“Sanskriti” and “Culture” words originate from languages that perhaps were a setting stone to persisting cultures across the world! Culture not only defines how we live, culture moves mountains as once it moved India into a force that ended the long British Raj into an Independent Nation! It was culture of no longer budging our stance and demanding a liberal life free of colonial rule. On 15th August 1947 India was declared independent and on 26th January 1950 our constitution came into effect and we became a democracy hereafter! Every year on the 26th of January a Republic Day parade is held at the capital, New Delhi, commemorating at the Rashtrapati Bhawan following the Rajpath Boulevard past the India Gate. Since, the seven decades and more, post Independence every state has developed a proud culture they follow! Though, this culture always sustained in India that trickled through generations holds of a paramount space in heritage. Diverse in history, crafts, architecture, textile, performing arts and linguistics, India’s culture is as rich as it gets.

A day that marks the commemoration of the constitution of a Nation that was built upon, after almost 200 years of colonisation. India was once a major trading capital and ruled the silk route; our air-woven handlooms were world renowned and the artisans were reputed as maestros in their craft before the looms were highly imposed with taxes and most of our craftsmen were lost to work in indigo plantations. When we look at the journey we are now on it only swells us with pride that even after all of this, the culture of artistry didn’t die. Let us honour in pride and all our might and don upon our traditional for they remind us of who we are a Proud Patron of India.
