The
2011 Republic Day Parade at the Shivaji Park grounds, Mumbai, Maharashtra attracted a really large crowd this year. It was a truly grand spectacle, with Navy & Army personnel, personnel of the Mumbai Police Force and Fire Brigade, scouts and guides, cadets and schoolchildren all putting up a splendid marchpast. Unfortunately, students from 2 visually challenged schools were not given permission to take part in the parade apparently because they had not been properly trained & lacked the perfect discipline & formation required for the march-past. The
Maharashtra Governor, His Excellency Shri K. Sankaranarayanan gave the Republic Day speech.
Here are some
