January 2025 has indeed turned out to be an exciting month, especially for astronomers and stargazers. The January night sky is offering us a spectacular celestial event with the alignment of six planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Venus, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. A planet parade, also called a planetary alignment or planet line-up, is not rare but not that common either, especially six planets aligning. The six planets have already aligned in the sky, four of which are visible to the naked eye and two which require the assistance of a telescope or binoculars. The planets, though millions of kilometres apart, appear to be aligned from our view point on Earth due to their position on the ecliptic plane.

Republic Day 2025 Fancy Dress Competition Ideas: Republic Day 2025 will mark the 76th Republic Day celebration in India. Republic Day, or Gantantra Diwas in India, is a day of national pride, celebrating the spirit of unity, freedom, and democracy. It’s a time when children across the country participate in various activities to commemorate the historic moment of India’s constitution coming into effect. One popular activity is the fancy dress competition, where children dress up as iconic figures who have played significant roles in shaping the nation’s history.
If you are looking for creative and meaningful ideas for kids to dress up for a Republic Day fancy dress competition, here are some wonderful options that will not only make them stand out but also help them learn about India’s rich history and freedom struggle:
Mahatma Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi, the father of the nation, is an ideal figure for a Republic Day fancy dress. Dressing up as Gandhi is simple yet impactful. A child can wear a white dhoti and a round pair of spectacles and carry a walking stick (Lathi). You can also add a small tricolour flag as an accessory. Gandhi’s character represents peace, non-violence, and the power of truth, making it a meaningful choice for young participants.
Subhas Chandra Bose
Subhas Chandra Bose, a prominent freedom fighter known for his strong stance against British colonial rule, is another great option. A child can dress in a military-inspired outfit with a cap, khaki shirt, and trousers. You can also have them carry a replica of the Indian National Army (INA) flag or salute in true “Jai Hind” fashion. Bose’s bravery and leadership during the freedom struggle make him a great inspiration for kids.
Rani Laxmibai
Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, one of the most iconic female warriors in Indian history, provides a fantastic opportunity for a unique Republic Day costume. A child can dress in a traditional royal outfit, complete with a saree, jewellery, and a sword or shield. The costume should reflect the spirit of courage, independence, and resilience that the queen symbolized during the First War of Indian Independence.
Jawaharlal Nehru
As the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru is an inspiring figure for children. Nehru’s trademark look includes a white kurta-pajama, a Nehru jacket, and a white cap. To make the look more distinctive, a child can carry a small toy or replica of Nehru’s famous “chacha” or a tricolour flag. His dedication to the country’s progress and his love for children make him an excellent choice for a Republic Day fancy dress.
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Indian Constitution, is a highly significant figure in Indian history. For this costume, a child can wear a formal suit, glasses, and a white shirt to replicate Ambedkar’s classic look. Carrying a small book or a replica of the Indian Constitution can enhance the outfit. Ambedkar’s contribution to the nation’s social justice and equality is an important lesson for children, making this a meaningful costume choice.
Bhagat Singh
Bhagat Singh, one of the most celebrated revolutionary freedom fighters, can be an inspiring figure for a Republic Day fancy dress competition. A child can dress in a simple kurta-pajama and wear a hat similar to the one Bhagat Singh famously wore. A toy pistol or a tricolour flag can be added to the costume for effect. Bhagat Singh’s courage and sacrifice for India’s freedom are qualities that children can learn from and be inspired by.
Republic Day fancy dress competitions are a fun and educational way for children to learn about India’s history and the great personalities who shaped the nation. These costume ideas—ranging from Mahatma Gandhi to Bhagat Singh—provide both an opportunity for creativity and a chance to instil values like patriotism, courage, and social justice in young minds. Whichever figure a child chooses to represent, the most important thing is to make sure they understand the significance of their costume and the role that person played in India’s journey to independence and beyond.

WASHINGTON — Lawmakers refused to say how many genders there are when confronted just days after President Donald Trump proclaimed that there are only two “not changeable” sexes: male and female.
Former President Joe Biden refrained from defining gender as strictly binary and issued directives supporting the recognition of individual gender identity on federal documents. This included allowing Americans to select “X” as a gender option on their passports, alongside male and female. In contrast, Trump’s order, declaring the existence of only two genders, will reverse efforts allowing the use of a gender different from that assigned at birth on documents like driver’s licenses.
In the wake of Trump’s order, Fox News Digital surveyed lawmakers on Capitol Hill about the number of recognized genders, but most members of Congress refused to answer the question.
“I have one meeting to go to, that’s all I’m worried about right now,” Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, told Fox when asked how many genders there are.

Another Democrat, Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., told Fox that there are “two” genders but that “people are often uncertain what there is.”

Trump is taking aim at several of Biden’s federal orders surrounding gender identity, such as revoking the Enabling All Qualified Americans to Serve Their Country in Uniform order, which allowed transgender people to serve in the military.
