26january for every Indian is a day to witness the greatness and achievements of our fighters. It is also to adore the beautiful cultures that lie here.

Republic Day 2023: Know the journey of India toward a Republic Nation
75 years have passed since India attained Independence from British domination, and post that, the Indian Constitution came into effect. Dr. Rajendra Prasad raised the Indian National Flag with a 21-gun salute. Three years later, in 1950, a new republic was established on 26 January, which we celebrate as Republic Day.
- India didn’t have its constitution before Independence. The Government of India Act 1935 served as the primary inspiration for the statutes.
- Later on 29 August 1947, a resolution was passed designating Dr. BR Ambedkar as Chairman of the drafting committee to create our nation’s independence constitution.
- Its guiding principles developed for around two years and eleven months in India. Finally, our Indian constitution came into effect on 26 January 1950.
