Essay - REPUBLIC DAY

REPUBLIC DAY

India won its independence from the British rule on August 15, 1947 and became an independent country. The Indian Constitution, however, came into effect only on January 26, 1950 and since then this day has been celebrated as Republic Day all over the country every year.

The Republic Day celebrations are held on a grand scale in New Delhi, India’s capital city. Crowds in great numbers attend the flag hoisting ceremony led by the President of India. This is followed by an impressive march past by the armed forces.

Following the march past, there is a procession of floats carrying singing and dancing troupes from different states. Many floats show different aspects and stages of social, cultural and industrial progress achieved in the states, cities and towns of India. Similar Republic Day celebrations are held in capital cities of states with great colour and joy.

In our school we celebrate Republic Day with traditional ceremonies, including unfurling of the Indian tricolour, dance performances of various states by the students, a motivational message by the Principal, decorating our classrooms with national colours and the students are encouraged to wear traditional clothes to give a communal flavour to the whole atmosphere.

The Republic Day is the day we vowed to preserve and safeguard the freedom and integrity of our country at all costs. We took an oath to strive for the welfare, peace and prosperity of our beloved motherland.
