Republic Day 2024: Why and How Republic Day is celebrated in India | 75th Republic Day

On 26th November 1949 Constituent Assembly accepted India's Constitution but it came into power from 26th January 1950 therefore we celebrate it to mark that day. The constitution of India was ready after 2 years 11 months and 18 days (almost 3 years). 

It's a national festival celebrated throughout the country with great pomp and show. A grand parade is held at Rajpath in New Delhi as well as many cultural programs in whole the country. After India's Constitution brought into effect India became a federal, democratic republic, removing monarchy. In 1929 Jawaharlal Nehru was elected the president and he is asked for complete freedom.

Indian leaders announced January 26, 1930 as 'Purna Swaraj Divas'
(Independence Day) but it was not true until 1947 as they considered. 

This year we are going to celebrate 75th Republic Day and the main thing like every year is parade that is held at Rajpath.

What's special on this Republic Day

Wait for some time until I write.

History of behind Republic Day celebration

India suffered the slavery of British rule for so long that's about 200 years. It was because of the business with India and the struggle between interested nations. However, India became fully independent on August 15, 1947 but it has no its constitution by which the country can be managed systematically. On November 4, 1947 the first Indian Constitution draft was presented by the drafting committee to the national assembly and it was verified by singing on January 24, 1950 in English and Hindi. At the last stage means 26th January 1950 it came into effect and since then we are celebrating this day as Republic Day means Anniversary of 'Purna Swaraj Divas'. It is called Republic Day because in the Constitution of India there was many rights reserved for all people, so we also remind them. Indian Constitution provided the power to the citizens of India to elect their own government by election after every five years.
