Most of you might be aware that the country is celebrating Gantantra Diwas today, a day in which India became a republic.

It may not be popularly known that this day marks the anniversary of two significant events: firstly, it was on 26th January 1950 that Rajendra Prasad was elected as India’s first president by an electoral college consisting of members of Parliament and state assemblies; secondly, it was on this day in 1949 that the Constitution of India came into force after being adopted by the Constituent Assembly.

Both these events were held at Vigyan Bhavan here in New Delhi where all members of Parliament and State Legislatures gathered for their respective elections. The ceremonies were presided over by Dr Rajendra Prasad who later went on to become India’s first President under our new Constitution (itself drafted with great difficulty). On this occasion he said: “I pray to God that this Constitution may prove to be a blessing not only for us but also for generations yet unborn”.

As India celebrates

As India celebrates the festival of colours, it’s time to pay homage to the national flag. The tricolour is a symbol of pride and patriotism, one that we hold dear not just during Independence Day celebrations but all year round.

The day of independence was marked on August 15, 1947 by Mahatma Gandhi. It was on this day that India achieved freedom from British rule after nearly two centuries as an imperial enterprise. On this occasion, our countrymen waved their flags in celebration and saluted their freedom fighters who fought for India’s independence from foreign occupation.

A national holiday across India has been declared for three days from August 15th until 17th to mark the 69th anniversary of Indian Independence Day (1945). During these times we are encouraged to wear or display our nation’s colors (saffron/white/green) with pride!

“The demand for the national flag has gone up manifold since the birthdays of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr BR Ambedkar were declared as national holidays by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We have been selling national flags since morning and we still have stock with us. Normally, people buy one or two flags but we are selling them in bulk now,” said a shopkeeper at Sree Venkateswara Emporium in Mysuru Road here.

Even though these symbols of patriotism are not expensive — Rs 10 to Rs 20 per flag depending on its size — people are buying it to express their solidarity towards the country despite being busy with other activities related to Har Ghar Tiraanag celebrations such as cleaning homes and making rangolis on this festive season.
