Republic Day Parade: India to display military might, cultural heritage; celebrate 75 years of Constitution
The Hindu
India's 76th Republic Day parade in New Delhi will feature military prowess, cultural heritage, and Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto.
India is set to showcase its military prowess and rich cultural heritage and display a symbolic confluence of 'virasat' and 'vikas' on Kartavya Path in New Delhi to mark the 76th Republic Day on January 26 when the nation will also commemorate the platinum jubilee of the enactment of the Constitution.
Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto will be the chief guest on the occasion and the ceremonial parade will also see participation of a marching contingent and a band contingent from Indonesia.
He will be the fourth Indonesian President to attend India's Republic Day celebrations. Mr. Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia, was the chief guest at India's first Republic Day celebrations in 1950.
While 75 years of the Constitution is the focus of celebrations this year, the theme for the tableaux is 'Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas'.
