Best Wishes and Greetings to all on the 65th Anniversary of  Republic Day!

Indian people, after sustained struggle for about one hundred years, won freedom on 15th August 1947 and was declared as Sovereign Secular Democratic Republic on 26th January 1950. The freedom could be won only with the dedicated and determined struggles and sacrifices of crores of people and martyrdom of thousands of freedom fighters.

65 years are over after India became a Sovereign Republic. It was the hope of the people that the condition of the people will improve in all respects. But despite the fact that more than 6 decades are over, crores of people continues to be so poor that they can not have even one full meal in a day. More than 30% of the people can not read and write, and do not have any home. The toiling masses are denied justice.

Of course, a small per cent of the top people have improved and have become millionaires and billionaires.  They have got everything. The middle class has also somehow managed. But the vast majority of the people are denied of the benefit of this growth of the country. Brutal exploitation takes place, and the toiling masses are the worst hit.

For what the freedom fighters and the martyrs fought and sacrificed their lives are yet to be achieved. Not only the political freedom but the economical freedom and the right to have a happy life.

The fundamentalist elements are trying to divide the society in the name of religion, caste, region etc. The danger of terrorism continues. The threat to the nation exists. Workers are denied their rights. In short, the nation is in turmoil.

The people have to rise and continue the struggle for equality, justice and security for all which is envisaged in the Constitution of India. Let us be part of this great movement for a Secular, Democratic, Sovereign and Socialist Republic!

Best Wishes  to you all on the Republic Day!
