Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday greeted the nation on the occasion of Republic Day.
"Wishing all the people of India a Happy Republic Day. Jai Hind!" Modi tweeted.
India is celebrating its 72nd Republic Day, the day its constitution came into force in 1950.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to honour India's Constitution and note that the "Republic belongs to you".
"Every citizen of India determines the fate of the country, whether it is a Satyagrahi farmer-laborer or small-medium businessman, a young woman seeking a job or a housewife troubled by inflation. The Republic belongs to you, the Republic belongs to you. Congratulations!" he wrote on the microblogging platform.
