India and France will experience a new feeling of fraternity and solidarity on our Republic Day Parade-2016. His Excellency Mr Francois Hollande, President of the Republic of France will be the Chief Guest of the great Indian annual show of military might, cultural resurgence and energized youth power. Thanks to the untiring efforts of Pradhan Mantri Narendra Modi, a new bon-homie is developing between the two nations. Both have suffered the pain inflicted by Islamist terror and it is one of the many binding factors. The Indian Rashtrapati Shri Pranab Mukherjee will be the chief host and take the salute at the parade.
For the first time ever, a contingent of the French Army will march past the high rostrum doing "Eyes Right" a salute to the Rashtrapati standing at the saluting dais. The French Army soldiers are already in India for rehearsals after their participation in a joint India-France anti-terror exercise named SHAKTI. A French military band comprising 80 army bandsmen will be playing martial music tunes to enable their marching compatriots keep in step. It will indeed be a show worth seeing
