New Delhi: Republic Day celebrations will now begin a day earlier from January 23 to include the birth anniversary of Subash Chandra Bose, ANI quoted government sources as saying.

This is in line with the government’s decision to celebrate and commemorate important aspects of India’s history and culture.
