66 Republic day, when we celebrate for our republic. People feel 15 august as Independence Day and treated as more important but I feat 26 January as more important that 15 august. The reason behind this was 15 august we celebrate due to freedom from British, which memories that once we were under British control on the other hand this date gave proud when we became a Republic and created our own constitution and our all forces remove the term royal like: Royal Indian Army changed to Indian Army, Royal Air force changed to Indian Air Force and Royal Indian navy changed into Indian Navy.

So for me I treat this as more important for my country compare to 15 August. Now we turn into our own town history. Kharagpur was always a peaceful town even during freedom fighting struggle, There was not any big revolutionary attack or activity took place over here. In our Hijali Asylum some of our great freedom fighters were placed during independence.
