Dhaka | Speaking on the eve of India’s 76th Republic Day, the High Commissioner of India to Bangladesh, Pranay Verma, reflected on India's remarkable journey since adopting its Constitution on January 26, 1950. He emphasized how the nation has evolved from a state of impoverishment to a modern, capable country contributing to global progress.

“Seventy-six years ago, on January 26, 1950, the people of an independent India, through their constituent assembly, gave themselves a Constitution and declared India a sovereign republic,” Verma stated. “These 76 years have been an extraordinary journey, marked not only by economic growth but also by good governance and solutions to global challenges.”

The High Commissioner highlighted the special relationship between India and Bangladesh, describing it as deeply rooted in shared history, geography, and culture. “Bangladesh has been an important partner for us, connected emotionally by the shared sacrifices of the liberation war. As a neighbor with whom we take a long-term view of relations, our peace, security, progress, and prosperity are interlinked,” he said.
