Indian Navy grooves to Bollywood tune prepping for Republic Day parade
With the 73rd Republic Day just around the corner, preparations for the celebration in the national capital is in full swing. In such a scenario, a clip displaying the Republic Day parade rehearsal of the Indian Navy has emerged. The clip, posted on Twitter, was shared by the official handle of the Indian government.
In the clip, we can get a glimpse of Indian Navy officials dressed in their uniforms and holding their rifles during their rehearsal. However, the Navy personnel are not marching as you would expect them to. Rather, the personnel, filed up in rows, are clapping against their rifles and grooving to the tunes of RD Burman's famous song Duniya Mein Logon Ko. In the meantime, the song is being played by the Indian Army band with confidence.
The caption of the video read, "Can't get over this video of Indian Navy's Republic Day parade rehearsal at Vijay Chowk, New Delhi." The caption credited photo journalist Arun Sharma for the original clip. The clip has collected more than 46,800 views and counting.
