Tejaswi Prakash, an actress, has a particular place in her heart for Republic Day, as it reminds her of her happy childhood. “I loved the day as a child because it was a no-school day,” she remembers. with I recall having a day of family togetherness, traditional Indian foods, with patriotic music playing in the background as I woke up. But the older she became, the more she understood the day. As you get older, you come to understand the significance of your nation and how fortunate we are to live in the largest democracy in the world.
