NEW DELHI, Jan. 26, 2024 (TBINN)
India ushered in its 75th Republic Day today with a grand display of its women power and military might that included elite marching contingents, missiles, war-planes, surveillance gadgets and lethal weapon systems, with French President Emmanuel Macron gracing the occasion as Chief Guest.
For the first time, an all-women tri-services contingent marched down the Kartavya Path, reflecting country’s growing ‘Nari Shakti’.
In another first, the parade was heralded by over 100 women artistes playing Indian musical instruments such as sankh, naadswaram and nagada instead of traditional military bands kickstarting the celebrations.
