India comes together to celebrate Republic Day 2022 on January 26. This year, the country will mark the 73rd Republic Day after the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950. The Republic Day 2022 celebrations this year began with observing “Parakram Divas” on the birth anniversary of freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose on January 24.
It's a day that reminds us about the great history of our country and how it became a Republic. To mark the celebrations of this day, a parade, also called the Republic Day Parade is organised which showcases country's military strength and rich culture.
