Every year on January 26th, Republic Day is observed to
commemorate the day when our constitution was ratified in 1950. After this day,
our nation attained true democracy and independence. Great heroes like Mahatma
Gandhi and the many other freedom fighters who fought and gave their lives for
our country's independence helped bring about the Constitution, which is the
fundamental law of the land.
As a result, it was made a national holiday, and ever since,
India has recognised and honoured it as Republic Day. Although it might seem
like a subject best left to inquisitive preschoolers, the reason why the date
for the Republic Day celebration was deliberately picked is frequently questioned.
It should be emphasised that January 26 was a pivotal day in India's fight for
autonomy or swaraj. On December 29, 1929, the Congress Session in Lahore
adopted a resolution stating that Purna Swaraj, or total and full autonomy, was
India's aim. Additionally, it was determined that Purna Swaraj Day shall be
celebrated on January 26th all across India. The first official Independence
Day was observed on January 26, 1930. It was observed all the way up to 1947.
August 15 has been observed as our Independence Day ever since we gained
independence.
People of all races, religions, colours, and origins come
together on this day to commemorate the event with tremendous zeal and
excitement. The Indian Military participates in the event and displays the
grandeur that is associated with it in a large parade that is held in Delhi,
the nation's capital. The parade, which begins after the president hoists the
national flag and citizens honour heroes who gave their lives while defending
the nation, puts on display the pride and vibrant variety of the nation.
The Prime Minister of India pays tribute to the martyrs by
decorating Amar Jawan Jyoti at India Gate with a ringlet. The national song is
sung, 21-gun salute fires and the flag is raised as part of the ritual. The
Paramvir Chakra, Ashok Chakra, and Vir Chakra are awarded to the valiant troops.
Awards are given to kids and individuals who have displayed bravery in
challenging situations. The day is honoured with tremendous fanfare around the
nation, particularly at educational institutions. Events are held at schools,
colleges, and polytechnics to commemorate the day and raise student awareness. Students
can engage in speeches, extempore, tests, and essay writing competitions.
Though Republic Day and Independence Day are very distinct from one another,
most people frequently mix the two together. Since they both concern the nation
and the ideals of sovereignty, independence, and self-government.
