Happy Republic Day 2021: Why it is celebrated? History, Importance, Story Behind It
Republic Day is celebrated every year on January 26 in India, since 1950 to commemorate the Indian Constitution replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India. As we celebrate our 72nd Republic Day today, let us know why the day is celebrated, its significance, and importance.
Republic Day History
India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 though the nation did not have a permanent constitution, instead the country was functional on the laws that were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 29 August 1947, a resolution was moved for the appointment of Drafting Committee for the development of a permanent constitution with Dr B R Ambedkar as chairman. The first draft of the constitution was submitted by the committee to the Constituent Assembly on 4 November 1947.

26th January 1950 was the historic day on which the Constitution of our beloved country came into affect. Although, the Constitution of India was adopted on 26th November 1949 but it was decided that India will formally adopt it on 26th January.
This was done in honor of 26th January 1929, the day when Indian National Congress declared that India will not settle for a Dominion status and will in fact fight for Purna Swaraj .
