REPUBLIC DAY SPEECH

Good Morning dear friends. Today we are all assembled to celebrate our 64th  Republic Day. A day when we remember all our great leaders who have fought for independence of our country. For our independence.  It’s because of them we are able to enjoy a free life today ruled by no one.

Leaders have proved that we can win war without using guns and machines. By maintaining values, practicing ethics India has won a war over British. India before Independence, celebrated 26th January as Republic day. But we got our independence on 15^th August 1947. What happens to 26^th Jan ?  So on 26^th January 1950, constitution of India was formed and thereafter we have celebrated this day every year as Republic day.

Life for us has not been easy. We were very poor at the time of Independence. We have come a long way since then. We are now acquiring  international companies, Our GDP growth is one of the best in the world at a time when the entire world was in recession, we have the best technicians in the field of IT, medicines, accounting and so on. It is the beginning of new era. An Era of Indias growth. A country which the entire world is looking up to. This is the best time for India.

But then how does our country grow from here. Yes, its us, you my friends are going to play a crucial role in the progress of the our country. You are the backbone of our countrys future.

We must be a part of Indias growth story and not of any other country. We must maintain our integrity, values and ethics at all times as people rely and trust us more than anybody else. Padmasri TN Manoharan, Past President of ICAI is a great example on how his team revived satyam. He is a role model for all of us.

We must change to see our country change.- A change in the right direction.

Our country is a symbol of great diversity in every form. I wish the feeling of oneness remains in the heart of every Indian in our movement to glorious future.

May god bless you all

Jai Hind
