Guwahati: On the occasion of the 74th Republic Day, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma presided over the flag-raising event at Khanapara Veterinary Field. He addressed the ceremony with a poem by Prasannalal Chowdhury. Along with wishing everyone in the state a “Happy Republic Day,” he introduced the phrase “terms of the Constitution of India are not restricted to legislation” as a tribute to the valiant martyrs.
He started off with the speech by saying; “The socialism of our Constitution is welfare socialism. Our socialism is believed to have nothing in common with Western Marxism. However, for us, secularism does not entail accommodating any one religion.
Jews, Muslims, and all ethnic groups are welcome in our nation. India, though, is a civilization that built the nation of today; it is not a state. The Prime Minister of India has turned the hope of immortality into the consciousness of the people of India, and as a result, India has grown to be one of the world’s democracies. Indian socialism predates Western Marxism by a wide margin. The rehearsals for a new India have started under the direction of the Prime Minister.
However, he also noted in his speech that since Modi assumed power, India has witnessed a remarkable transformation, and that Modi’s vision of a Digital India has brought India a long way from where it is now.
The good news is that the entire Indian economy is now moving forward in a digital environment. This is a great time for us as India’s economy has now overtaken the United States to become the fifth largest economy in the world. India should be proud of its G20 presidency.
