Reasons to celebrate
republic day
1. Celebrate freedom from
British written laws: Republic
Day is the day when our
country officially adopted its
own constitution. We put forth
our own set of citizen-friendly
laws from Republic Day.
Republic Day signifies the
transition from a “dependant”
nation to an “independent” one
in terms of governmental laws,
acts and policies.
2. Honour the people who
made an independent India
possible: Countless lives were
sacrificed so that we can hold
our heads high in our own
motherland. Republic Day made
sure that the sacrificed lives were
not spent in vain. Hence, this day
should be celebrated by every
Indian citizen as a sign of respect
to the historic freedom fighters.
3. To show our patriotism
towards our country: Every citizen
of India is expected to be patriotic
and pay importance and respect
to its history. Being patriotic
is synonymous to celebrating
the important milestones of the
country and Republic day is one
such event.
day every year?
Apart from the gala capital
celebrations, similar
functions at smaller scales
also take place in all state
