Republic Day in India: History, Celebrations & Significance | India Republic Day
Republic Day is a national observed holiday in India that is celebrated every year on the 26th of January in remembrance of bringing into force the Constitution of India in 1950. This glorious day transformed India from the status of dominion under the British to that of a sovereign republic. It developed the constitutional roots to run the country in the form of an act of governance, the Government of India Act. Under the leadership of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Constitution was drafted by the Constituent Assembly, and on January 26, 1950, it came into operation on the proclamation of the Republic of India.
