Republic Day is an
Indian national holiday that commemorates the adoption of the Indian
constitution in 1950 on January 26.
It is one of the few holidays associated with Indian
independence that is observed according to the common calendar.
Republic Day, which is equivalent to the Fourth of July in
the United States, is commemorated throughout India's largest cities with large
parades.
The biggest takes place in New Delhi, from where it is aired
throughout the country, and features singers and entertainers from around the
country, as well as major displays of military hardware, including flyovers by
the country's newest jet fighters.
