Question

Why do we celebrate Republic Day?

Answer 1

Answer:

On 26 January 1950, India became a republic when the Constitution of India came into effect.

• The Constitution of India replaced the Government of India Act (1935) as the country’s governing document on December 26, 1950.
• The Indian Independence Act was passed in the British Parliament on August 15, 1947, and India was granted independence from Britain.
• India became a British Commonwealth dominion under this Act, with the British monarch George VI as the sovereign.
• The Drafting Committee was established on August 28, 1947, with Dr B R Ambedkar as its Chairman, to develop a permanent constitution for the country.
• In November of the same year, the Committee delivered a new constitution to the Constituent Assembly. This was the goal of the Assembly, which was established in 1946.
• This Assembly gathered in many sessions over nearly three years to examine and debate the text, make revisions, and approve a constitution that was agreeable to everybody.
• The constitution was passed and adopted by the assembly on 26 November 1949.
