Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday was given one of France's most prestigious recognition as the guest of honour at the Bastille Day Parade in Paris. One of the spectacular moments to watch was the French and Indian soldiers marching down the Champs-Elysees Avenue in Paris. However, the Bastille Day celebration holds immense significance for the Indian Army as it is very rare for France to invite foreign marching contingent or foreign aircraft to participate in it.
