As we commemorate India’s 76th Repubic Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the readers of South Asian Times. On January 26,1950, we adopted our Constitution, which established the framework for a democratic nation grounded in the principles of justice, freedom, equality, and brotherhood. It serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility to uphold the values of our Constitution in our daily lives.
As we hoist our tricolor and participate in the celebrations, let us renew our commitment in building a greater and stronger India. May the essence of Republic Day guide us in our pursuit of progress, peace, and harmony.
Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!

Happy 76th India Republic Day! Progress and prosperity for everyone.
Indo-US relations are the best they have ever been and in a united spirit of cooperation, with bilateral and multilateral trade agreements in place. Enormous cultural exchange through Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift concert performances in India, as well as millions of Americans who have headed to India on spiritual journeys to experience the Kumbh Mela or the Taj Mahal, shows that at a grassroots level we are poised for great success of both countries together. The digital prowess of India is needed by the world so Indians will enjoy great personal and financial success as we move ahead this year and in the years to come - so India and Indians all over the world have much to celebrate on this 76th India Republic Day!
Finally, on a more personal note, as we move out of Kali Yug into the Kriya Yug, or 1000 years of transparency, I wish for everyone Peace, Joy and Abundance. May all be free of strife and stress and truly enjoy our life on this planet.
And as always, my personal mantra to everyone for success is. “We are to the universe, only as much as we give back to it”! Remember it, imbibe it and thrive. (Photo courtesy: Meera Gandhi)
