Republic Day is celebrated with enthusiasm every year. This year the country is celebrating 71st Republic Day. Flag hoisting looks similar on Republic Day and on Independence Day. But very few people know what is the difference between the celebrations of these two national festivals, and we are going to tell you today about it.
Difference in hoisting the flag- On 15 August 1947, our country got independence and when the British flag was hoisted, hoisting the British flag down. At that time our Indian flag was moved from bottom to top and this process is called flag hoisting. For this reason, flag hoisting occurs on 15 August in this manner. Our constitution came into force on 26 January, so on this day, the flag tied above the first one is only hoisted.

Who does the flag hoisting in India – Prime Minister hoists the flag on August 15, but on January 26, the President hoists the flag. Reason because the Prime Minister is the political head of the country, while the President is the constitutional head.
Where it is hoisted – Every year the Independence Day celebrations are organized at the Red Fort. On 26 January 1950, when the Constitution of independent India came into force, the first Republic Day celebrations were organized at Rajpath.
