Celebrating the 72nd Republic Day amid the coronavirus pandemic, India on Tuesday showcased its military power and cultural heritage at the historic parade at Delhi’s Rajpath. As the country is also commemorating its victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war that led to the creation of Bangladesh, a 122-member contingent of the Bangladesh armed forces marched at the beginning. The parade also witnessed several major changes. The contingents only marched a distance of 3.5 km instead of the usual 8.5 km and for the first time in 55 years, no foreign dignitary attended the January 26 parade. Spectators below 15 years of age and above 65 were not allowed at the venue. Here are some historic visuals from the Republic Day parade that India will cherish forever.
