What is the Significance of Republic Day in India?
Since 1950, every year January 26 is celebrated as Republic Day in India. It was on this day in 1950 that the Indian Constitution came into existence.
An interesting point to note here is that India got independence on August 15, 1947 from the British rule, which is celebrated as the Independence Day of India. However, 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.
