Republic Day is here… and here’s a hottie who very concerned about the way this patriotic day is celebrated these days.
Amrita Rao is quite unhappy that although we Indians are on par with other developing countries of world, somewhere we have lost the passion for patriotism.
“For us our daily needs and the craze for success has become our priority and celebrating the important days of 15th August and 26th January are just a formality,” stated the actress.
While people living in remote areas of India are not interested in Constitution and its articles, the urbanites pass the day as just another national holiday, feels Amrita.
She added that although Republic Day is celebrated every year one forgets about its significance the very next day.
Amrita also shared her views on today’s politicians, democracy and developments of India.
“We are seeing a developing India in metros and big cities and not the real India, which reside.
In the villages,” stated Rao, “Poverty, unemployment, illiteracy are the common problems faced by the people in far-flung areas. If people are not literate then how can they possibly understand the importance of democracy? Not only our political leaders.
It is our duty as well to turn India into a prosperous nation, only then would the hard work of Ambedkar and his Constituent Assembly show positive results.” On Republic Day, Amrita is planning to watch the parade on the big screen or may fly to New Delhi for it. We wish her and our readers a very Happy Republic Day! Jai Hind!
