India is a diverse nation with many auspicious occasions but is united by its commonness and democracy. The country is celebrating its 71st Republic Day on Tuesday.
As for what defines Republic day, Wikipedia defines it as 'a national holiday in India. It honours the date on which India's Constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950 replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India and thus, turning the nation into a newly formed republic'.
Being a holiday, people celebrate this patriotic occasion by wishing each other to stay united. Various personalities, including sportspersons, have wished the nation on this patriotic occasion, as we take a look at the cricketers who have done the same.
The future depends on what we do today. Let's be the strength of our nation and help it reach greater heights. Wishing everyone a Happy Republic Day. Jai Hind 🇮🇳.
