How has the meaning of Republic Day changed for you over the years?

Republic Day has always held the same meaning and importance for me because I studied in Army school. We used to celebrate Republic Day and Independence Day with great pomp and show.

What does the Indian constitution mean to you?

The Indian constitution is the whole identity of the country. It's having a republic where everything is written down, rules and rights were laid down on paper for everyone to follow and understand the meaning of being a republic.

What are your most precious memories of the Republic Day celebrations?

The most precious memories are from Army school because we used to have a lot of activities on such important days. We had sports competitions and of course the flag hoisting where a big Army officer would grace the occasion. We used to be in high spirits on these special days that celebrate the country.
