This marks 69th republic day in India :) On January 26, 1950, the Constitution was adopted as the governing document of India. For Indians, the day is synonymous with the Republic Day parade that happens every year at India Gate in the capital.
Every year there is a notable chief guest appearance at INDIA gate in Delhi, in 2015 it was President Barack Obama. But this time it's not one but 10 chief guest at republic day. Here is the list:
Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei
Prime Minister Hun Sen of Cambodia
President Joko Widodo of Indonesia
Prime Minister Thongloun Sisoulith of LAOS
Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia
State Counsellor Daw Aung San Suu Kyi of Mayanmar
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte Philippines
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha of Thailand
Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc of Vietnam
Wondering Why 10 special guests?? It's because they are a part of a common pact know as ASEAN states:

So HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY :)
