India is busy in celebrating 70th Republic Day, & there were many things that people witnessed during the parade at Rajpath this year. Among the significant shift in change was the introduction of '#Shankhanad' (desi tune) – a martial tune created for the Indian Armed forces – for the first time in the history of Republic India.
Breaking the old custom of British tune, this was the first time the Indian Armed Forces played ‘Shankhanad’, composed especially for the Republic Day parade.
Composed by professor from Nagpur – Dr Tanuja Nafade – the ‘Shankhanad’ is based on a poem written by Brig. Vivek Sohal. Following the composition of the tune, the Mahar Regiment decided to remove British tune & bring Indian classical music. We're growing in terms of many aspect, its inevitable to have arguements, whether India would 've done it much prior, cheers!!!
