India is getting ready to proudly show off its military strength and beautiful culture at the 76th Republic Day celebration on January 26. This special day also marks 75 years of India’s Constitution. The President of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, will be the guest of honor, and a team of 352 Indonesian marchers will join the parade.
This is a significant year because not only do we celebrate 75 years of our Constitution, but there will also be a special theme for the parade: “Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas,” which means “Golden India: Heritage and Development.”
The parade will showcase India’s powerful military equipment, including advanced technologies like BrahMos missiles and other cutting-edge defense systems like the T-90 tanks, Akash missiles, and the new Sanjay Battle Surveillance System. For the first time, we will see a tri-services tableau, showcasing cooperation between land, sea, and air forces, along with the advanced Arjun tank and Tejas fighter planes.
President Droupadi Murmu will speak to the nation the night before, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay a wreath at the National War Memorial to honor fallen soldiers. On the 26th, the parade will start with the National Salute and will last for about 90 minutes. Many cultural performers will welcome the event with music from all over India.
The Indian Air Force will also show off its skills with a flypast of many aircraft, including fighter jets like the MiG-29 and Su-30. There will be many groups marching, including a special motorcycle display by talented soldiers. An exciting highlight is that Captain Dimple Singh Bhati will salute the President while riding a ladder on a motorcycle, making her the first woman to do so in Republic Day history.
States like Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, and others will display their colorful tableaux, making the parade a grand showcase of India’s unity and heritage.
