India became a republic country on 26 January 1950. Republic Day marks the celebration of the empowerment of Indian citizens to select their own government. It is a national holiday which commemorates the process of establishment of the Indian Constitution. Constitution of India came into effect, replacing the Government of India Act of 1935. This year, India will be celebrating its 73rd Republic day.
India is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, spanning a period of more than 4000 years, and witnessing the fusion of several customs and traditions, which are reflective of the rich culture and heritage of the Country. India also sees a large number of festivals, mainly because of the prevalence of diverse religions and groups. The Muslims celebrate Eid, the Christians have Christmas, the Sikhs have Baisakhi, and the Hindus have Diwali, Holi, and Makar Sankranti. Let’s talk about Indian languages, there are 22 scheduled languages recognized by the constitution of India. India is home to a total of 121 languages and 270 mother tongues.
India is a country in which people of several religions live together. Unity in India is unbreakable the diversity of India is tremendous, it is obvious, it lies on the surface and everybody can see it.
Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!!!
