NEW DELHI, Jan. 30 -- India celebrated centuries old military tradition - 'Beating the Retreat' ceremony on Tuesday at Vijay Chowk.
No doubt, the performance of Tri Services (Army, Navy and Air force), Indian Paramilitary and state police enthralled the guests in the mesmerising evening in the foothills of Raisina hills but, this year, no Indian classical instrument was played, hence the Royal Indian battlefield tunes were absent.
Around 27 performances on the historic Vijay Chowk enthralled the spectators with captivating and foot-tapping music of Indian Armed Forces (IAF). But, people were missing the spellbinding tune of "Bharat Hamko Jaan Se Payara hai", an Indian song sung by famous singer Hariharn.
