NEW DELHI:

A letter from the defence ministry to the culture ministry details its choice, and says the idea came from defence minister Rajnath Singh. "As discussed, Hon'ble RRM (Raksha Rajya Mantri) suggested that during next year's Republic Day parade, a tableau containing military history showcasing original equipment, weapons, etc of popular and legendary personalities like Shivaji Maharaj, Ranapratap, Rani Laxmibai, etc may kindly be displayed in the main parade," says the letter, which has been reviewed by HT.

A culture ministry official said that the defence ministry has selected ancient military strategy as its central theme. "The defence ministry sends us a proposal every year regarding their choice of theme. This year, they specified the ancient warfare concept and asked for 2-3 preliminary 3D sketches showing potential tableau designs. We aim to submit the formal proposal complete with these sketches later this month. If approved, detailed development will follow," the official added.
