First, let's look at Independence Day. After about 200 years of rule, india gained independence from the british on august 15, 1947. Independence Day is an event that is celebrated annually. That is, that day is frozen in history as a symbol of colonial oppression and the rise of an independent new nation. On Independence Day, the prime minister hoists the national flag of the country at a ceremony held at the historic red Fort in Delhi. During Independence Day, the flag is tied to a rope at the bottom of the flagpole. When the national anthem is played, the prime minister hoists the flag to the top of the pole. Hoisting the flag in this way reflects the freedom that the people of the country have won hard and the sacrifices made by countless martyrs during the freedom struggle. Republic Day is celebrated every year on january 26 to commemorate the adoption of the indian Constitution in 1950. It also signifies the abolition of british laws and the establishment of a democratic republic through its own laws. Therefore, on this day, the President of india hoists the national flag at the delhi duty station. Notably, unlike Independence Day, on Republic Day (76th Republic Day), the flag is already tied with a knot at the top of the flagpole. The President simply pulls and unties the knot. Then, flowers fly from inside the flag.

Hoisting the flag in this way reflects the country's commitment to constitutional values and democracy. It is noteworthy that the flag-hoisting ceremony is followed by grand parades to showcase the country's cultural diversity and military strength.
