At the heart of these celebrations remains the historic moment when, on the 26th of January 1950, India declared itself a sovereign, democratic, and republic with the formal adoption of its Constitution. Embarking on a journey to carve a democratic path in the aftermath of British colonial rule, the process of drafting the Constitution began shortly after 1947, the year India attained independence.
It was the result of an extraordinary collaborative effort that the Indian Constituent Assembly, through rigorous debates and discussions that spanned over two years, finalized a document that stands today as the most extensive written constitution of any sovereign nation in the world. The Constitution enshrined fundamental rights and duties for its citizens and laid the foundations for a governance structure that espouses the values of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity.
As India commemorated this landmark 75th Republic Day, the collective voice of the film fraternity echoed the spirit of patriotism and reverence towards the Constitution which has been the bedrock of Indian democracy for three-quarters of a century.
