New Delhi: India began its Republic Day celebrations from Jan. 23, a first, to include the 125th birth anniversary of late freedom fighter Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose.
To mark the occasion, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled the hologram statue of Netaji at India Gate in New Delhi — under the cupola where the statue of British monarch King George V once stood — amid much fanfare and pomp. The hologram will stay in place till the time the work for the "grand statue" of Netaji, made of granite, is completed.
