“Hai khada vo datkar,
Tufaan-e-sailaab ko chunauti deta,
Apni Safed paushaak pehne nausena ka sipahi,
Lad raha hai unchi lehro se,
Na hai use darr,
Na hai use sandeh,
Vo to apne desh ki rakhvali hai kar raha,
Hai liya jo vachan,
use vo nibha raha..”

Navy Day in India is celebrated on 4th December every year to recognize the achievements and the role of the Indian Navy to the country. This particular day was chosen to pay tribute to the incident in 1971, where during Operation Trident, the Indian Navy sank four Pakistani vessels including PNS Khaibar, killing hundreds of Pakistani Navy personnel. On this day, those killed in the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971 are also remembered.

The Indian Navy is the naval branch of the Indian Armed Forces and is led by the President of India as Commander-in-Chief. The Maratha Emperor, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is considered as the "Father of the Indian Navy". The Indian Navy has an important role in securing the marine borders of the country as well as enhancing the international relations of India through seaport visits, joint exercises, humanitarian calamity relief and so on. The strength of the Indian Navy includes over 67,000 personnel and about 150 ships and submarines.

During the days leading up to Navy Day, during Navy Week and the days prior to that, various events take place such as an open sea swimming competition, ships are open for visitors and school children, there is a veteran sailors lunch, performances by the Naval Symphonic Orchestra, an Indian Navy Inter School Quiz Competition, a Navy Half Marathon as well as an air display for school children and the beating retreat and tattoo ceremonies.

Navy Day in India originally coincided with the Royal Navy's Trafalgar Day. On 21 October 1944, the Royal Indian Navy celebrated Navy Day for the first time. The idea behind celebrating Navy Day was to boost outreach and increase awareness about the Navy amongst the general public. Navy Day celebrations traditionally witnessed parades at various port cities as well as organizing public meetings at inland Naval establishments. In due course and until 1972, given the enthusiasm among the public, Navy Day was celebrated on 15 December, and the week in which 15 December fell was observed as Navy Week. In 1972, old traditions gave way to new reasons to celebrate the day. At the Senior Naval Officer's Conference in May 1972, it was decided that Navy Day would be celebrated on 4 December to commemorate the above mentioned reason and Navy Week would be observed from 1 to 7 December.

Various events take place during Navy Week with the finale on Navy Day. On this day, the warships and aircraft of the Indian Navy are open to visitors such as school children. The Military Photo Exhibition is also performed by photojournalists of the Ernakulum in the Navy fest. Other events such as blood donation camps are also held. A community service for the Indian Navy is conducted by the Naval Institute of Aeronautical Technology (NIAT) at Good Hope Old Age Home, Fort Kochi in which the students from the Navy Children School Chair take turns to entertain the inmates and Naval doctors (from INHS Sanjivani) provides medical checkup to the inmates. The Navy Ball and Navy Queen contests including the Navy fest are held to celebrate Navy Day.

“Samudra ka ho tufan
Ya aaye dushman hazar
Na koi tik paaye
Jab samne se nauka aainik aayein
Lehro se bhi ye na ghabraye
Saamne seena tane apne Desh ka Tiranga jeet ke saath ye lehraye..”
