Rain means no fly past?? fingers crossed.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
kali from Telangana? Vaishanvite tableau from Assam. Best RD parade ever.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
^^ I half-expected Telangana to come up with Charminar, Nizaam and Biryani. Of course it's there in bits but far from the Tipu monstrosity we saw Karnataka put up last year.

Bringing out the Agni's would've been like giving Obama the finger, especially after the nuke deal.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
why are most performers from various state looking fat? is it my resolution?

This walking by floats business is hard on the performers. More difficult that it appears.

Advani and Jaitely all dressed up like James Bond onlee.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
There is no reason why it cannot be done. How much does it take to standup for a few minutes in respect, when you are going to plonk yourselves on a cushiony sofa for the next 2 hours.Singha wrote:imo not only the president but all the other vvips next in line should stand as mark of respect, or if it cannot be done move the award to a separate ceremony on army day or in the rashtrapati bhavan or beating retreat.
it looked VERY UNSEEMLY today. Pranabda did what he could to salvage the ugly situation, its not his fault at all.
Very disappointing.

Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
That's not a very convincing. So if we were to have PRC President/PM as a Republic day chief guest, we should not have a tableau from Arunachal Pradesh roll by?RoyG wrote:Bringing out the Agni's would've been like giving Obama the finger, especially after the nuke deal.

But this parade is a true depiction of a Nation on March.
Awesome.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Haha very Communal parade onleee. Warms the jingo's heart.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
now what is obama banging his head for gujju song?
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Pandrapur Vitla pilgrimage from MH. Message loud and clear...no mistaking. Or call me totally biased. This is middle finger to so many people.
Modi stamp unmissable. What a man.

Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
How many floats do they have in total -- grown by an order of magnitude since when I paid any attention.
edit -- they have specially added numbers here. One too many. approx 100k watching on youtube. not shabby at all. a lot of heartburn going by in comments. Is Gypsy still going? yee Gahd! Is there no new alternative? Heehee, govt girls school janakpuri is alive and still sending contingents! The swastika is going to raise some eyebrows. Le westerners are going to take away a total bollywood image for everyone in india at this rate. Seriously though, the women have been pushed out in front this year. President mukherjee is managing to look quite elderly and mellow. many familiar school names. Anyone know if there is still a selection competition thing? Fewer grid markers on the display stand than old days. More swastikas, bound to show up in nyt types. I took my 12th exams at this last school! numbers thinning. the youth is very "round", definitely added girth. Here are the motor cycles. motor cycles I could miss and not feel bad. Seriously they probably have bern run every 1/26. especial camera angles. hind. c130s. p8i (called p81! by the commentators)/29k. c17/su30. jaguars. 29s (seems some of the new upgrades are flying). su30. fog, lousy visibility. last su30. over. sarkari we heart obama posters on tv. presidentil cavalry. they still look pretty. saw this after 19 years? not bad. limousines. did they get rid of the horse carriage altogether or does it still go to the retreat?

Modernization with a Saffron tinge on every tableau - even CPWD and health.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Overall, the event was well executed. We should drop the colonial elements though.

Looks like Modi is explaining to Ombaba the details of the parade. Mrs. O looks busy talking to Mrs. Ansari and uninterested in the parade.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Not saying that you didRoyG wrote:I didn't say we shouldn't do it
But I agree with your in part, maybe it was done so that Obama is not bombed with questions back home on nuclear deal with a country that has such delivery systems in place. Not that I agree with it.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Modi believes in his heart about grass roots governance. Did you see him nodding?
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion
Well, Obama just met his match in Modi. Both talk the same language.SaiK wrote:it makes om baba stop shaking his head. is there some cold chill getting into his spine? recently he addressed st of union about stopping jobs going abroad.Sid wrote:Make is India, best display wow.
Re: Republic Day 2015 - News and Discussion

The whole military part of the Republic day parade is the legacy of the British army. Drop it and you might as well stop playing cricket and driving on the wrong side of the road!RoyG wrote:Overall, the event was well executed. We should drop the colonial elements though.
