Ever wondered what India’s National Salute symbolises?

Ever wondered what India’s National Salute symbolises?

Published by Webster

The National Salute, popularly known as the 21-gun salute or ‘Ekees Topon ki Salami’, remains one of the most revered and symbolic rituals of India’s Republic Day celebrations. Rendered in honour of the President of India — the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces — the salute represents the highest form of military respect and, by extension, pays tribute to the sovereign Republic. At its core, the National Salute symbolises the authority of the Constitution and the supremacy of the people in a democratic republic. Unlike monarchies or colonial regimes, the President embodies the collective will of citizens, making the salute a reaffirmation of democratic equality rather than individual power. It also reflects peaceful intent, unity and the armed forces’ unwavering commitment to uphold the constitutional values of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. The ceremonial firing of 21 blank rounds is synchronised precisely with the playing of the National Anthem, Jana Gana Mana, which lasts approximately 52 seconds. The thunderous yet measured booms are not a display of military aggression but a ceremonial expression of …

Raj Kapoor is still remembered as one of the greatest filmmakers of Indian cinema but in his later films, many viewers started pointing out that women in his films were presented with a certain male gaze that seemed exploitative. Raj was aware of this criticism but he believed that was seen as exploitative by others, was his way of showing a woman’s beauty. Almost all of his films after the 1970s, including Bobby, Mera Naam Joker, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Prem Rog and Ram Teri Ganga Maili presented a lot of its female characters in a sexualised way and Raj addressed the same in the book presented by his daughter Ritu Nanda.

The film starred Zeenat Aman in the lead role and her costumes in the film created quite a stir in those days. Raj shared in the book, “We are shocked …

Late actor Smita Patil’s son Prateik Babbar has been very open about his struggles with addiction and in a recent conversation, Prateik shared that at one point in his life he hated his mother, and his father, actor Raj Babbar. Smita died in childbirth and Prateik grew up with his maternal grandparents, and reconnected with his father much later in life. Prateik said that the constant comparison with his mother in his early years in the movies did not bother him much because he hadn’t accepted himself as her son. “I was still battling with my own identity,” he said. Prateik said that now he has embraced being Smita’s son but back then, it was quite difficult for him. He shared with Bollywood Bubble, “I developed a hate for her, and my father, for both my parents.

At some point during his long rehabilitation, Mohammed Shami genuinely feared that the 2023 World Cup final was his last outing. In recent times, Indian cricket has seen the incredible comeback story of Jasprit Bumrah, who underwent a career-threatening back injury. With Shami, the story was no different. Unlike his pace-bowling partner in crime, even a casual walk was out of bounds for the 34-year-old, who on Thursday became India’s most successful bowler in ICC tournaments with 60 wickets in 19 matches. “I always wondered when I would be able to put my feet on the ground again, as someone who is used to running on the field constantly was now in crutches,” Shami told ICC about his recovery. “A lot of thoughts used to run through my mind. Will I be able to do it again? Will I be able to walk without a limp? For the first two months, I often doubted whether I would be able to play again as an injury like this followed by a 14-month break can pull you …
