President Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, President Emmanuel Macron of France, who was this year's chief guest, graced the occasion.
This year's Republic Day was even more special as the theme was 'Nari Shakti'. All-women marching contingents, all-women bikers and performers enthralled the audience.
The Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, paid homage to all the great personalities who participated in the Dandi March, which began on this very day in 1930.
The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam emphasising on the triumph of truth:
“सत्यमेव जयति नानृतं सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः।
येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा यत्र तत्सत्यस्य परमं निधानम्॥”
The Subhashitam conveys that, truth always prevails and falsehood is ultimately destroyed. Therefore, one should follow the path on which the Sages attained bliss and realised the supreme truth.
The Prime Minister wrote on X;
“सन् 1930 में आज ही के दिन दांडी मार्च की शुरुआत हुई थी। इसमें शामिल सभी विभूतियों का श्रद्धापूर्वक स्मरण!
सत्यमेव जयति नानृतं सत्येन पन्था विततो देवयानः।
येनाक्रमन्त्यृषयो ह्याप्तकामा यत्र तत्सत्यस्य परमं निधानम्॥”
