#NariShakti or #WomenEmpowerment is fine but where were the men in this year's #RepublicDayParade ?

I missed the 'Men in Uniform' this #RepublicDay parading like in this #Painting "Maharana Jagat Singh of #Udaipur #Mewar #Rajasthan Riding the #Elephant Bhramargaj"

On our 74th #RepublicDayCelebration, the Chief Guest was #EmmanuelMacron President of #France
Almost all the March-past contingents were 'all women'
