On January 26, 1950, India became a republic. Here’s how it happened.
“I feel that the Constitution is workable, it is flexible and it is strong enough to hold the country together both in peacetime and in wartime.”
This is what Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Chairman of the Drafting Committee, said at the end of the debates on the draft of the Constitution. Did you know how long the discussions took? Almost three years; two years, 11 months and 18 days exactly. But creating the draft itself took only two months (from August 28 to November 5, 1947).
