Joy Ride : Republic Day with the Children

26th January 1950 is one of the most important days in Indian history as it was on this day the constitution of India came into force and India became a truly sovereign state.

This day is a solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died for the country in the freedom movement and the succeeding wars for the defense of sovereignty of their country.

But, The Republic day is also a day where we as its citizen redeem our pledge to do all we can to preserve the sovereignty, integrity and long term prosperity of the nation.

Every citizen has in himself the capability and the opportunity to contribute towards taking India towards its rightful place in the world and thereby bringing joy and celebration in the life of its citizen.

Perhaps most of all, it's the children of our great nation who are and will be instrumental in securing and cementing India's future. And with a young population as ours, it is among these children that the greats of our tomorrow reside, and it is them that we must dedicate our attention too.

As we all know, to mark the importance of this occasion, every year a grand parade is held in the capital from Rajghat along the Vijaypath in our capital New Delhi, where the country's diversity, culture, and spirit along with the capability and advancement of our country and its people are showcased to the entire world.

In keeping the great traditional and with the aim of doing something for the children of Mumbai, Bombay Bikers will organize a unique event for the orphan children of Mumbai on the day of Republic day called 'Joy Ride 2008'.

100 orphan children will spend a day along with the members of Bombay riders, where they will be part of a rally from Dadar to Andheri for a day filled with fun and frolic. It will also allow these children to fulfill their passion for bikes, and more importantly allow them to discover one for their 'Motherland' on one of its most important days.

This one-of-a-kind rally will begin from Shivaji Park, Dadar with a total of 250 participants, which will include the children, the members of Bombay Riders'. Also joining them will be a number of renowned social personalities and celebrities, all there to make the day special for the children and to set the right example and spread the right message of patriotism, peace, unity and support amongst its citizens.

This event has already garnered encouraging response from a host of quarters, including the media, social figures not to mention the children and the orphanages themselves and the members of 'Bombay Riders' themselves.

We have decided to leave no stone unturned to make this day a success. All this requires is your support, cooperation and your active participation to provide this noble cause the right encouragement, attention and promotion it rightly deserves.

Here's hoping for a positive and productive response.
