Republic day and it's significance

Remember how we celebrated Republic day at our schools, it was so engrossing. Firstly, the National flag was hoisted followed by a couple of dance and singing competitions which majorly were patriotic songs that brought goosebumps to us, and it ended with the national anthem and of course the ladoos while leaving.  But what was missing at that time as a child was the importance of this day and answer to the question ‘why we are celebrating this day?  ‘. So, here  I would like to mention the significance of this day to the readers in a short read . 
. This year the country is going to celebrate its 73rd Republic day. On this day the President of India hoists the national flag while the army, navy, and air force exhibit their military equipment on Rajpath. And the parade is one of the most spectacular parades in the world and its grandeur is a beggar’s description. The national flag is hosted all over the country and the whole environment is filled with pride, unity, and oneness irrespective of caste, color, or religion.   
Although India gained independence in 1947 it was actually in the year 1950 that the Constitution of India came into effect. It was on January 26, 1950, that the world’s largest constitution was enforced. The constituent assembly was formed to draft the Constitution of India. Dr. B. R.  Amedkar was named the chairman of the drafting committee. It took 2 years, 4 months, and  17 days to prepare the Constitution draft.  The constitution of India, which made India a sovereign,  democratic, republic was adopted on November 26, 1949, and it came into effect on January 26, 1950. India since then became a Republican state – for the people, by the people. Republic day is also celebrated in the remembrance of Purna Swaraj Diwas. Movement for self-rule independent of the British colonial rule. 
 We should acknowledge all the warriors who struggled and even sacrificed their lives so that we could breathe in an independent country. So let’s take a pledge that we all will maintain peace and harmony and must remember the sacrifice of our freedom fighters so that we can value the freedom which we got just because of their sacrifices.  
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat    
Thank you.
