"I have many fond memories of celebrating Republic Day in school as a kid. All students would participate in the celebrations where we hoisted the flag and sang patriotic songs. I used to like being part of flag hoisting ceremonies, be it at school or in our society. Prominent personalities from defence background would come as Chief Guests in school. I wish everyone a very Happy Republic Day."

"I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Republic Day. I truly consider myself fortunate to be a citizen of this country.

Sehban Azim aka Zaki in Humsafars

"In Delhi, Republic Day is celebrated in a big way. I remember my father taking me for the parade at India Gate, it is one experience I will never forget. As a kid, all of us used to eagerly wait to watch the speech and parade on television. I do feel that patriotism is missing in today's youth. I feel we all need to not only think about ourselves but also about the growth and development of the entire nation. Happy Republic Day to all."
