What does the Indian constitution mean to you?
The Indian constitution is the supreme law of India and we as citizens of the country will abide by and follow it .
What are your most precious memories of the Republic Day celebrations?
The most precious memories are from school. We use to have an assembly for all the grades in school. We would sing the National Anthem and participate in the flag hoisting ceremony. Then some snacks would be served and we would be given a break for the rest of the day.
