Speech on Republic Day (26th January)
Shayri: “”If you wish to swim, swim in the ocean; what lies in streams and brooks?
Celebrate Republic Day with your heart; what’s the point in mere display?”

Meaning and Importance of Republic
Friends, it is important to understand the meaning of a republic. A republic means “government of the people.” It is a system where the government is elected by the people and works for the people. Abraham Lincoln defined democracy in simple terms as – “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people.”
We take immense pride in the fact that India is the world’s largest democracy. It reflects the strength and diversity of our country. Our Constitution plays a crucial role in strengthening this democracy. The Indian Constitution, the largest written constitution in the world, not only grants us rights but also reminds us of our duties. It is this Constitution that binds our country together.

Formation of the Constitution and Contribution of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar
On January 26, 1950, our Constitution came into effect. This day is the result of the relentless efforts of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and his team. They gifted us a Constitution that guarantees equality, freedom, and justice to all its citizens. This Constitution laid the foundation for a progressive and inclusive nation.
Our Constitution also fosters a culture of respecting diversity. India is home to various religions, castes, languages, and cultures, yet our Constitution unites us as one. It is a matter of pride that we are citizens of a country where democracy and the Constitution are our greatest strengths.
Significance of Republic Day
The 26th of January is not just a date but a celebration that reminds us of our democratic values and the sacrifices made to uphold them. It is a day to pay homage to those brave freedom fighters and soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our independence.
