Its 26th Jan 2022, exactly year before there was a big drama of implicating farmers protest as terrorists rally. All the godi media were busy sensationalizing farmer's march as anti national activity. And year later prime sevak bowed his head fearing loss in elections. In the run up to this a toolkit was discovered by the police and environmentalist Disha Ravi was arrested for being part of the social media management of the farmer protest.
There was fake online controversy which pulled up Disha Ravi and termed her as a abhrahamic. Thanks to a fearless judge who laid thread bare about constitutional rights and hidden ill feel towards the protesters by those in power especially by the prime sevak who invented term called andolanjeevi to rebuke the protesting souls.
Coming back to the importance of 26th January While our Independence Day celebrates freedom from British Rule, Republic Day commemorates the constitution coming into force. January 26 was the chosen date since it was on this day in 1929 that the Indian National Congress issued the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj), opposing the British Regime's Dominion status.
Just identifying one day to mark our Independence and republic ideas doesn't to any justice to the character of the country. Every day when power decides future course of action without consulting its citizens marks the encroaching that pretty scarce freedom space. Every day when citizens make the power bow down to their aspirations marks the addition of same pretty scarce space.
