Since 26th January 1950


Happy Republic day !!!
First time I got to learn about  the word ‘republic’ in my  social-studies  book in school. All we students  knew about this ‘republic day’ that on this day we don’t have to go to school for regular classes nor have to carry our school bags  rather have to wear ujjala   white uniform and parade on the field , see the chief guest hosting the flags following with national anthem and at the end we are allowed to go back with chocolates and sweets to home  ,where parents would be watching the live telecast the patriotic activities taking place Delhi ; speech of political figures, Grand parade , stunts like 12 men on one bullet  with national flags with a salute etc etc..

After one gets older and matured he/she start to take History of India an interesting and vital  thing to know and  forgets that  in his/her early teenage  the same subject was named by him/her as ‘boring subject’ during the classes . In school, taking out the moral of the subject  i.e  history , India is the country which was ruled by many alien Empires among which Britishers were  like decepticons and loki  where as Indian freedom fighters were like Iron man and Avengers.. Anyhow  later on India got Independence in  pen and paper, congrats to us.   

Initially It was very confusing what  is being republic!..With approaching age and accumulation of datas , it was known to  that on 28th Aug 1947, the drafting committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution laying down fundamental political principles, rules and duties of citizens and government institutions  making  India  like sovereign country  with the help of Dr. B.R Ambedkar(chairman), which was finally signed and passed on 24th Jan 1950 then two days later, it came into effect and known to all on 26th Jan 1950..As the constitutions is framed for each and  every citizen , hopefully it is followed by  all and respected by all to respect  republic day.

Yes,how can I forget that India ‘form of government’ states that it is a democratic country!! Where all citizens have an equal rights and can take decisions that affect their lives and enjoy fundamental right (that’s a diff issue that in certain modulation are been done time to time if a mere citizen point fingers or comments on a huge heavy  powerful figure ;) )..

Democracy also says that each citizen have freedom to certain general accepted activities such as any gender can walk alone along the road without having fear  of eve teasing or getting assaulted, old rich couples can stay alone  happily enjoying their hard earned money without fear of getting robbed and killed.. Even the society wants to be free of mental pollution which is more dangerous than environmental pollution … Its very simple to relax which have miraculous power for being in peace state of mind but how can one relax when he/she have lot of ‘fear’ in surrounding and insecurities !!

Atleast hopefully one who have bit of +ve conscience will not be harmful for society rather will check it . Guess we have!!!

JHAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!! J
