Some facts about Indian Constitution and Republic day parade

Here are some facts about Republic day, Indian Constitution and Republic day parade -

• The Republic Day celebrations is actually a three-day affair which begins with the President taking the salute at the parade and ending with the soulful and stirring ‘beating the retreat’ ceremony at the capital’s Vijay Chowk.

• The constituent assembly of India had actually signed off on the new constitution of independent India on 26 November 1949.  However, the official promulgation was deferred to January 26 to mark the call of Purna Swaraj (complete self-rule) given by Jawaharlal Nehru on the banks of the river Ravi in Lahore in 1930.

• The original constitution is a hand-written document that is kept in a helium-filled case at the Parliament library in New Delhi. There are two copies, one each in English and Hindi. It is the longest constitution on the world. 

• The parade involves over 25 marching and cavalry contingents, more than 20 military bands, 30 or more cultural tableaux and a flypast of over three dozen aircrafts. The parade is marked by the participation of over a 1,500 schoolchildren and NCC cadets.

• The Republic Day Parade takes places on the Rajpath which begins at the Vijay Chowk, right in front of the imposing gates of the Rashtrapati Bhawan, flanked by the North and South Block. It then winds it way around the India Gate and along the avenues of Lutyen’s Delhi to culminate at the Red Fort in Old Delhi - a distance of almost 7 kms.

• President Sukarno of Indonesia was the chief guest at the first republic day in 1950.
