Emerald Staff Writer
It was five o'clock in the morn
ing and there was enough traffic
on the roads to cause a jam The
day was Jan 7H, 1962. and the
place was New l>elhi, India—ap
proximately 16,1)00 miles from
Eugene.
UN MIN Drill, of the bitter cold
and strong wind, i»eoole were
rushing towards Haj Path, to have
a glimpse of the Kepublic Day
parade Raj Path is the stretch of
road extendin'; between Rashtra
pati Bhawan, Indian President’s
official residence, and India Gate,
a historical monument erected by
the British.
This road it the center of at
traction on liepuldic Day and it
is the attempt of all Indians not
to miss the spectacular parade
The enthusiasm is so great that
it is not unusual to find thousands
of people traveling a distance of
10 to 20 miles by bus, train, bul
lock earls, tongas, rickshaws and
bicycles.
ItY 8:20 A M., Haj Path, has on
its sides a surging sea of humani
ty anxiously waiting for the ar
rival of the President. Every inch
of available space is occupied.
Hundreds of persons can be seen
perched on trees and roof tops in
an attempt to get a better glimpse
oi the parade
Shortly before nine the Presi
dent arrives. Then the spectacular
display starts on its nine-mile
journey from Rashtranati Bhawan
to Red Fort, winding its way
through Kaj Path. Curzon Road.
Connaught Place. Minto Bridge,
Geston Beston Hoad. I.ahori Gate,
and Chandni Chowk. All along
this route are anxious eyes thirst
ing to have a glimpse of the floats
and the troops.
SMART INDIAN troops walk
elegantly to the heat of the mili
lary hand. All regiments of the
army can h- seen, following in
swift succession. Some famous In
dian regiments are the Dogras,
Gurkhas, Sikhs ami Jats. Follow
ing the troops are elephants,
school children, scouts, members
of the National Cadet Corps, folk
dancers, musicians and floats rep
resentative of the various Indian
States.

question.
