Republic Day : Do We Acknowledge Its Importance To Level It Deserves?

India became independent from Britishers in 1947. So what did brits leave behind?. They left behind Pakistan and 500 plus kingdoms which sardar patel united into country which we know India today. Before Britishers took over India , current India as country existed during mughal regime and during Chandragupta regime. So we had India thrice in history and for most parts of history India was divided into many small kingdoms.

Even during mahabharata times , we had many kings and kingdoms in country which was then called Bharat . So when India got independent from Britishers , it took some one like sardar patel to unite India and vision of panel headed by baba saheb ambedkar to make our consitution which defines what India today is.

Consitution is not piece of paper or exist for sake of it . It is vision of our founding fathers about what kind of country they dreamt of . Hugely diversed country like India needed constitution to have any chance of becoming what it has become.

I have found many opinions of constitution , while some are sensible , some are bizzare. Many are angry and slam consitution for special status given to jammu and kashmir . Many protest on inclusion of word secular by Indira in constitution of India .

When nation as diversed as India becomes free from foreign rule , we need a strong constitution which guarantees co existence of all and right to life of dignity. According to me consitution of India is one of best creation of human mind ever. I salute the panel which came up with constitution. India is not just a land ,it is one of most complex country in the world. The home to all beliefs , India has many caste , different languages , different ethnic identity.

It is duty of any nation to make sure that all of its citizen’s right are protected and constitution safe guards that right. Starting from freedom of speech to live life of dignity constitution provides all those rights.

As we celebrate 26/1 , let us salute the makers of constitution because of which India is what it is .
