As India celebrates Republic Day today, the parade at the Kartavya Path in Delhi is ‘women-centric’, indicating the roles played by women in various sectors. For the first time, the parade is heralded by 100 women artists playing Indian musical instruments. The parade commenced with the music of Sankh, Naadswaram, Nagada, etc. played by women artists. French President Emmanuel Macron is the chief guest at the parade.
The theme of this year’s Republic Day is ‘Viksit Bharat’ and ‘Bharat: Loktantra ki Matruka’, which symbolise the country’s aspirations and its role as the nurturer of democracy.
