India holds a second Republic Day Parade—in reverse and only for the Trumps

India holds a second Republic Day Parade—in reverse and only for the Trumps

It was like India badly wanted the Trumps to see what they missed on Jan. 26 this year. Almost a month ago, like it does every year, India held the grand annual Republic Day Parade, which, besides displaying India’s military might, showcased its sociocultural splendours with a series of tableaux from the country’s many states. Today (Feb. 24), India did it again—at least partly, and in reverse—for the US president and his wife, Melania.
