Republic Day 2026, as we all know, marks the adoption of India's Constitution on January 26, 1950. This transformed the nation into a sovereign republic. Celebrated annually with parades, flag hoisting, and patriotic fervour, it symbolises unity, democracy, and national pride. In a digitally connected world, sharing wishes on WhatsApp has become essential, allowing people to connect instantly with family, friends, and communities across the world. Personalised stickers add a creative touch, making greetings more engaging and heartfelt during the festivities.
