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

    What do we usually do on Independence Day and Republic Day? Most of us sit at home and enjoy our holiday. Just because we are not in school anymore and no one expects us to be present for the flag hoisting, we don’t bother to attend it. It shows that we take the independence of our nation for granted. Our patriotism is only limited to joining ‘I love my Pakistan’ community…

    India is the biggest democracy in the world, with a population of over one billion. India, a union of states, is a sovereign socialist, secular, democratic, republic, with a parliamentary system of government. The republic is governed in terms of the Constitution, which was adopted on 26 November, 1949 and came into force on 26 January, 1950. During the past fifty-three years there have been regular elections to the Parliament and state legislatures. This reflects the maturity and wisdom of the Indian electorate, in whom the ultimate power and sovereignty rests. With the passage of time, Indian voters have become more assertive and active as regards their participation in the process of democracy. The turnout of Indian voters has significantly increased during the past elections. It was about 52% only during the Lok Sabha elections of 1952 which increased to 64% during the ninth Lok Sabha elections held in 1989. Similarly during the last elections for Parliament, the voter’s turnout has been quite encouraging. This phenomenon…

    This year would be the 55th year that Malaysia celebrates her independence from British rule. However, times have changed Malaysia into a newer, more politically aware and conscious young nation. It can certainly be argued that the patriotic spirit has dwindled especially in the late 90’s and early 2000’s, partly due to increased dissatisfaction and racial discrimination felt by a growing number of young Malaysian Chinese and Indians. Unity among races and a greater patriotic spirit among Malaysians are certainly stronger now than two decades or three decades ago. Nevertheless, Malaysian citizens would be quick to proclaim their love for their country, despite their misgivings for the country’s current administration.…

    Our ancestors have given us this freedom from the clutches of the British, or else we would still be under a British rule! We always need to give credit to our freedom fighters, namely all the people of India in the independence period. The power of democracy was felt for the first time during partition, when there were riots, fights and no signs of peace. This is when our leaders decided to draft a democratic constitution and give equal rights to everyone. Today, we rarely find clashes, fights, instead embrace the idea of democracy. We also must not forget the strong religious principles that we have imbibed into ourselves that is helping us retain the humanity, which we need to survive.…
