A celebration of one country, one people and one humanity
SJBHS staff and students unfurled the Indian flag on 26 January 2023, to mark the 74 th
Republic Day of our country.
A proud salute accompanied the unfurling of the tricolour. The melodious strains of the
national anthem were in synchrony with the flag as it fluttered gently in the cool morning
breeze – a gentle reminder of the beauty of the Constitution of India, its tenets, and its
emphasis on the rights of all irrespective of caste, creed and customs.
The events of the morning brought out patriotism, pride and pure nationalistic feelings in the
minds and hearts of the participants.
A special mention has to be made of the students of the pre-primary section who were
dressed as national leaders, freedom fighters and social reformers – an ode to the sacrifices
made and hardships endured by our forefathers during the quest for a free India. The ideals
and aspirations of the great leaders were reiterated to remind the younger generation of the
legacy that they had to observe, conserve and preserve.
The festivities of the 74 th Republic Day came to an end but the feelings that the celebration
brought to the fore were re-visited, reinforced and renewed!
Jai Hind!
