On the 60th anniversary of our Republic Day, I extend my warm greetings and good wishes to the people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Republic Day marks the celebration of India’s Sovereignty. It was on this Day in 1950 that our Constitution came into force. We decided to be a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular and Democratic Republic which would be guided by principles of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. It is our utmost duty as citizens to abide by these Commandments.
We can be justifiably proud of being the largest democracy in the world, where people from various castes, creeds and religions, live in harmony. Our country has huge diversity in terms of culture, language, social norms, traditions and customs and is an outstanding example of unity in diversity. Republic Day is a grand occasion to celebrate this unity in diversity.
On this occasion I appeal to the people of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to imbibe the values enshrined in our Constitution and strive to make India a strong and prosperous nation in the years to come.
Lt Gen (Retd) Bhopinder Singh
Lieutenant Governor
Andaman & Nicobar Islands
