Independence Day and Republic Day

 Many people get confused between Independence Day and Republic Day, but do you know there is also a difference in the way the flag is hoisted on 15th August and 26th January?


1) First difference:

On the occasion of 15th August — the Independence Day, the flag is pulled up by a rope from below, then it is opened and hoisted. This is done to honor the historical event of 15 August 1947. In the constitution, it is called Flag Hoisting. On the other hand, on the occasion of 26 January — Republic Day, the flag remains tied at the top, which is then opened and hoisted. In the constitution, it is called Flag Unfurling.


2) Second difference:

On August 15, the Prime Minister (who is the head of the Central Government) hoists the flag, because the Constitution of India did not come into force on the day India got independence. The President (who is the constitutional head of the nation), did not take office till then. On the other hand, on Republic Day the President addresses the nation. 26 January is celebrated to commemorate the implementation of the Constitution in the country. On this day, the constitutional head hoists or the President hoists the flag.


3) 3rd difference:

The flag hoisting is done from the Red Fort on Independence Day. At the same time, the flag is unflured on the Rajpath on Republic Day.


As we INDIANS gear up to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Independence, this information is for every INDIAN to know about FLAG HOISTING JAI HIND 🇮🇳😊👍💐
