New Delhi [India], Jan 26 (NT): On 26th January it is Republic Day in India, take a look at what your favourite telly actors think about Repulic Day.

1.  Mohammad Nazim:

Many people aren’t even aware what a republic nation means. India might be a democratic republic on paper, but in reality, it isn’t. If it was then why was the rape juvenile convict left free? And get awarded for rape?

2. Shubhangi Atre:

I guess we all were taught the significance of Republic Day in Indian History. But the question is whether it actually holds any significance for us beyond passing an 8th standard history exam? Is it just another holiday, an excuse to not go to work, maybe just a dry day. It brings us to ponder over the meaning of Republic Day Celebrations.

3. Arjun Bijlani:

There is modernisation, yet the mindset of people is getting narrower. We see that often that in cases of rape and molestation, the dressing sense of girls is questioned and not the intentions of the man. While our Prime Minister is wandering too far off lands, to ensure that India gets a good exposure in the world, people don’t come out of their house, afraid of the risks they might face.

4. Devoleena Bhattacharjee:

India is a republic country but can be truly republic. It’s when regional identity takes a backseat and what matters most is the universal appeal of unity and brotherhood projected by all Indians. The Indian constitution basically stands for the aspirations which ‘the common man of India’ cherishes.

5. Rashami Desai:

India is made of people. And one of them is you. You are part, although a tiny fractional part, of India. Your tiny efforts may turn out to become something huge. So, are you the one? On this republic day, do you pledge to be the change, that spark that will ignite others in doing good? Let’s just not celebrate this Republic Day as an achievement or entertainment, but as a responsibility that we have towards our nation.
