Republic Day Bhashan English
Republic Day Bhashan English: Good morning to everyone gathered here today. Respected teachers, honorable chief guests, and my dear friends, I stand before you with immense pride and joy to speak about a day that holds great significance for every Indian heart—Republic Day.
On this very day, January 26, 1950, India took a monumental step in its journey towards becoming a sovereign, democratic, and republic nation. This date was chosen to honor the memory of January 26, 1930, when the Indian National Congress declared Purna Swaraj, or complete independence, from British rule. It was a powerful moment, a declaration that echoed the hopes and dreams of countless freedom fighters who gave their everything for our country’s liberation.
When we talk about Republic Day, we talk about the birth of the Indian Constitution—the longest written constitution in the world. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of our Constitution, along with his dedicated team, ensured that the values of justice, equality, liberty, and fraternity became the guiding principles of our nation. On this day, the Constitution came into force, replacing the Government of India Act of 1935, and gave us the power to govern ourselves, by ourselves.
Republic Day is not just a celebration of an event from the past. It is a reminder of the responsibilities that come with being a citizen of this great nation. As students, it is important for us to understand the sacrifices made by those who came before us. People like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhas Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, and countless others didn’t fight for just a piece of land—they fought for an idea. An idea that every individual, irrespective of their caste, religion, gender, or background, should have the right to live with dignity and freedom.
The grand Republic Day Parade in New Delhi is a sight that fills every Indian with pride. Soldiers marching in perfect sync, colorful tableaux representing the rich diversity of our states, and the breathtaking airshow remind us of the unity in our diversity. Each state showcases its unique culture, and together, they form the soul of India—diverse yet united.
But friends, celebrating Republic Day is not just about waving flags or watching parades. It is about introspection. Are we upholding the values of our Constitution? Are we contributing to our nation’s growth in whatever way we can? India, our beloved motherland, is counting on each of us. We might be young, but we are the future of this nation. Our actions today will shape the India of tomorrow.
Let us promise to work hard, stay united, and be proud of our roots. Let us respect our Constitution and always strive to uphold the dignity of our country. Let us be responsible citizens who contribute to making India stronger and better.
On this Republic Day, as we salute the tricolor, let us remember the sacrifices of the past and take a pledge to build a brighter future. Jai Hind! Thank you.
