Indian tune instead of British played at R-Day parade for 1st time
'Shankhnaad', a martial tune created for the Indian armed forces, was played for the first time on the Republic Day as the defence forces earlier used the martial tune created by Britishers before Independence. The tune, which was dedicated to the nation in October 2018, is composed by Tanuja Nafde based on Brigadier Vivek Sohal's poem.
