Since 1950, India has been hosting head of state or government of another country as the state guest of honour for Republic Day celebrations in New Delhi. During 1950–1954, Republic Day celebrations were organised at different venues (like Irwin Amphitheatre, Kingsway, Red Fort and Ramlila Maidan). It was only starting 1955 when the parade in its present form was organised at Rajpath.[1] The guest country is chosen after a deliberation of strategic, economic and political interests. During 1950s–1970s, a number of Non-Aligned Movement and Eastern Bloc countries were hosted by India. In 1968 and 1974, India played host to two countries on the same Republic Day.

Chief Guests on Delhi Republic Day Parades
Every year republic day is celebrated by performing a parade along with the armed forces to honour the day. The importance of republic day is that on republic day which is the 26th of January 1950 our country India became a democratic republic and it is the day on which the Indian constitution came on board. In 2022 republic day will be falling on Wednesday.
There has been seen a great fall in the number of people allowed for being part of the parade. The earlier given numbers show that the number of people that were allowed for the parade was near about 1.3 lakhs and these numbers are related to the year before the COVID-19 i.e. the year before 2020.
According to the information given by the higher officials, the discussion is telling that again this year India won’t be inviting foreign officials to be a part of the republic day events, although India was in the plan for calling the leaders of nations such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan for the republic day event, supposed to be held in Delhi on 26th January.
It will be counted as the second time when no foreign officials will be present on the Republic day of India as chief guests. Because of the coronavirus, the number of people permitted to enter the parade is nearly 5-8 thousand.
The ministry of defence has clearly stated that while the event of republic day will be going on high measure will be taken to ensure the fact that the protocols made for COVID-19 is not broken and is sincerely followed by every individual present in the event. Every member will be asked for maintaining a safe distance from each other and according to that proper seat will be arranged. For keeping high safety at the place of the event sanitizer will be made easily available for every individual and they will be asked for putting on their masks all the time.

Chief Guests at Delhi Republic Day Parade 2023: This year Republic Day will be celebrated on Wednesday. Every year, it is celebrated with the armed forces holding a parade in honour of the day. This is the day when our Consitution came into force on 26 January 1950, making India a democratic republic.The sources in the Defence establishments said in 2020 that before the pandemic broke out in India, around 1.25 lakh people were permitted to attend the parade.
The GoI (Government of India) has chosen to reserve the front row for special official invitees this year, in 2023, though. The front row will be occupied by the Shramjeevis and their families, Kartavya Path maintenance workers, and other neighbourhood residents like rickshaw pullers and vegetable vendors.
This year's Republic Day festivities will focus on the "participation of the common people."
READ| Journey of the National Flag of IndiaIndia as an independent, sovereign, and democratic country implemented its constitution on 26 January 1950. Since then, India being the Democratic Republic celebrates a grand ceremony every year to commemorate Republic Day, and a Foreign Leader is invited every year by the Indian Government.
The initial four Republic day parades were held at different places (Red Fort, Ramlila Grounds, Irwin Stadium, Kingsway) between 1950 to 1954. However, in 1955, Rajpath was chosen as the permanent venue for Republic Day celebrations.
On 26 January 1950, Indonesian President Sukarno was the first Chief guest on the very first Republic Day parade of India. Representatives from the United Kingdom and France have been invited 5 times each.
How is Chief Guest chosen for India's Republic Day?
The Chief Guest at India's Republic Day parade is accorded the country's highest honour in protocol terms but do you know how the Republic Day Chief Guest is chosen?
Six months prior to Republic Day, the Indian Government sends the invitation to either the Head of State or the Government subject to the kind of relationship India has with the concerned country.
Before sending the invitation, the approval of the Indian Prime Minister is sought in addition to clearance from the President of India.
