Republic Day
We celebrate 26th January with great honour as Republic day every year in india from 1950. India got freedom from the British Rule on 15th of August in the year 1947. At that time, there was no any permanent constitution of the country. Then Dr. Abedkar prepared and drafted the Constitution of India, so on that day the Constitution of India, drafted by Dr BR Ambedkar, was signed by the national assembly in both version, the English and the Hindi and came into force and replaced the Government of India Act, 1935, as the governing document of the country, completing the transition towards becoming a sovereign democratic republic . The constitution was passed on November 26, 1949. However, because the Indian National Congress had passed a resolution in 1930, fixing January 26 as the independence day, the assembly, after passing the constitution, decided to wait till January 26, 1950. Then, the 26th of January was started celebrating as the Republic Day in India. At this day, India was declared as the Purna Swaraj Country thus it was started celebrating every year as the anniversary of the Purna Swaraj Day. India is a country having people of different cultures, societies, religions and languages who interplay with each other harmoniously.
