My Speech @ Republic Day 2013.
Before starting my speech I would like to wish you all Happy Republic Day 2013. It has been my Privilege that I got an opportunity to speak in front of you all on this occasion. It has been 64 years from the day our constitution came into effect. In these 64 year our country has gone through a long journey of changes. I am going to through some light on the history of our country.
Before 1600 AD we were living a peaceful life, although there were some disputes between some states but it was not bothering normal citizens at all. But when in 1600, East India company came into India, things started changing. Slowly they started taking their grips to the steering of our country and till 1800 we were completely in control of British government.
In 1857 some real patriots stood up for the country and started a revolution against the British Raj. After a very long time and different-different revolution at several places finally we became free on 15 August, 1947. Then some rules and regulation were required to drive the country. So a committee was organized, which was given the work of writing the constitution for India.
After the constitution was ready it came into effect from 26 January 1950, since then every year we remind that auspicious day and celebrate it as our Republic day. This day is called because India became a republic country from this day.
When we became republic country, things started changing. The command of country was in the people of the country. Elections were started and people selected their representative. For sure we have done a lot of Improvements after becoming republic but many problems like corruption and unemployment has grown up rapidly. So we need to find the solution for these problems, only then our country can become the best place on earth to live.
Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.
