India celebrates Republic Day annually on January 26 to mark the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950, replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.
Since 1950, every year January 26th is celebrated as Republic Day in India. It was on this day in 1950 that the Indian Constitution came into existence. India got independence on August 15, 1947 from the British rule, which is celebrated as the Independence Day of India and it was on November 26, 1949 that Indian Constitution was first adopted. But the integration of this big nation and unifying the wide variety of cultural diversities was not done until January 26, 1950 i.e., when the Indian Constitution came into effect.
The governing principle of the Indian Constitution is “of the people, for the people and by the people”, which signifies that the power is vested in the hands of the citizens of India. Republic Day marks the celebration of the empowerment of Indian citizens to select their own government.
