Happy Republic Day 2021: Why it is celebrated? History, Importance, Story Behind It
Republic Day is celebrated every year on January 26 in India, since 1950 to commemorate the Indian Constitution replacing the Government of India Act (1935) as the governing document of India.Â As we celebrate our 72nd Republic Day today, let us know why the day is celebrated, its significance, and importance.
Republic Day History
India obtained its independence on 15 August 1947 though the nation did not have a permanent constitution, instead the country was functional on the laws that were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. On 29 August 1947, a resolution was moved for the appointment of Drafting Committee for the development of a permanent constitution with Dr B R Ambedkar as chairman. The first draft of the constitution was submitted by the committee to the Constituent Assembly on 4 November 1947.

Republic Day | Republic Day 2021: History of the day & significance of India becoming a republic

Updated Jan 25, 2021 | 11:47 IST
The day is important in the history of India because it is the day when Indian National Congress made the declaration of complete self-rule/total independence or Poorna Swaraj.
Republic Day 2021: History & Significance
Republic Day honours the date, January 26, 1950, on which The Constitution of India came into effect by replacing the Government of India act (1935).
While India achieved independence from the British Raj in 1947 through the Indian Independence Act 1947, it wasn't until 1950 that we became a sovereign state. Republic Day celebrates the coming into force of India's constitution.
History of the day
The Indian Constitution was drafted by BR Ambedkar, also known as the Architect of Indian Constitution. 26 January was chosen as the date for Republic day because it was on this day in 1930 that the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed by the Indian National Congress as opposed to the Dominion status that was offered by the Britishers.
