Republic Day Takes Indians Down the Memory Lane As Desis Relive Celebration in School With Memes

Today, India is donning its festive attire as it cheers on the 75th Republic Day, commemorating the adoption of the Constitution on January 26, 1950. The atmosphere is not just charged with pride and happiness but also with a collective determination to elevate the nation to new heights. From President Droupadi Murmu’s early morning flag hoisting at Kartavya Path, followed by the Republic Day 2024 parade, to the spirited special assemblies in schools and government institutes celebrating Gatantra Diwas, the festivities are in full swing.

Amidst the festivities, what’s keeping the internet buzzing with excitement is the flood of wishes and greetings. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This year, social media is a time machine, transporting Indians back to the days when attending Republic Day celebrations in schools was the epitome of cool. The images of everyone in crisp white uniforms, marching in the parade, and indulging in Laddoos and Boondi Sev are painting a vivid picture of nostalgia.

In that case, memes have emerged as the go-to medium for expressing these sentiments. The micro-blogging site ‘X’ is currently ablaze with a riot of viral memes capturing the essence of the day and the emotions of the public.

Meanwhile, at the heart of the nation’s capital, a grand parade is unfolding at Kartavya Path. It’s not just a display of India’s military prowess and cultural diversity; this year, there’s a special spotlight on Nari Shakti, celebrating women’s empowerment. In a historic first, an all-women tri-services contingent is taking center stage in the parade. The excitement doesn’t stop there – French President Emmanuel Macron, the chief guest, has graced the occasion, joining hands with Indian President Droupadi Murmu to lead the revelries.
