India is celebrating its 77th Republic Day on Monday, January 26 this year. Republic Day marks a defining milestone in the country's national journey. It marks the day the Constitution of India came into force on January 26, 1950, formally establishing the country as a 'Sovereign Democratic Republic'. While independence on August 15, 1947 ended colonial rule, it was the adoption of the Constitution that completed India's transition to self-governance based on law, institutional accountability, and the will of the people of India.
On Republic Day, flag hoisting ceremonies and parades by armed forces and school children are held in different parts of the country. The grandest and most important of these parades is held at Kartavya Path in New Delhi, which showcases a multi-hued image of the country's rich cultural heritage and military prowess.
The 77th Republic Day celebrations are organised around the central theme "150 Years of Vande Mataram". The theme runs across the Republic Day Parade, cultural performances, tableaux, public competitions, and outreach programmes, placing the national song at the heart of this year's observance while linking freedom, cultural expression, and contemporary national aspirations.
On the occasion of the 77th Republic Day, here are some wishes, messages, Facebook and WhatsApp statuses to share with your friends and family:
