Republic Day
For a long period our Motherland India was under the British Government. During this period India was governed by the law made by the British People. On the 15theAugust 1947 India got her independence. The free people of India wished to make their own Constitution. The Constituent Assembly of India took two years eleven months and eighteen days to make a Constitution for India. The consideration of the Draft Constitution took 114 days. The Constituent Assembly finished it on the 26th November 1949. This new Constitution of India came into force on the 26th January 1950. According to it India became a Sovereign Democratic Republic. Since then the 26th January in every year is observed as our Republic day. Republic means a state having a Government of the people, by the people and for the people. People are the real function-head of all power. So, the Republic Da is so sacred for us.

We should every year observe our Republic Day with all sincerity on the 26th January. Because this observance will remind us of our sacred duty to guard our Constitution. There is a saying. "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty" If we do not be vigilant of our Constitution we will lose our true freedom. The autocrats will eat into its Vitality. Hence, we should observe our Republic Da every year.

The Republic Day is observed with much pomp and grandeur in India. It is quite fittingly observed in New Delhi and in the State capitals. On this day, we see the police parade and the march-past. People rally round the Indian National Flag. Flag-hoisting forms an important part of the ceremony. The National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana.." is sung everywhere.

This year, I observe the Republic Day with much emotion, along with my school mates. One day earlier, we decorated our school building, school gate and the school compound with coloured paper, green leaves, plantain trees, flowers and pictures. We hung the pictures of our fallen heroes at all places in the school. On the

    The Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came into effect on 26 January 1950.[2] The date 26 January was chosen to commemorate the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence of 1930. With its adoption, the Union of India officially became the modern and contemporary Republic of India and it replaced the Government of India Act 1935 as the country's fundamental governing document. To ensure constitutional autochthony, the constitutional framers inserted Article 395 in the constitution and by this Article the Indian Independence Act, 1947 was repealed.[3] The Constitution declares India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavors to promote fraternity among them.[4] The words "socialist" and "secular" were added to the definition in 1976 by constitutional amendment(mini constitution).[5] India celebrates the adoption of the constitution on 26 January each year as Republic Day.[6]…
