In an impressive display India’s
military prowess was on full
display at the 63rd Republic
Day parade on Thursday
that also showcased the
country’s rich heritage.
The early morning chill did not
deter people along the eight-
km-parade route as they gathered
on both sides of the majestic
Rajpath, the country’s
ceremonial boulevard.
The synchronized military and
police formations marched proudly
to the lilting tunes of bands through
the Rajpath where President
Pratibha Patil, who is the Supreme
Commander of Armed Forces,
took salute.
The impressive march-past was
watched by :
Thai PM Yingluck Shinawatra,
Vice President Hamid Ansari,
PM Manmohan Singh,
Defence Minister A.K. Antony,
UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi,
Marshal of Air Force Arjan Singh
and top political and
military brass.
The Hindu 63rd Republic Day celebrations
long Live India ;-)
