Yup.

It unnecessarily increases the duration of the parade and gives no extra information. Civilians keep celebrating their culture and festivals all year long anyway. Republic day is about the establishment of the State and its various instruments of state power. It's the State's opportunity to use it as a platform to make Indians aware of national power and achievements.

[mayfair]

Doordarshan messes up the flypast again...

 

[Tanmay]

Rudra
3 C 130J
2 Sukhois and Netra
2 Sukhois and C 17
3 Tejas
5 jaguars
5 mig 29
3 Sukhois in trademark trishul
Sukhois everywhere


Dude that was awesome maneuvering by sukhoi. First time
Idiot camera men were focussing more on people and dignitaries. Extremely hazy and lousy job. Usual dd flypast coverage capturing more of pink Amit Shah

 

[mayfair]

I wonder if DD camerapersons are actually that incompetent or someone pays them to mess at the most opportune moment, in this case the Tejas flypast.
