26th January 1950

One Billion People: One Vision

Acceptance of responsibility and making of promises as well as recapitulation of the achievements.

On Republic Day regional identity gives way to national identity. Neither caste, creed nor religion matter. What is predominant is the Indianness of the people.

India became a Sovereign Democratic Republic with a constitution to guide her destiny. It reminds us of the fulfillment of the pledge that was made on the midnight of Independence as a “tryst with destiny”.

Republic Day is gradually acquiring the celebrational status as that of the 4th of July in USA. The celebrations are universal, total and participatory, children take part in a big way. Variations in culture are displayed through colourful attires and folk dances. The traditional predominates along with a touch of modernity reflected in the display of might (latest defence gadgetry and acquisitions), technology and capabilities of growth in various sectors. The parade symbolizes the might; the tableaux are predominated by cultural motifs. The touch of the local highlights the identity of the area. The celebration is thus a homage to the past, the region and the nation that is a true republic and imposes nothing
