Republic Day 2025: Why Is Tricolour ‘Hoisted’ On Independence Day But ‘Unfurled’ On R-Day?
ABP NewsRepublic Day 2025: Have you ever wondered why the Indian national flag is treated differently on Independence Day, when the Tricolour is hoisted, and Republic Day, when it is unfurled? These dates — Independence Day and Republic Day — carry their own traditions and symbols tied to the flag. This distinction in practice reflects the evolution of India’s journey: Independence Day celebrates the struggle for freedom, while Republic Day honours the establishment of India as a sovereign republic under its Constitution. Key Differences At A Glance Independence Day Action: Flag is hoisted from the base of the pole Location: Red Fort, Old Delhi Symbolism: Marks the end of colonial rule and the beginning of Independence Republic Day : Action: Flag, already at the top of the pole, is unfurled Location: Kartavya Path, New Delhi Symbolism: Celebrates the adoption of the Constitution and the sovereignty of the Republic These ceremonial differences, while subtle, signify India’s enduring respect for its history and constitutional values.
