INDIA ......OH ,,,, INDIA ,,,,THIS ONE IS FOR YOU !!!!! INDIA TO CELEBRATE 66 th REPUBLIC DAY  January 26th, India will celebrate its 66th Republic Day, in grand celebrations throughout the vastly populated Country. A vibrant electoral democracy has been India's most enduring and endearing identity ever since India adopted a great constitution that made it a democratic republic with universal adult suffrage. This was considered by the developed countries as a foolhardy misadventure. Their scepticism was based on the ground realities of the time. India has been devastated by a deadly partition in which millions of lives were lost. It was an unequal , fractured caste based hierarchical society with 84 % illiteracy and extreme poverty . The 14th General Elections in May 2014, was THE BIGGEST ELECTIONS IN WORLD HISTORY. As many as 554 million of 834 million registered voters exercised their franchise at 931,986 polling booths on 1.8 million voting machines. In sheer size, the Indian electorate is bigger than the combined voter population of each continent. In fact it is like 90 Countries rolled into one, not just in terms of numbers alone, but the complexities as well. In 1830, Sir Charles Metcalfe , the then acting Governor General of India wrote : "The village communities are little republics, having nearly everything they want within themselves and almost independent of any foreign relations. " India now basks in 66 years of Republican glory ...silencing the prophets of doom. Over the past 66 years, the Election Commission of India, has delivered 16 elections to the Lok Sabha (house of the people) and over 360 elections to State Legislative Assemblies without missing a single deadline. Peaceful, orderly and democratic transfer of power has been the envy of the entire democratic world. The outgoing Prime Minister, offering his chair to the incoming one with humility and folded hands has been a sight which many democracies only long to see. India is indeed, undoubtedly the most diverse country to the world multi-religious , multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic, ,,,,, Twenty-two official languages and 780 spoken languages. A stage has come to India, holding a free and fair election ....that was India's promise to its People and the World. It's your day ...INDIA ,,,,,,enjoy your Republic Day ,,,,,,  "There is no path to happiness : Happiness is the path .......Cilla " |
