A glimpse of the first Republic Day celebrated in 1950

The then President of Indonesia Sukarno attended as the Chief Guest

Today is 26th January. Republic Day celebration will be seen all day today. Everyone is saluting India's progress with pride. The 74th Republic Day parade will thrill people to see tableaus depicting the culture of different states.

How was this day celebrated 74 years ago? The first Republic Day was celebrated in 1950. As today's celebration is taking place in the midst of bitter cold, January 26, 1950 was also bitterly cold. Incidentally today is also Thursday and it was also Thursday when the first Republic Day was celebrated. Now people use the 26th January holiday to go for a walk or watch movies, but in 1950 people never got tired of saying Maro Desh..Maro Desh.

As Gamegam is celebrated on 26th now, Gamegam tricolor was hoisted in 1950 also. Today, people have stylish jackets and sweaters, comfortable hand gloves, warm innerwear, but in 1950s such variety was not seen.

On the 26th of 1950 in Delhi, those who came to participate in the parade and the spectators wore two clothes instead of one to protect themselves from the cold and wrapped a piece of cloth on their heads.

Where was there anything like mobile technology in the 1950s? There was no way to contact the people who came to see the parade if they got separated. In earlier times, if children were lost in the fair, there would be an announcement on the loudspeaker like 'Babo of four years has been found...', remember?

Today people have to be injected with deshdaze, but in the 1950s, deshdaze was naturally spreading among the masses. The fact that the constitution of the independent country was formed and it came into force on 26th January was visible to all.

Many people had brought their children on their shoulders to watch the flag hoisting. Back then there was no strict security checking like today, no sniffer dogs roaming the grounds. There was no fear of an attack from anywhere. Simple police used to take care of the entire system. It was only to see that no one entered the crowd with a weapon.

A place where lakhs of people have gathered would be a better time than cleaning up afterwards. Look fun. After the grand celebration at the Red Fort on 26th January 1950, there was no special need for cleaning the next day. This shows the sense of self-discipline in the people.

The country became independent on August 15, 1947, but after three years, it is said that the country got true independence. The whole country was waiting for a well-defined constitution. That is why the Republic Day of January 26 was celebrated with great pride. In 1950, three weeks of practice were conducted before the celebration of this historic day. On this day, the first President of the country Dr. Rajendra Prasad's tenure was about to begin. The 26th date was chosen because the slogan of Purna Swaraj was raised on January 26, 1929.

From 1950 to 1954, Republic Day parades were held at Irvine Stadium (now National Stadium), Kings Way, Red Fart (Red Fort) and Ramlila Maidan. From 1955 the parade shifted to Rajpath. Every year the head of each country is present as the chief guest in this parade. In the first parade on January 26, 1950, the then president of Indonesia, Sukarno, attended as the chief guest.

The President of India took a salute from the bodyguards and then hoisted the national flag amid a 21-gun salute. At that time, there was no live telecast, no social media, but the entire atmosphere was enraptured by the spirit of patriotism shining in the speech and behavior of each and every citizen.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

Image
New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Talking about Delhi: Government will bring home loan subsidy scheme

Image
New Delhi: The government is planning to re-implement the Home Loan Subsidy Scheme to win the Lok Sabha and the five state assembly elections to be held before it. Sources say that the central government will soon announce a Rs 60,000 crore home loan subsidy scheme for people living in raw houses, slums and rented houses in urban areas.

Under this scheme, loans of up to 9 lakh rupees will be available at subsidized interest rates starting from 3 percent to 6 percent per annum and 25 lakh people living in urban areas will benefit.

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B
