The independence came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 (10 & 11 Geo 6 c 30), an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new independent Dominions of the British Commonwealth (later Commonwealth of Nations).[2] India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor­general. The country, though, did not yet have a permanent constitution; instead its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 29 August 1947, a resolution was moved for the appointment of Drafting Committee, which was appointed to draft a permanent constitution, with Dr B R Ambedkar as chairman. While India's Independence Day celebrates its freedom from British Rule, the Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of its constitution. A draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Constituent Assembly on 4 November 1947.[3] The Assembly met, in sessions open to public, for 166 days, spread over a period of two years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution. After many deliberations and some modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand­written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. Two days later which was on 26 January 1950, it came into effect throughout the whole nation. On that day, Dr. Rajendra Prasad's began his first term of office as President of the Indian Union. The Constituent Assembly became the Parliament of India under the transitional provisions of the new Constitution.[citation needed] Celebrations The main Republic Day celebration is held in the national capital, New Delhi, at the Rajpath before the President of India. On this day, ceremonious parades take place at the Rajpath, which are performed as a tribute to India; its unity in diversity and rich cultural heritage. Delhi Republic Day parade President Rajendra Prasad (in the Main article: Delhi Republic Day parade horse­drawn carriage) readies to take part in the first Republic Day parade on The Delhi Republic Day parade is held in Rajpath, New Delhi, in 1950. the capital, New Delhi and is organised by the Ministry of Defence. Commencing from the gates of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (the President's residence), Raisina Hill on Rajpath past the India Gate, this event is the main attraction of India's Republic Day Celebrations and lasts for three days. The parade showcases India's Defence Capability, Cultural and Social Heritage.[4] Nine to twelve different regiments of the Indian Army in addition to the Navy, and Air Force with their bands march past in all their finery and official decorations. The President of India who is the Commander­in­Chief of the Indian Armed Forces, takes the salute. Twelve contingents of various para­military forces of India and police forces also take part in this parade.[5] Beating Retreat Main article: Beating Retreat The Beating Retreat ceremony is held after officially denoting the end of Republic Day festivities. It is conducted on the evening of 29 January, the third day after the Republic Day. It is performed by the bands of the three wings of the military, the Indian Army, Indian Navy and Indian Air Force. The venue is Raisina Hill and an adjacent square, Vijay Chowk, flanked by the North and South block of the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace) towards the end of Rajpath.[6] The Chief Guest of the function is the President of India who arrives escorted by the (PBG), a cavalry unit. When the President arrives, the PBG commander asks the unit to give the National Salute, which is followed by the playing of the Indian National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, by the Army. The Army develops the ceremony of display by the massed bands in which Military Bands, Pipe and Drum Bands, Buglers and Trumpeters from various Army Regiments besides bands from the Navy and Air Force take part which play popular tunes like Abide With Me, Mahatma Gandhi's favourite hymn, and Saare Jahan Se Achcha at the end.[7][8][9] Award distribution On the eve of Republic Day, the President of India distributes Padma Awards to the civilians of India every year. These are the second highest civilian awards in India after Bharat Ratna. These awards are given in three categories, viz. Padma Vibhushan, Padma Bhushan and Padma Shri, in decreasing order of importance. Padma Vibhushan for "exceptional and distinguished service". Padma Vibhushan is the second­highest civilian award in India. Padma Bhushan for "distinguished service of a high order". Padma Bhushan is the third­highest civilian award in India . Padma Shri for "distinguished service". Padma Shri is the fourth­highest civilian award in India. While being national honours, the Padma awards do not include cash allowances, benefits, or special concessions in rail/air travel.[10] Per a December 1995 judgment of the Supreme Court of India, no titles or honorifics are associated with the Bharat Ratna or any of the Padma awards; Honorees cannot use them or their initials as suffixes, prefixes or pre­ and post­nominals attached to the awardee's name. This includes any such use on letterheads, invitation cards, posters, books etc. In the case of any misuse, the awardee will forfeit the award, and he or she will be cautioned against any such misuse upon receiving the honour.[11] The decoration comprises a sanad (Certificate) issued under the hand and seal of the President and a Medallion. The recipients are also given a replica of the medallion, which they can wear during any ceremonial/State functions etc., if they desire. A commemorative brochure giving out brief details in respect of each award winner is also released on the day of the investiture ceremony.[citation needed] Gallery The Flag of India on Republic Day A dog jumping through a ring of fire at a Republic Day celebration in Nagapattinam Buildings on Raisina Hill including Rashtrapati Bhavan, lit up during Republic Day 2008.

  • Republic Day Camp 2021 the Rajpath Experience
    Republic Day Camp 2021 The Rajpath Experience NC1 Anirudh S Bhaskaran Sacred Heart College Thevara 7(K) Naval Unit, EKM Group, K&L Directorate The Republic Day Parade, one of, if not the most iconic and colourful shows of Military Might and National Pride. As a young boy, every morning on the 26th of January, I was glued to the television at the break of day along with my family. While my parents had to leave for work, I remained watching Doordarshan, a channel, which I scowered for, on this day alone. Watching the parade on the Rajpath was a tradition for me. The name of “King’s Way”, as it was known, had been justified on this day, as the Men and Women of the Armed Forces of our Nation, marched down with pride, evident on their faces, and in every step. The colorful contingents marching in the foreground of the Indian Tricolour to the rhythm and beat of the Martial Bands were enough to give me a rush of adrenaline and goosebumps from excitement. Amongst all these marching contingents, towards the end, was unmistakably, the only contingent representing the Army, Navy and Air Force all at once. This, was the Rajpath Contingent of the National Cadet Corps. Unbeknownst to me at the time, was that one day, I would be an NCC Cadet, who would proudly bear the Rajpath Badge on my uniform. On the very day I enrolled myself in the National Cadet Corps’s Naval Wing, I was adamant on one thing, that must earn my way to the Republic Day Camp and march on the Rajpath during the Republic Day Parade.

  • Leaving the Commonwealth: Explanations from Different Viewpoints
    Leaving the Commonwealth: explanations from different viewpoints Naam: Rixte Schermerhorn Studentnummer: 1509381 Docent: Wouter Veenendaal Bachelorproject: Kleine Staten Datum: 12-6-2017 Woordenaantal: 8315 1 Introduction Following The Gambia leaving the Commonwealth in 2013 (Hultin, Jallow, Lawrance, & Sarr, 2017), President Yameen of the Maldives recently announced in October 2016 that his country would also be leaving the Commonwealth (Safi, 2016). It is unusual for members states to leave the Commonwealth, few states that have done so usually later rejoined. Moreover, most states that did leave the Commonwealth were actually suspended from the organisation. That small states are leaving the Commonwealth at all is striking, due to the perceived benefits of being a member of the organisation. These supposed benefits range from financial resources for projects to technical assistance and policy recommendations (Commonwealth Secretariat, 2014a). However, after the presidential elections in December 2016, the new president of The Gambia announced that his state would be rejoining the Commonwealth (BBC, 2017). Consequently, this shows that the organisation still holds some appealing qualities for small states. Thus, by using the Maldives and The Gambia as case studies, the arguments for leaving the organisation despite the supposed benefits of being a member state are considered. This thesis aims to outline the various arguments on why the small states left the Commonwealth. It will predominantly focus on the arguments given in the small states the Maldives and The Gambia, whilst also taking into account the comparative views of the Commonwealth. This thesis is also of social relevance as it provides insight into how former colonies deal with their colonial past and their own identity, as well as highlighting the relationship small states have with an international organisation (‘IO’) set up by their former coloniser.
