We today celebrate yet another REPUBLIC DAY. How ever, what should worry us is that the 60th Republic Day of the country would also pass of as just another National Holiday ! I somehow dnt understand what is so 'national' about the R-Day celebrations? As the country showcases its military might and vibrant cultural heritage..the question that remains to be answered is that do these celebrations still stir in us the same passion as it did during the days of the freedom struggle, do we still feel enthused or do we just spend another cosy day in the warmth of our rooms?
In the wake of booming economic growth and growing consumerist culture do we still take pride in our national flag which is sold a dozen a dime at traffic junctions all over the country....
Being from an army family, as a child i grew up seeing the Republic Day parade and even today when its been years since i witnessed the celebrations at Rajghat, i think the least we can do is spare some time to think about the contributions and sacrifices made by the great leaders of our country and how we as responsible citizens can contribute our bit in making India a truly Independent Nation ...!!!

Yes its true that today we the people of India celebrate our 60th Republic Day with respect to liberty,secularism,pluralism and social harmony in this largest democracy of the world.
The show of military power and cultural diversity is just to let the world know that how this 'Union of States' is bonded together despite all these differences. I think that you cannot make a difference in a single day you have to strive for perfection each and everyday and it takes years to make a nation perfect.India in that respect is quite a young nation,just 60 years old.The challenges before us is to see that the basic aspirations of our people for enhanced welfare and well being are forested and served.We want rapid industrialization,full employment,meaningful induction of science and technology to sub serve our social goals and a general raising of living standards.
All this can be done only by our own people by making full use of our resources and by doing our work honestly and with full dedication.So please whatever you do, do it sincerely and honestly,and if you see anyone not doing his or her work properly make him/her realize and if the person concerned is not responding positively,then humiliate the person in public it'll work.
You ask how you can make the difference PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO AGAIN
JAI HIND!!!!!!!
