Today was a day off of work - but, alas, I was in the office. It relates back to some breaking headlines mentioned in prior blog posts, but I'll leave it at that. Work details on the blog is a no-no....... a founding principle I had when I created it.
So, what holiday did I miss? I missed Republic Day. A Republic is a nation without a king..... I didn't know that until about 5 years ago.
How does Independence Day in India differ from Republic Day if Independence Day was the day India shed British rule (and consequently lost their king)?
India declared independence two years before the British and India actually parted ways, which happened in 1950.
I had no idea..... and chances are that you didn't either. So, now we all know.
