January 26 is India's Republic day.It is celebrated with great pomp and show.A spectacular display of India's achievements in all areas is showcased,march pasts and colourful pageantry down Rajpath in the capital Delhi ends with a brilliant display of air power and air devilry by men from the Indian Air Force. It fills our hearts with pride at being an Indian.

It is one of the declared National holidays, the others being 02 October (Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday), and 15 August (Independance Day). Schools and offices remain closed and there is general patriotic fervour all around.
