This Republic Day, we asked people if they have faith in the brighter side – if they believe in the better India. And heart-warming responses came in from all over. These are some of the many reasons why Indians #BelieveInTheBetterIndia:
“Happiness is simply a habit of looking on the brighter side of everything.” – Richelle E. Goodrich
