Purpose of Celebrating Republic Day

The main purpose of celebrating Republic Day is that on 26 January 1950, the constitution made after taking 2 years 11 months and 18 days was implemented and our country India was declared as a full republic.

The independence of our country was not due to any one person, the independence of our country is the result of the sacrifice of many great men like Bhagat Singh, Mahatma Gandhi etc. The patriots could not see their country bound by the chains of slavery, they sacrificed their lives to liberate their country, due to their sacrifices the British had to kneel and they freed India.

On the day of Republic Day, we remember and take inspiration from the sacrifices of these great men that like these great men, we will also sacrifice our lives for our country, we will be ready at all times to protect its honor and glory and never again. We will not allow the country to be bound in the chains of slavery, we all should take inspiration from these patriots and be ready for the protection of the country. One of the purposes of celebrating Republic Day is that we remember the sacrifices of great men and take inspiration from them.

Every Indian should take inspiration from the martyrs of India and keep trying to take their country to the heights and it is the duty of every Indian to contribute their fullest for the development of the country and to protect the country at all times. Stay standing.
