It has been 72 years since the day on which India s constitution came into being making it a
democratic, sovereign and republic nation. The world viewed the prospect of independent India as improbable. At the stroke of the midnight hour, columnists were penning down India’s uncertain future that a country so poor, so uneducated, so unprepared and so startlingly diverse would not sustain. Still, it did, and it would be an understatement to say that our country has made immense progress, overcoming various hurdles.
