Video | 'From Russia With Love': India's Republic Day Celebrated in Dazzling Bollywood Style

The Russian mission in New Delhi on Friday joined foreign heads of state and ministers in congratulating India on its 75th Republic Day. In his congratulatory post on social media platform X, Russian envoy Denis Alipov extended warm greetings to the country.

Alipov referred to India’s vision of Amrit Kaal, denoting a 25-year aim to develop and transform the country. The term was first used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2021 during Independence Day celebrations. In a video shared on X, Russian children and adults perform a blend of Bollywood and Russian traditional dances.

‘Rusi-Bharatiya Dosti’

“Warmest congratulations on the #RepublicDay, India! Wishing our Indian friends prosperity, well-being and very bright #AmritKaal! Long live #Bharat! Long live Rusi-Bharatiya Dosti,” Ambassador Alipov wrote on X.

Top Indian officials have described New Delhi’s ties with Moscow as both important and steady. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar earlier this month had said that the bilateral relations with Russia have proven to be beneficial for India.

India is celebrating its 75th Republic Day today, honouring the adoption of the Constitution of India. New Delhi is all decked up to witness the grand parades on the famous Kartvya path, featuring the participation of the Indian armed forces and paramilitary organisations.

Earlier today, French President Emmanuel Macron arrived at Kartavya Path and attended the Republic Day celebrations as the chief guest. The two-day visit of Macron began in Jaipur on Thursday where he was joined by PM Modi.
