Indians Salute Women Power And Celebrate The 70th Republic Day With Garv!
India celebrated the 70th Republic day in the best way possible. People gathered in crowds from our country and abroad to witness the very famous Republic Day parade in the morning. Like usual the function began with the singing of National Anthem after which our Prime Minister, Narendra Modi received the chief guest for the function at the main stage. President Ram Nath Kovind and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa graced the event with their presence which was followed by 21-gun salute, as per the traditions.
But the centre of attraction at this year's Republic Day celebrations was the women parade. Female officers led the contingents of the Navy, the Army services and the Corps of Signals. The women of our nation created history with their inclusion in the combat role in the Indian defence forces. An all-women contingent of Assam Rifles marched on Rajpath for the first time ever which was led by Major Khushboo Kanwar.
