While the event sounds wonderful, I wish they had more representation from local Assamese folk music too. Our armed forces are great at blending tradition with modernity - that would've made it even more special for the local community.

Jai Hind! These performances remind us of the sacrifices behind our freedom. The selfie points with info about Chandrayaan and Digital India are brilliant - making patriotism interactive for youth. More cities should have such events!

My father served in IAF for 25 years. Seeing these events always brings back childhood memories. The armed forces don't just protect us, they keep our culture alive through such initiatives. Salute to all personnel involved!

The thematic decorations about India's achievements were the highlight for me. Took my kids and they learned so much about our country's progress while enjoying the music. More such educational yet entertaining events please!
