New Delhi is a cosmopolitan city due to the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural presence of the vast Indian bureaucracy and political system. The city capital status has amplified the importance of national events and holidays as its shown in New Delhi map. National events such as Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti (Gandhi birthday) are celebrated with great enthusiasm in New Delhi and the rest of India. On India Independence Day (15 August) the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation from the Red Fort. Most Delhiites celebrate the day by flying kites, which are considered a symbol of freedom. The Republic Day Parade is a large cultural and military parade showcasing India cultural diversity and military might.
