Republic day of India - Pledge

On 26th January 2012, I send a mail to my friends with the below text.
============================================
Dear brothers and sisters,
Today morning I went to the school to drop my son for the Republic day
celebrations.
It reminded me the nostalgic school days, the pledge etc.
Let us all renew our pledge:
India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give respect to my parents, teachers and all elders and treat
everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.
In their well being and prosperity alone, lies my happiness.

Happy republic day to my billion plus brothers and sisters of India.

Greetings from Jeddah,

I received few touching replies to this mail, which I thought of sharing with you all here:

2nd One:

Dears, 

As a practice this year also I attended the Republic day program at our School.

It is a great pleasure to participate in this celebration at IISJ when we are away from our home. A slogan announced there attracted my attention and I'm very much proud of it. "You can take out an Indian from India but never possible to take India from an Indian" 

Be proud to be an Indian!!

Wish you all a very happy Republic Day!!!

3rd One:

Dear friends – A very good Republic Day to you all. 

Today morning I have participated  with my son Nidal, the Republic day celebration at IISJ which was excellent with many cultural and patriotically educating programs. Thanks for those dedicated teachers and school staff and mgmnt for arranging such wonderful program to commemorate our republic day. For my young son Nidal, it is his birth day too. 

Let us all renew our pledge:

India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.

I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.

I shall always strive to be worthy of it.

I shall give respect to my parents, teachers and all elders and treat

everyone with courtesy.

To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.

In their well being and prosperity alone, lies my happiness.

Watan hamara aisa koi na chhod paaye,
Rishta hamara aisa koi na tod paaye,
Dil ek hai ek jaan hai hamari,
Hindustan hamara hai hum iski shaan hain.
Happy Republic Day 2012. 

Jai Hind
