Tue Jan 21 13:30:00 UTC 2025: ## India Celebrates Republic Day: Speeches, Poems, and Essays Available Online

**New Delhi, [Date]** – India is celebrating its 76th Republic Day on January 26th with nationwide festivities. From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, citizens are marking the day with flag hoisting ceremonies in schools, colleges, government and private offices, and cultural events. The iconic Republic Day parade along Kartavya Path (formerly Rajpath) features vibrant tableaux, while schools across the country organize student-led programs.

To aid these celebrations, online resources are providing speeches, poems, and essays in Hindi for students participating in Republic Day events. These resources offer short speeches and poetry ideas suitable for school functions. The provided materials emphasize key themes:

* **The Importance of Independence and Constitution:** The speeches highlight the significance of the Indian Constitution, adopted on January 26, 1950, granting citizens equality, justice, and freedom. The day commemorates the end of British rule and the establishment of a sovereign, democratic republic.
* **National Unity and Patriotism:** Speeches stress the importance of national unity, patriotism, and the contributions of freedom fighters. Quotes from Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Subhas Chandra Bose, and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar are used to reinforce these themes.
* **India’s Diversity and Strength:** The diverse nature of India – its religions, cultures, and languages – is celebrated as a source of strength and unity.

The online resources also provide a five-point summary explaining the importance of Republic Day to students:

1. Significance of the Constitution.
2. Maintaining national unity and integrity.
3. Promoting patriotism and national unity.
4. Remembering the freedom struggle.
5. Contributing to national development.

While the main focus is on the Republic Day celebrations, the article also briefly notes a separate political development: the Congress party’s release of its list of star campaigners for the upcoming Delhi elections, notably excluding former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda and state president Udaybhan. This omission is attributed to the Congress’s poor performance in districts bordering Haryana in previous elections.
