Happy Republic Day! Today, January 26 marks the 77th celebration of India adopting its Constitution in 1950, transforming from dominion to sovereign republic under Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s visionary framework of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.

Historic Roots of Joy

On January 26, 1930, the Indian National Congress declared Purna Swaraj, choosing this date to honor that pledge two decades later. The grand Constituent Assembly gifted us the world’s longest written Constitution, weaving diversity into unity—from Kashmir’s snows to Kerala’s coasts, ensuring every citizen’s dignity.

This day pulses with positivity: Families unfurl tricolors at dawn, school kids march with zeal, and villages erupt in cultural revelry.
