   Hello friends ~ My co-host on my Wednesday's radio show Dr Aadil Chimthanawala Kasim, cardiologist, opened the show with a hearty welcome celebration to India's Republic Day. I was surprised to hear of it, as a US citizen, this is one holiday I don't typically celebrate. Thank you for telling us more about it.
   
   I don't understand this statement, "Indian constitution is the biggest written constitution in the world."
   
   How is it the 'biggest' - do you mean the longest?
   
   In what ways do you personally and as a nation celebrate?
   
   Happy Holiday!

   Republic day is not a happy day for all. It is because my forefathers sacrificed their life for Independence of India but their sons, daughters and grand sons and grand daughters are now the victims and deprived from the happiness of Republic day due to the partition of Bengal and suffering mentally inside the religious prison of Bangladesh instead of living in their dream land secular Bengal of Indian Union. Is the republic day showed any wishful memory for those hearts who sacrificed their life for Independence movement of India but excluded their territory by the then Indian Leaders.
