Re: Happy Republic Day!!!
When I was in high school, it was easy to explain what I-day stood for and all. The fuss around R-day was a tad tougher to explain though.
Now it kinda dawns that though we got independence on 15-aug-47, we didn't have fundamental rights until 26-jan-50.
Perhaps gurus and garus can pontificate on R-day means to them and to the country in their own words. That would be nice for perspective.

Wish all my fellow Indians a very happy Republic Day.
Must strive to help India take back its rightful place in the world as a responsible, progressive, prosperous & powerful nation - source of 25% of the world's industrial output, that it once was
The Constitution adopted guaranteed Universal Adult franchise to all adult Indians

Listen carefully to the commentators, some are real disconnect. Last year one special commentator from the forces did not know how to pronounce INS Jalashwa. Had no clue about what was going on. goofed up.

Re: Happy Republic Day!!!
Someone post Gurudev Tagore's poem please.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Re: Happy Republic Day!!!
the Presidents security detail (NSG or SPG) has totally moved to a fleet of all-black BMW X5 SUVs...and they already had black BMW 7i sedans for the president and guests. must say it looks impressive coming down rajpath. a large black van perhaps containing more troopers and jamming gear brings up the rear.

Re: Happy Republic Day!!!
so called supporters of most corrupt Govt of India couldn't find time to wish Happy Republic day. May be it is a very diversionary thing to do. Anyhow Happy Republic day to all fellow Indians. Hope one day we will be truly free to express our patriotic feelings and raise our beloved Tiranga in any corner of India without fear of being branded right wing nuts. Jai Hind!

Flag Hoisted at Gowalia Tank Maidan
It is time for another Freedom Movement, this time targeted the Resident Non-Indians.
Jai Hind.
The Government issued an order banning public processions, meetings & assemblies. Despite the police warning large crowd had gathered at Gowalia Tank Maidan. Aruna Asaf Ali hoisted the Indian flag.
... The national flag was pulled down and volunteers who went to its rescued were beaten off.
Let us thank the ruling classes on this sacred Republic Day for waking us up to defend the flag, and the Constitution and Republic for which it stands, for which so many gave up so much.[From Memory] We, the People of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute ourselves into a Soverign Democratic Republic, do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution...

Best wishes to everyone on the Forum, every Bharatiya and Bharat on the occasion of 61st Republic day. Jai Hind! Vande Mataram! I am rather sad that this thread is moving much slower than the other one.

From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, Happy Republic Day!
Re: Happy Republic Day!!!
The well turned out and synchronised military and police contingents led by General Officer Commanding (Delhi) Maj Gen Manvendra Singh marched proudly to the lilting tunes of bands through the Rajpath where President and Supreme Commander of Armed Forces Pratibha Patil took the salute. The march-past was watched by the Republic Day chief guest Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Vice President Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Defence Minister A K Antony and the country's top political and military brass.
After the President unfurled the tricolour and a customary 21-gun salute, an Army doctor Major Laishram Jyotin Singh was awarded posthumously the highest peacetime gallantry award -- the Ashok Chakra -- for his bravery while fighting militants during an attack on Indians in Kabul. He was the first Army doctor receiving Ashok Chakra.
Four Mi-17 helicopters then zoomed in from the western skies and showered flower petals on the spectators, signalling the beginning of the parade followed by the winners of the Param Vir Chakra and Ashok Chakra and mounted columns of 61 Cavalry.
