Jai Hind ! Jain Bharat ! 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🎆✨🎆🌼🌸🌷

Wish you all a very happy republic day. Let us celebrate the spirit of Indianness with the spirit of patriotism, unify ourselves and strengthen the power of India to lead the world in the coming days.

On this anniversary day of implementation of our Indian Constitution, we commemorate our Indian identity and our unique unity in diversity. The spirit of our national festivals particularly the republlic day and independence day is symbolized by celebration of our esteemed Tricolour which is a mark what Indianness actually implies for. Celebration of the spirit of tricolour on this national festival definitely demands some tricolour food and drinks, which has become a kind of trend nowadays.
