Sixty eight years ago the Indian constitution came into force after a long struggle of freedom from the British rule. India did not have a fixed or permanent constitution till 1950 after India got its independence in 1947. Dr Rajendra Prasad took oath on this day as India’s first president of India. Since then, this day holds great significance to us. Republic day is marked by a speech made by the President of India and a grand parade is held at Rajpat in New Delhi. On this occasion, television celebrities plead to be more responsible towards our national duties:
Kamya Punjabi
It is difficult to conclude whether India has really achieved anything substantial since the first Republic Day. While there has been progress and development and people have more money to spend, there is an increase in corruption, discrimination or security for females. We need to be more responsible towards our nation.
Gaurav Chopra
Republic Day is a day to revisit our national duties. Every citizen of India is expected to be patriotic and pay importance and respect to its history. Being patriotic is synonymous with celebrating the important milestones of the country and Republic Day is one such event. We need to aim making India the most amazing and beautiful nation.
Arshi Khan
Democracy is a very important part of the Constitution of India. Today we have a strong democracy. India has a fair and independent judicial system. Republic Day celebrations are important to bring out the patriotic emotions in us.
Avika Gor
We must make efforts towards the nation for making it truly republic. We should think and relate to the freedom struggle that once happened and dream for establishing an equal, co-operative, free and happy society.
Mahika Sharma
Delhi which hosts the Republic Day with the grand parade has achieved the distinction of crime capital of India. There is more hi-fi corruption, rapes in the corridors of power here than anywhere else. I wish this Republic Day we make the country most amazing and beautiful place. No violence, No corruption, No rape. Let’s understand and value the struggle our leaders undertook for us and make the nation better for the future citizens.
Kunal Jaisingh
We celebrate Republic Day with great pomp, enthusiasm and glory. But somehow we miss to fulfill our responsibilities towards our nation. The day is also about checking on ourselves if we follow our national duties. If we are living for a great tomorrow. We need to think about making the nation peaceful and corruption free.
Suyyash Rai
Understanding the importance of our responsibilities towards the nation is a big deal today. We talk, protest and fight for the worthless topics. I wish that we should help ourselves by realizing our duties and truly honouring the people who made an independent India possible. It is a day to ascertain that the sacrificed lives were not spent in vain. Hence, this day should be celebrated by every Indian citizen as a sign of respect to the historic freedom fighters.
Tejasswi Prakash
Lets move ahead to prevent child labour and ensure development in the country. We need to make sure every child is getting proper education. Also lets empower women to empower the country this Republic day.
Tanya Sharma
Clean India, Developed India is the only motto of Republic India.
Amit Tandon
We are free from the British rulers who enslaved, robbed, and controlled us. However, even today we are still ruled by corruption, terrorism, racial and communal divide, crimes, rapes and injustice to women. We need to fight against it being one and standing as one. This Republic Day let’s all stand united and let India truly shine for all its greatness.
Roshni Sahota
On this Republic Day, let us remember the past and attempt to carve a better future for every one of us. It is an obligation of every one of us. Let us not forget the heroes who sacrificed their lives to bring up this glorious day to India.
