       26 January is celebrated as Republic Day in our country, India. On the same day in the year 1950 India celebrated its first Republic Day as the constitution came into effect.But why 26 January ?
 Because on the same day, in the year 1930 Indian National Congress proclaimed the declaration of Indian independence or purna swaraj.
       Every year foreign head of state is invited by the government of India as the chief guest to grace the occasion. The main aim that remains is to display the Indian culture ,military power and technological developments that is also the strength and backbone of any country.Different regiments of the Indian soldiers also do march-past on this occasion.

One more important event that is taking place this year is that for the first time women power is given much significance. Women from BSF will display their stunts and acrobatics.
