Good morning to the Excellencies, respected Principal sir, sir, madam, my seniors and my dear colleagues. My name is…… I study in class….. I would like to speech on this great annual occasion of Indian Republic Day. First of all, I would like to say a big thank to my class teacher for giving me such a great opportunity to speech here on the Republic day of India. My dear friends, we have gathered here to celebrate this special occasion of our nation. We celebrate republic day on 26 January annually to commemorate the day when Indian constitution came into force and India was declared as republic country.
I am very proud to be the citizen of India. At this day, we unfurl the National Flag of India and sing the National Anthem to show our heartily respect for our republic country. It is celebrated all over the country at schools, colleges, universities, educational institutions, banks and many more places. It was 26 January, 1950 when Indian National Constitution came into force. The period from 1947 to 1950 was transition period and King George VI became the head of state whereas Lord Mountbatten and C. Rajagopalachari became the Governors-General of India.
The Government of India Act (1935) was replaced as the governing document of India after the enforcement of Indian Constitution in 1950 on 26 January. The Constitution of India was adopted on 26th of November in 1949 by the by Indian Constituent Assembly however implemented later in 1950 with a democratic government system declaring the country as independent republic. 26 January was especially selected because on the same day in 1930 Indian National Congress had declared Indian Independence means Purna Swaraj. Rajendra Prasad became the first President of Republic India in 1950 after the adoption of Constitution.
A grand parade by the Indian army (from all three services) is organized in the national capital (New Delhi) as well as state capitals of the country. The parade of the national capital starts from the Raisina Hill (near to the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the residential place of Indian President) and ends to the past India Gate along with the Rajpath. Together with the Indian army, states of country also take part in the parade (decked with finery and official decorations) to show their culture and tradition. At this day, our country follows the tradition of “Atithi Devo Bhava” by inviting a chief guest (PM, President or King from another country) on 26 January. President of India, who is the Commander in Chief of Indian army, takes the salute by the Indian Armed Forces. The Prime Minister of India gives a floral tribute to the sacrificed Indian soldiers at the Amar Javan Jyoti, India Gate. The celebration of republic day continues by 29th of January which ends after the beating retreat ceremony. At this day, every Indian shows his/her respect and Pride to the National Constitution.
Jai Hind, Jai Bharat
