I Love My India (Republic Day)

RUBEN: “Fight for Peace, Liberty, Equality & Justice.” On the 61 Republic Day of our Country, Fr Robert gave a meaningful speech. It was about dialogue highlighting the progress that India has made & to remember the event that still inspires the hearts of all Indians. We celebrated this Republic Day praying for all people who have dedicated their lives for building our Nation. Let us strive hard to bring peace & unity in our Motherland.

PRADEEP: Sovereign, Socialist, Democratic & Republic is the power of our Nation, India. Fr Robert gave us a thought-provoking message saying ‘law’ is love, hope and service. True freedom comes only when we are able to go beyond ourselves to reach out to others.

ASHWIN REBELLO: “I have nothing new to teach the world, truth and non-violence are as old as the hills.” says Mahatma Gandhiji. Republic Day filled me with feelings of peace, harmony and equality. If we truly love our Nation we will fight for peace, justice and truth which are the immediate requirements of our Nation & that is the spirit of a real patriot. Republic day should not end up with merely a celebration and acknowledgment of the contribution of our great national leaders who gave us the Constitutions. Republic Day stirred up in me new hopes & dreams. So I hope and dream that this National feast will give us the assurance and awareness of a better India, where there will be brotherhood, equality, peace & good-will among all peoples.
