26th January - Republic day. The day the constitution of this country came into force. The day we are to mark as a respect to the struggles of the freedom fighters, the struggle of establishing a sovereign, democratic republic which is to assure its citizens justice, freedom and liberty.
Pretty serious words and serious ideas. Stark contrast from reality of celebrating the Republic Day in one of the many areas of Lonavala, Mahableshwar, Goa or even Malaysia, Thailand, etc. Better yet - we have shopping bonanza's on Republic day. 'Sabse Sasta Din', '50% off - Republic Day Sale - Hurry". Republic Day has become just one of those holidays in this country - better if it falls close to the weekend.
