Honouring India’s Republic Day – Stabroek News

Rabindranauth Tagore

Today, January 26, is the 76th Anniversary of the Republic Day of India. The nation celebrates this occasion with flag raising, parades, official speeches, political and cultural events in India and in the Indian diaspora worldwide.  In honour of the occasion, here’s a small sample of Indian poetry. 

India became a republic and adopted its own constitution in 1950. It had obtained independence from Britain in August, 1947 and the partition of India took place when the country was separated from the newly created nation of Pakistan.  On January 26, 1950,  the British head of state was replaced by an Indian president.  In the meantime, Indian literature, led by the international recognition of the work of Rabindranath  Tagore, was, like the young nation, developing and slowly gaining acknowledgement.
