Bollywood gets Patriotic on the Republic Day
2008-01-25 23:27:00 Priyanka Chopra: "My favorite patriotic song will have to be Mile Sur Tera Hamara. Every time I would see all the stalwarts of the country from Lataji to Pandit Ravi Shankar to Shabana Azmi, come together on television to sing that song, I would get goose bumps. In fact, I get that 'goosebumpy' feeling even now I speak to you about that song. My favorite national figure is Rajiv Gandhi. He was a lovely man and a truly remarkable visionary. He dreamt of taking India into the new millennium but couldn't live to see that dream come true. Believe me; we haven't even realized ten percent of our full potential as yet." J.P Dutta: "My favorite patriotic song is Hum Laayen Hain Toofan Se Kashti Nikalke Iss Desh Ko Rakhna Mere Bachcho Sambhal Ke from the film Jagriti. My favorite patriotic film will have to be my own Border. And I'd say the true national figure is the The Soldier of the armed forces. He represents the true spirit of India."

Thoughts on Republic Day
2008-01-18 12:33:00 Republic day is celebrated on 26th January every year in India. The major reason behind the celebration of 26th January as Republic Day of India is that on 26th January, 1950 India became fully sovereign nation because constitute of India came into force first time on this day. Other reason behind the celebration of Republic Day is routed in Indian national congress?s decision to celebrate this day as Republic day of India every year during the Lahore session. From 1950, Indians are observing 26 January as Republic day of India. On this day, whole nation remains on holiday and people of India salute the sovereignty of India by hoisting Indian Flag. This day is celebrated at different levels and in all parts of India. This day is also used to show the muscle power of armed forces and diversity of Indian culture. More or less Republic days of most of nation resemble with each other and to some extent our Republic day celebrations also come under the same category. I remember my child...
