While it's good to see official celebrations, I sometimes wish there was more public involvement in these judicial events. The spirit of Republic Day is for every citizen, not just dignitaries. Just a respectful thought.

The emphasis on Vande Mataram's 150 years is so powerful. It connects our freedom struggle to today's celebrations. Seeing the police band play the anthem must have been a moving moment.

As a lawyer from Delhi, I appreciate this report. The judiciary upholding the ceremonial aspects of our Republic reinforces the rule of law. The Guard of Honour for the CJ is a nice touch. Long live our Republic!

The real celebration of Republic Day is when every citizen, from a judge to a common man, truly understands and lives by the principles of justice, liberty, and equality mentioned in the article. That's the ultimate goal.
