Festivals of India 

Every year, a grand Republic day parade is held in New Delhi, India's capital city to observe the anniversary of the Indian Republic. The Government of India spends a lot of energy and resources to put up a good show and the various government agencies spend the several months planning for the event.

But for most Indians, born after the independence (in 1947), the day has lost its meaning and value. It has just become yet another day not to go to work or school.
