Prime Minister shares Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the importance of Republic Day
January 26, 2026

The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that Republic Day is a powerful symbol of India’s freedom, Constitution and democratic values. He noted that the occasion inspires the nation with renewed energy and motivation to move forward together with a firm resolve towards nation-building.

The Prime Minister shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam on the occasion-
“पारतन्त्र्याभिभूतस्य देशस्याभ्युदयः कुतः। अतः स्वातन्त्र्यमाप्तव्यमैक्यं स्वातन्त्र्यसाधनम्॥”

The Subhashitam conveys that a nation that is dependent or under subjugation cannot progress. Therefore, only by adopting freedom and unity as our guiding principles can the progress of the nation be ensured.

The Prime Minister wrote on X;

“गणतंत्र दिवस हमारी स्वतंत्रता, संविधान और लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों का सशक्त प्रतीक है। यह पर्व हमें एकजुट होकर राष्ट्र निर्माण के संकल्प के साथ आगे बढ़ने की नई ऊर्जा और प्रेरणा देता है।

पारतन्त्र्याभिभूतस्य देशस्याभ्युदयः कुतः।

अतः स्वातन्त्र्यमाप्तव्यमैक्यं स्वातन्त्र्यसाधनम्॥”
