Republic Day - Rishona Chopra

The very thing that decided the law and order of our country was brought into effect on January 26, 1950. The Constitution Of India, comprising 470 articles, grouped into 25 parts, with 12 schedules and  5 appendices. It has been amended 25 times! For us, it is a day full of hope that our next generation will be able to make this country improve and be better. For me, as a student, this day inspires me to make my country proud. Whether it is as a doctor, teacher, engineer, social worker, donator, prime minister or even the president. In every way I want to make my country a better and joyful place. I believe that many people aim very high but if we look around us, the ground is not clear. The actual grim reality lies around us which more of us don’t look at. And even without being associated with the government we can do our bit to make the change. My grandparents live in a colony and while I had gone to visit them I saw the children of the construction workers play nearby. So, I went down and I became their friend. Everyday, they used to come near our gate and I used to offer them a pack of chocolate biscuits. I don't know if they remember me but those memories make me so happy! Therefore, all of us can play our part in helping our country be a better place.

I would conclude this piece of writing by spreading the message to all my dear friends “ Every Indian should now forget that he is a Rajput, a Sikh or a Jat. He must remember that he is an Indian.”- Sardar Vallabhai Patel
