REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATION

REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATION - 41

    Today, as we celebrate the republic day, the day where the constitution came into force on 56 years ago. A day where every Indian can be proud of their Nation because it assures rights and securities to all its citizens for a dignified living. The constitution is the conscience of the nation and the corner stone of the legal and judicial system. The goal of the constitution is to bring new life and hope to millions of its citizens, to give every Indian the fullest opportunities to develop according to his or her potentialities. The validity of the constitution is diminishing day by day due to corrupt parties in administration and ignorance and indifference of the citizens. The nation will come back to health and grow strong when the citizens realize the entire destiny of the country is in their own hands and there is no substitute for knowledge and integrity in public life. 

      In this era of violence and corruption, India, the country, which is known for its spirituality, can show the path of lasting harmony and peace. She can do this if only she is ready to awake to her potential implanted in her by her spiritual genius. This is the mission entrusted to the responsible citizens and it demands courage, conviction, creativity and commitment.

  India is a pluralistic religious country. Religion has a very strong hold on the Indian society.  Indian art and architectures, music and dance, festivals and ceremonies, have religion as their basis. Moreover, religions have a duty of safe guarding the divinity of our country.

  As 9 representatives of 9 religion of India light the lamp, let us become aware of our responsibility in building our nation where peace, justice, freedom and equality reins. Let us affirm the strength and courage to personalize the vision of our great Patriots to strive for better India. May this Eucharistic celebration enable us to arise with fire and force, with vision and hope to launch into the deep to rediscover to renew and to uphold a democratic, social, secular and sovereign India?
