What Is The Meaning Of the 21-Gun Salute On Republic Day?

It's our 74th year since the first inception of the Indian constitution on 26 January 1950. The day marks celebrations across the country, and we all look forward to the various events at the Rajpath in New Delhi. Our Republic Day processions include multiple events occurring in a particular order year by year with the same finesse and discipline. Each Republic Day celebration event holds its significance and historical backing. One moment that fills our hearts with pride is the 21-gun salute to honor our President of the country and our national flag. 

So, let's understand more about this honor.

Rules - Parallel Track of Life : Importance of Rules

Life and rules are like parallel sides of a road, one compliments each other so well that our journey is a smooth ride. But few think that they are burdened by following many rules. Rules should not be considered a burden, as they are meant to ease our day to day activities. Every house follows certain rules, which are set by elders keeping in mind the interest of each one in the family; house runs perfectly. And likewise in a country; if each one of us follow them everything around us would become easy to handle. A society without rules would be a complete mess.

For a few seconds imagine that all the rules and regulations just get vanished …...Phew....and all are free to do what they want to. You are free to do anything, yes anything…..the feeling itself brings smile to persons who are burdened by plenty of regulations.

But doesn’t it sound absurd to you. On one side its fine we can do what our heart wishes for, but just think if someone else wish doesn’t match with ours. If one person wants to celebrate an event and wants to play the loud music and party all night, and suppose that person turns out to be your neighbor and moreover you are not invited to party. All your requests for a quiet surrounding goes unheard, for a good and sound sleep and you can’t force them to do so; remember the world is now free of rules. UFF! Life would be more challenging. This was just an example. World without rules;…….a big NO for me.
