Comment – Gobind Bathija

On this proud occasion of India’s 77th Republic Day, I extend my warmest greetings and heartfelt congratulations to our entire community. January 26 is more than a date in history—it is a reminder of the values, sacrifices, and vision that shaped the world’s largest democracy. It is a day that honors the Constitution of India, a document that enshrines justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity for all.
As we celebrate this important milestone, we also reflect on the remarkable journey of the Indian diaspora. Whether in India or across the globe, our community continues to uphold the spirit of unity, cultural pride, and service. Here in the United States, we remain deeply connected to our heritage while contributing meaningfully to the social, cultural, and economic fabric of this nation.
Republic Day inspires us to renew our commitment to these shared ideals. It reminds us that progress is built through collective effort, mutual respect, and a dedication to the greater good. Let us continue to support one another, celebrate our traditions, and pass on our rich cultural values to the next generation.
Today, we honor the visionaries who drafted the Constitution, the brave individuals who defended our freedoms, and the countless citizens who continue to strengthen India’s democratic foundation.
May this Republic Day bring pride, unity, and renewed purpose to every member of our community.
Jai Hind.
