Today is 26 january 2015 which is an important day in the history of India. Today we are celebrating the 66th year of India becoming a republic. It is a historical day indeed, because it was on this day that people of India began to be governed by a constitution. This constitution, for the first time in the history of India, declared that all Indians, irrespective of their caste, creed and other factors were equal and that the country was going to be governed by People’s representatives elected through elections.
Sixtysix year hence, that tiny sapling has taken firm roots and Indian Republic had become firmly entrenched. It is a miracle of modern times and something that we can be quite proud of.
The country has made progress though not quite to our satisfaction. Our elected representatives have often let us down.
For all that, thigs are looking up for India and we are cautiously optimistic about the future of India as a nation. The fact that we have a democracy and we have a constitution to govern us is something that calls for a year round celebration and in fact we do it daily , albeit without fanfare.
It is during 26 january that we celebrate the occasion with fanfare. And the main celebration takes place in New Delhi. By now the modus operandi of celebration of the republic day (and also Independence day) have become settled. The republic day sees a parade on New Delhi’s Rajpath whereas Independence day sees an address to the nation by the Prime Misnister for Lal Qila, Old Delhi.
The republic day celebration also has set a tradition whereby a foreign head of state/ Government is invited as the Chief Guest for the celebration. This year’s republic day celebration sees the President of USA as the chief guest on the occasion. These are early days yet, but this occasion could well turn out to be a landmark occasion in the History of the Indian republic. Let us cross out fingers and wait and watch.
This 66th republic day (26 january 2015) is the seventh republic day for the blog. We have seen an equal number of Independence days as well. We use such occasion to discuss patriotic songs in the blog.
Here is a song from “Maasoom”(1960) on the occasion. This sonng is sung by Asha Bhonsle and chorus. The song is picturised as a song where a school teacher is exhorting young school kids to become “desh ka pyaara sab ka sahaara” once they grow up and tiny tots respond enthusiastically.
This song is 55 years old now. The tiny tots seen in the picturisation must be senior citizens by now or they may be on their ways to become one. :) How time has flown.
Here is this nice song with a patriotic message. Raja Mehdi Ali Khan is the lyricist. Music is composed by Robin Bannerji.
I take this occasion to wish everyone a happy Republic day.
