RESPONSIBILITIES OF A CITIZEN IN KEEPING INDIA A REPUBLIC COUNTRY – by Likith Naga Sai Kollu

  • We all over India celebrate 26th January as Republic Day
  • It is on the occasion that the Indian constitution came into force on 26th January 1950

Before getting into the main topic let me explain why we celebrate Republic Day on 26th January and Independence Day on 15th August. The main question we can ask is why do we celebrate it? Independence Day is celebrated because India got independence from British rule on that day in 1947. Before that India was under British rule for nearly 200 years. After independence, we Indians prepared our own Constitution that came into force on 26th January 1950. The Constitution of India declared India as a Republic Country.

 

The Constitution of India was prepared by Constituent Assembly. The main objective of the Constituent Assembly was to draft a framework of political principles, powers, and duties of the government institutions and also lay down fundamental rights and duties of the citizen of India. In 1946, elections were held to elect the members of the Constituent Assembly. Dr. B.R. AMBEDKAR was elected as the CHAIRMAN of the DRAFTING COMMITTEE.

With this let me talk about the main topic of our responsibilities being Indian citizens in keeping India as a Republic country.

 

  • Being Indian citizens we must respect our national anthem and our national flag.
  • Everyone should learn the national anthem and know about the Constitution
