Prime Minister @narendramodi will be the Guest of Honour at France’s #BastilleDay celebrations on 14th July.
What does this mean?

➜ A thread on this special moment for France🇫🇷 & India🇮🇳: (1/8) Image
14 July is France’s National Day.

It dates back to the French Revolution.

It’s a moment for the French to celebrate what binds them together, especially the values of “liberty, equality, fraternity” - which, by the way, are also in the Preamble to India’s Constitution! (2/8)
Every #BastilleDay, Paris’ famous avenue des Champs-Elysées hosts a military parade - not very different from the #RepublicDay parade on Kartavya Path!

#DYK that France has been the Republic Day guest of honour 5 times since 1951? (3/8) ImageImage

#PeristiwaHariIni : Hari ini 233 tahun yang lalu, Bastille digempur para revolusioner Perancis.

Ini satu untaian.
Dibina pada 1300-an ketika Perang 100 Tahun, Bastille adalah sebuah kubu penjara diraja di Paris menempatkan tahanan politik yang dihumban tanpa bicara oleh raja. Ia menjadi simbol kezaliman monarki Bourbon yang dibenci rakyat marhaen yang tertindas.

#PeristiwaHariIni
Kerajaan Perancis ketika itu semakin dibebani hutang & di ambang keruntuhan ekonomi, namun Raja Louis XVI & isterinya Marie Antoinette terus hidup bermewah. Tananam pula tak menjadi, membawa kepada kebuluran & pengangguran kian meruncing di seluruh negara.

While most are familiar with the French influence of colorful Zouave uniforms, fewer are aware that the entirety of the standard U.S. Army uniform of the Civil War era was intentionally nearly a direct copy of Napoleon III’s Chasseurs á Pied. A kepi was later added — also French. ImageImage
*should be “Chasseurs à pied.”

Today, France celebrates #BastilleDay The Storming of the Bastille occurred in Paris, France, on the afternoon of 14 July 1789. The medieval fortress, armory, and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris.

#14Juillet
The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming, but was seen by the revolutionaries as a symbol of the monarchy's abuses of power; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution.
During the reign of Louis XVI, France faced a major economic crisis, caused in part by the cost of intervening in the American Revolution, and exacerbated by a regressive system of taxation.

1. Since hundreds were killed by the #Paris #terrorist attackers at #CharlieHebdo in Jan/2015: at the #Bataclan #concerthall and the #StadedeFrance in #Paris# in Nov/2015 and on la #PromenadedesAnglais in Nice on #BastilleDay 2016, #French #police have been on #alert 24/7.
2. Each #police #investigation leads to more and more potential #suspects and those with links to #suspects being placed on #terroristwatchlists. In addition, #France has a high number of returning #radicalized fighters returning from #Iraq and #Syria and presenting real risks.
3. Consequently, #France's #terroristwatchlist reportedly grown to15,000+ names. We can't expect #French police and #anti-terrorist teams to monitor thousands of people 24/7. The best we can hope for is #citizen and #police #bravery combined as well as some luck.
