Why is Republic Day celebrated?
Republic Day celebrates the adoption of the Constitution of India and the country’s transition to a republic on 26 January 1950. The Constitution replaces the Government of India Act, 1935, and the date commemorates the Purna Swaraj declaration of the Indian National Congress in 1930. The main Republic Day Parade is held at Kartavya Road in New Delhi in the presence of the President of India and a foreign chief guest.
What is a beating ceremony?
The Dayak Retreat ceremony held at Vijay Chowk in New Delhi on the evening of January 29 marks the official end of the Republic Day celebrations. The event features musical performances by bands from the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, Delhi Police and Central Armed Police Forces and is chaired by the President of India. The ceremony, which was first held in the 1950s, is an annual tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of the Indian Armed Forces.
