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". 

भारत का प्रत्येक नागरिक देश का भाग्य विधाता है चाहे वो सत्याग्रही किसान-मज़दूर हो या लघु-मध्यम व्यापारी, नौकरी तलाश करता युवा हो या महँगाई से परेशान गृहणी।

गणतंत्र आपसे है, गणतंत्र आपका है।

शुभकामनाएँ!#RepublicDay pic.twitter.com/ULRcTiiuMn

"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.
