Readers Comment on Republic Day

Indians across the globe celebrate the Republic Day with patriotic fervor, unfurling the tricolor and holding cultural events to mark the occasion.
I am obliged and honored to write for Republic Day on January 26^th. Republic Day has a special significance in the history of India. We all know that India gained its independence on August 15^th, 1947. However, the nation didn’t have any constitution of its own. After numerous discussions and considerations, a committee submitted a draft of the Indian constitution, which was adopted on November 26^th,1949, and became officialon January 26^th, 1950.

But beyond it all, the constitution declares that India is a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. The privilege of electing a leader for this country assures its peoples justice, equality, and liberty. Additionally, this gives us our rights and duties as people of India. No matter who we are, rich or poor, politician or citizen,or a person of Indian origin, we continue to respect these basic principles and values given to us by our amazing constitution, so that when we move forward and continue to build this nation, we do not leave behind the foundation on which our country was built.Although there has been a lot of improvement with our country, there are still multiple challenges remaining such as corruption, discrimination pollution, and poverty. However, we hope that our leaders have enough skills to resolve these challenges.I now end my columnby paying my respects and tributes to those great revolutionaries. Jai Hind.
