Let me mention a date. "26th January 1950." The day when Indian Constitution was formed. A day which is also called The Republic Day. It's around the corner. The Indian Constitution is about to turn 70.

Happy 70th to the Indian Constitution. 70 Years since the Indian Constitution was abided. Since all the laws , rules and regulations were enforced. The fundamental rights , the sections under which the punishments are given for committing a crime.

Basically the day when India got it's law and order.

One familiar name that comes in all of our minds when we talk about Constitution and everything that's related to it is DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR.

B.R Ambedkar is popularly known as The Father of Indian Constitution. He was the chairman of the Drafting committee and the person responsible behind Caste superiority for the lower castes in terms of education.

Republic Day which is one of the nation's days besides The Independence Day , the day when we got our Independence.

These days which are dedicated towards the nation , brings in felicitation too. Felicitating the personalities who've contributed immensely to the nation's welfare, safety , progress and development in different fields and also to the ones who've lost their lives in order to safeguard the country and it's prestige. To make sure anything doesn't happen to the general people.
