Why do we celebrate Republic Day ??

We, the citizens of India celebrate Republic day on 26th of January every year. How many of us really know the reason why this day is so auspicious to us? Come on, let us know.

India got independence on 15th of August 1947 from the British rule(United Kingdom) and was declared as independent country from then. But we do not have our own constitution by the time we got independence. So, as we have to frame our constitution, a drafting committee was formed on 4th of November 1947. We

then get a question in our minds, What do you mean by constitution? Why do we frame it? 

To get the definition is simple words, we can say that constitution is a book which has boundaries, rules and regulations which have to be followed by every citizen of India. We call Dr.B.R.Ambedkar as the father of constitution. Every article, every part, schedules, appendices, Amendments are designed and framed to direct the roles of government servants from the president, prime minister to a local government official who is on a government duty. It even speaks about the rights given to union territories, independent states to a grama panchayat, municipality.

At last, Our constitution was formed and came into power from January 26 1950. Dr. Rajendra Prasad was the first president to take oath as a president after framing our own constitution. Before we got our independence, there was a governor general for each state, who is responsible to rule the state. Even after we got our independence, from August 15 1947 to January 25 1950 there was a governor general for each state. Our constitution says, we follow federal society which means there should be president and prime minister to govern the whole country whereas governor and chief minister to each state to govern them independently. The other point which we need to observe is, president hoists our flag on republic day and prime minister hoists our flag on independence day which says it all.

So, this day remarks as the day from which India's constitution came into force completing the country's transition toward becoming an independent republic. That is the reason we celebrate Republic day. JAI HIND.

WHAT CAN I DO?

This can be the question in every one's life if asked. We unfortunately see many accidents which occur in front of us. We read in news papers or articles about them. After we read those news or articles, if we can think for a while "what can I do to stop these happen?" then there will be a vast change in us. It may not be confined to this topic. Just ask yourselves, in every incident that occur in your life. "What did I do to prevent it for the next time?"

I was moved when I heard about the accident that was occurred on 30th of October 2013.

A Volvo bus running under Jabbar travels was struck under fire at Palem village in Mahaboobnagar district in which 45 people were burnt totally in the bus. The reason was over speed. Neither the bus have any safety precautions nor the driver know how to react at fire accidents.

Accidents of private travels are not for the first time and happen very frequently. This have just been another example for people, warning not to travel in private buses.

APSRTC have lot of buses available and its services are far better than private travels but people still tend to travel in private buses itself. APSRTC run buses with high safety measures and in any circumstances it can save all the people in the bus, even if any accident happens by chance. Even the drivers are very well trained and there are very less chances for an accident in APSRTC buses. May be many of them doesn't know this fact that, private buses run at 110 Km/hr at nights on an average which is frightening and totally unsafe for passengers in the bus. 

When all the people prefer APSRTC, slowly there will be demand for buses and even they will be designed luxurious as passengers needed. The demand should be from the people(its me and you). PLEASE DO NOT PREFER PRIVATE TRAVELS. TRAVEL IN APSRTC BUSES WHICH IS SAFE AND CHEAP. OUR SAFETY IS THEIR FIRST PRIORITY.

APSRTC profit will be in crores of rupees daily if all of us prefer government buses rather than private buses. That way, there will be a solution to this problem. Let us feel this as an experience and let us not travel in private buses in the near future.

We can't just blame the government for all the issues and leave them. Its our prime responsibility to strive for a solution when any problem occurs. I feel the way i spoke above can be reliably better solution. If you have any please do comment below. This is what comes out when we just think "what can I do?"
