Republic Day wishes for all Indians
-
Happy Republic Day :-D Its kind of sad that it has got reduced to nothing more than a national holiday for many people.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures." जय हिंद

60th Republic Day[^] for India :cool: Saare jahaan se achcha, Hindustan hamara!
Cheers, Vıkram.
I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends. - Josh Gray.
Happy Republic day Vikram :) Bob should put on something Indian :D

Oh my giddy Aunt... History rewritten as we speak. You didn't throw us out, we handed it back. Point out the battles fought against us in your war of independance and I will eat my words. If, however, we decided that after the war we could no longer pay for and police the empire then you are right. And anyway, if UK is so bad how come so many indians want to live here?

Happy Republic Day to all Indians. This is the day when the constitution of India came into effect and India officially became a Republic. In Australia this day is celebrated as Australia day. This is the day when (in 1788) the First Fleet unfurled the British flag at Sydney.

India didn't exist when first we went to the subcontinant. It was an amalgam of nation states, it was the British that unified it. And gave it Railways. And a Civil Service. And Democracy. And The English Language.

The Australians do not celebrate Republic Day by calling it Australia Day. They have a completely different celebration that has nothing to do with India. The celebrate the Founding of Australia.

And slavery. And lots of taxes. And partition(result of divide and rule policy). I am not denying things you have mentioned, but there are always two sides of a coin.

You are not correct. We Indians adopted our constitution and became a republic on this day. Nothing in relation to the independence, we had already got independent 3 years before this day. Be Proud, but with facts... Anyhow... don't be upset HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY to all Indians Jai Hind

We didn't invent slavery, that was around in ancient Egypt. We did Abolish it though, it was us that did that, and went around the world abolishing it. We even fought a war in america to get it abolished, but hey, thanks for rewriting history to salve your Anti English Feelings.

We didn't invent Taxes, that was probably the Romans or Greeks, but hey, it was our taxes that helped to pay for the Indian Railway system, and all that Education, etc. Still, I am glad you live in a country where you are no longer taxed because you managed kick out the English you obviously hate.

Again, it was the Indians that wanted partition (See Here[^]) You all hated each other so much you had to be divided to stop a war. Funny because you are still fighting it. You hate the English and the Pakistani's. Is everything governed by hatred? Look, if you really love your country, learn it's history for yourself, not what someone with an agenda has told you. The British were not the worst part of your history, and in fact were a power for good in many ways. Stop hating things you can do nothing about, it is divisive. Be positive.

Hi friend, I am a proud Indian. However I believe facts are facts and I agree that had British-ers not accepted to leave, it was not would have taken some more time to get independence. UK is no doubt a great place, so is India - I am proud of everything and everyplace that is Human & Morally Nice. I just wish people gain wisdom and start respecting others and start living peacefully.

Although India was independent on 15th Aug 1947, it was led by King George VI till Republic day. That way Vikram is right.

Rubbish, the lands currently belonging to the Republic of India and its neighbouring countries have been called India for centuries. If, however, you meant India had not existed as a single entity within these borders, you would be right.

And it was the British that tore it into two.

These I appreciate, but there was a much darker side to British rule in India: any number of famines in response to which the British did nothing, Jallianwala Bagh, forced conversions, the Doctrine of Lapse, the Rowlatt Act, Partition, I could go on. Democracy? Bullsh*t. Britain may have practised democracy at home, but her rule in India was nowhere near that.
Cheers, Vıkram.
