The dawn of Tuesday 26th January 2021, marked the auspicious occasion of our nation’s 72nd Republic Day.
It was on the historic day of 26th January 1950, when the Constitution of India came into effect and the people of India resolved to bring the nation to a SOVEREIGN, SOCIALIST, SECULAR and DEMOCRATIC standing, promising justice, liberty, equality and fraternity to all.
A great many struggles have since stormed our country’s progressive tread. We still continuously battle social, economic and political issues. The present farmers’ protest and uprising has dampened the enthusiasm of our Republic celebrations this year. And yet, standing in solidarity for justice to prevail for them, with hope we move forward.
The zeal of taking forward and bringing to fruition, Mahatma Gandhiji’s and Ambedkar’s dream of a Republic India is intensely on. And so, the country envisages this dream through you, dear students, that as each one of you blossoms as integrated personalities and sincere citizens, you will vastly contribute not only towards its further development, and work toward the upliftment of those in need, but also for its global relationships and world peace at large.
Now that we have unfurled the tricolour and paid respect to our country, let us re-ignite within ourselves, a spark of disciple, determination, courage and commitment in constituting our great country, solemnly resolving and striving to be a voice for fair play; a beacon of fraternity to uphold the dignity of all; a compass that directs to promote equal status and opportunity for all; a tool to shatter fetters that bondage our expression of thought, belief, faith and worship.
Let us remember and salute our exemplary leaders who have passionately steered our nation toward progress and development and earned laurels for our country. Taking a leaf from their page, let us walk the talk and like Mahatma Gandhiji said, let us be the change we want to see in the world.
Let us continue to tune in with patriotism.
Jai Hind
