Dear India,
Happy Republic Day! I hope 2021 proves to be a blissful year for you. Take care of yourself and people around you. Be safe. I just want to say that India is a very special country because we have diverse cultures, languages, foods, lifestyles, clothing and traditions in this country.
Secularism is one of the most beautiful aspects of our country and the various religions that are followed here, under one roof. I think it is very important to keep it alive, as that is our uniqueness. So, accept each other. Let's be there for each other. And, let's think widely as one unit.
Yours lovingly,
Anupriya
