www.aame.in/2012/01/happy-republic-day-fellow-indians-some.html

The Constitution of the Republic of India came into effect on January 26 1950. The Indian Constitution is one of the longest & most comprehensive Constitutions in the world, safeguarding & ensuring equal rights for every Indian. January 26, each year, is celebrated as the Republic Day in India. The day is a National Holiday & a Dry Day.

The most elaborate celebration is organised in India country's capital, New Delhi. It involves march-pasts by the country's Armed Forces, with some of the most lethal weapon systems, missiles, Fighter Aircraft, Tanks etc, rolling down the Rajpath, with crowd of citizens cheering them on -- pure jingo wet-dream. It also showcases cultural tableau from the various states of India.

The best celebration, however, would be organized in my school, where our class teacher would hand out lozenges to us after the ceremony. On many a occasions, I'd also be recipient of a prize given out that day - pure glee. It would be followed by us running out to begin playing Football or Cricket for the rest of the day, long after dusk had settled in, much to the consternation of our folks in the pre-cellphone days. What days!


You can watch the Republic Day parade streamed live [and also the recording of the ceremony]
