National festival rests on the Government only.   The common perception is that these are simply holidays.

Whereas our other festivals are confined to certain section of a society belonging to different Religions, Castes, Languages, Regions  etc., our National Festivals embrace all of us – as Indians.

We celebrate on many occasions throughout the year in our personal and social life like Birthdays, Marriage anniversaries, New Year day, Valentine day, Friends day, etc. Do we display the same commitment towards celebration of Independence day and Republic day.

On the occasion of the coming Republic day let’s not restrict National Festivals to the Government organized programmes only and make a resolution to bring these festivals in our homes and hearts and celebrate them as our own festivals.  

On this day let’s decorate our homes with lamps, Flags, distribute sweets, organize cultural programmes at our work places and localities.   Let us pray for unity, prosperity & security of the Nation in Temples, Mosques, Churches and Gurudwaras, of our brave martyrs

and congratulate each other for being citizens of the largest Republic of the world.

Let’s take the pledge that on the 26^th January each house and religious place of the country will be decorated with lights like other festivals e.g. Deepawali, Id, Christmas, Guru purab etc. and demonstrate our unity in diversity.

This will be a true tribute to our martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the motherland keeping the Country First above everything else -Religion, Caste, Language & Regions etc.

Let us participate in this National celebrations to rekindle the fire of Nationalism. Hearty congratulations on Republic day.

JAI HIND !
