What were some of the 'firsts' at Republic Day parade today?

The 75th Republic Day parade at Kartavya Path witnessed over 100 women artists playing Indian musical instruments instead of military bands. The first-ever all-women tri-service contingent marched down the Kartavya Path. Major Jerry Blaize and Captain Supreetha CT became the first couple to march together at a Republic Day parade, and 1,900 sarees from every part of India were displayed.
