REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATIONS

The struggle of India against the rule of the Queen and the repressive British colonialism is well-known. As India gained its much sought independence in 1947, about two centuries after it was colonised, many leaders knew that independence from external rulers just wasn’t enough. People must have rights, duties and responsibilities to live respectable and dignified lives. Republic Day is celebrated as the day when India acquired a written Constitution and became an independent republic. This year, India celebrates 68 years of being a republic.

The Constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949 and came into effect on January 26, 1950.

The country celebrates the day with vigor and excitement. Especially in the Capital, the grand and colourful Republic Day parade is something that a lot of Indians gathered at the India Gate and Rajpath looks forward to seeing. The rich culture and heritage of India is celebrated along with the unity in its beautiful diversity.

Although these are facts that almost everybody knows, there are still a lot of things embedded in India’s history that many are yet to know.

Here are five interesting facts about Republic Day that many do not know of.

* 26 January was chosen to be observed as the Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 when the Indian National Congressdeclared Purna Swaraj or Indian independence from the British regime.

* To date, India has the longest written Constitution in the world. It has 448 articles in 22 Parts, 12 Schedules and 97 Amendments.

* Abide With Me, a Christian hymn is played at the end of the Republic Day ceremony every year. It is believed to be one of Mahatma Gandhi’s favourite songs.

* Our Constitution, that took Dr BR Ambedkar — Chairman of the Constitution Committee about two years and 11 months to make the first draft — was a work of inspiration. The five-year-plans were taken from the constitution of the USSR and concepts of liberty, equality and fraternity from the French constitution.

The eyes of the world will be on Mr Trump as he promises of Office, and offers his inaugural address.

He will supplant Barack Obama in the White House, however not before a function that goes back to George Washington.

Barack Obama welcomes president-elect Trump to the White House

At the point when and where is Trump's Presidential initiation?

Donald Trump's introduction to end up president happens at twelve nearby time (5pm GMT) on Friday, January 20.

The principle service is held at the White House, trailed by various Inaugural Balls over the city of Washington DC.

The official swearing-in service happens on the means before the Capitol.

Why would that be a crevice between US race and presidential introduction?

The US decision was hung on November 8, 2016, however Donald Trump does not authoritatively get to be president until early afternoon on January 20.

Until 1933, the new president was initiated on March 4, four months after race day.


This was then abbreviated to around two months with the confirmation of the twentieth Amendment.

The time between US decision and introduction takes into consideration the officeholder, or 'intermediary', president to take care of any potential issues, and for the approaching president to get ready for his residency by chipping away at strategy and naming his bureau.

Be that as it may, the primary purpose behind the deferral is to take into account the decision to proceed. On November 8, individuals from the general population cast their votes – yet not specifically for who they need to be president.

Americans vote in favor of individuals called "balloters" in their state who are supporting the competitor they need to end up president – this procedure is known as the 'Constituent College'.

The more individuals who live in an express, the more balloters there are for that state. The hopeful with the most balloters wins all the state's appointive school votes and the main possibility to win enough states to get to 270 constituent votes is chosen to that office.

Mr Trump was proclaimed authoritatively the president-elect when the Texas votes were tallied, pushing him over the 270-vote limit.

After the December 19 vote, Mr Trump completed with 304 discretionary votes and his Democrat adversary Hillary Clinton got 227. Seven voters resisted tradition and conflicted with the well known vote, declining to vote in favor of either competitor.

The outcomes from December 19 were affirmed by Congress on January 6.

Mike Pence, the VP choose, will guarantee without further ado before Mr Trump.

The unsettles and twists frame a display before an execution of the president's song of devotion, "Hail to the Chief", and the VP's hymn, "Hail, Columbia". There is then a 21-firearm salute from the howitzers of the military region of Washington.

The inaugural address

After the swearing in, Mr Trump will give a discourse that will, as every single inaugural address may be, be recorded in the pages of history.

Readings and blessing will originate from Rabbi Marvin Hier, Dean and Founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center; Rev. Franklin Graham of Samaritan's Purse and The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and also child of well known evangelist Billy Graham; and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries International.

Does the active president go to the introduction?

It is standard for the active president to go to the introduction of the approaching president, be that as it may, it is not mandatory.

President Obama is relied upon to be there at Donald Trump's introduction on Friday, however in the event that he doesn't, then he would be the primary president for a long time to make such a scorn.

The combine have had a strained relationship. Mr Trump beforehand asserted that Mr Obama was conceived outside the US and was in this way not a honest to goodness president, and later recommended he was the "organizer of Isis", however later withdrew on both cases.

Mr Obama savaged him all through the decision battle as untrustworthy and hazardous, cautioning that the "destiny of the world" was at hazard in case of a Trump administration.

Be that as it may, at their meeting after the US decision, both men struck a propitiatory note after they met to examine the move starting with one organization then onto the next.
