Every year, a grand Republic day parade is held in New Delhi, India's capital city to observe the anniversary of the Indian Republic. The Government of India spends a lot of energy and resources to put up a good show and the various government agencies spend the several months planning for the event.
Celebrating the Constitution
The Republic Day celebrates the adoption of the Constitution of India.
But for most Indians, born after the independence (in 1947), the day has lost its meaning and value. It has just become yet another day not to go to work or school.
Update 2024: The above commentary was written in 1997 -- since
the emergence of nationalism in India, led by Narendra Modi, people
have started observing the Republic day in every nook and corner of
India.
