India Republic Day 2021: Netizens took to social media to pay tribute and share some of the best moment from the parade.

The 72nd Republic Day celebrations at the national capital is unlike any other year.

While the historical day is commemorated with elaborate displays, bravery awards and the much-awaited gravity-defying stunts by motorcycle-borne men at Rajpath, this year, due to the Covid-19 protocols, many of the major attractions were missing. Even the number of guests was reduced to 25,000 from around 1.25 lakh last year.

The curtailed celebrations, however, did not stop people from taking to social media to share some of the best moments from the parade. Here, take a look:
