Happy Constitution Day!

Dear Children,

 Did you know,  today is Constitution Day in India?  It is celebrated every year on 26th of November as the constitution of India was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26th of November in the year 1949 and came into force on 26th of January in 1950.

These are the opening words of the preamble to the Indian Constitution:

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;

and to promote among them all

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation.

You may watch the story of how the Constitution of India was made, here.

And, if you want to know more about the Constitution , you can read the book ' We the Children of India ' beautifully written by Justice Leila Seth.

Let us celebrate this day with a feeling of pride for we belong to a wonderful nation which has been built with a lot of sacrifice, love and care.
