Republic Day

Happy Republic Day!!!
Friends, i've just entered the world of blogs today. Republic Day reminds us of the sacredness of the Indian Constitution--that bulky document which promises a life filled with dignity, equality and freedom for every Indian, young and old. 'Purna Swaraj'---Complete Independence, was the resolution adopted by the Indian National Congress at its Lahore session on 26th January 1930, thus teaches our history. It's time for us to introspect if everyone in this great nation is getting to live a life of dignity, equality and freedom. On the one hand we celebrated National Voters Day on 25th January, highlighting the importance of the power to vote and continue to exercise this power whenever we are asked to and on the other hand we heard about the brutal murder of the Additional District Collector of Malegaon, Maharashtra, for doing his duty of safeguarding the ideals of our constitution. How ironic!!
I read in the Sunday Herald (the Sunday supplement of Deccan Herald, a daily in Bangalore) this week, that we are the third generation of Indians in Independent India. The first generation struggled for freedom, the second struggled to implement the values of freedom and we the third generation (3G Indians literally, no pun) should continue from here and move ahead....Only then can we be a free republic in the true sense of the term...JAI HIND
