Republic Day in India is celebrated because it's the day of the adoption of its constitution and the transition to a sovereign republic on January 26th, 1950. One internet search shows that India was under British rule for about 200 years until its independence in 1947. So what you see in the photos below is typical of what happens every January 26th among the Lord's people all over India, PRAYING for the nation of India. Especially praying for the salvation of many more souls. India is estimated (by some sources) to be 80% Hindus, 12% Muslim, maybe 3% Christian, and the rest a multitude of other beliefs. So obviously, there's way over one BILLION people in need of a Savior in India! In the 1st photo Brother Prasanth is leading the gathering in prayer. In the 2nd photo the people are either praying or possibly singing the national anthem.
