On this Day the Constitution of India came into force, and India declared itself as an "Indian Republic" on January 26, 1950, and became a truly sovereign state called as the Republic Of India. The country, at last, realized the dream of Mahatma Gandhi and the many freedom fighters that fought and sacrificed their lives for the Independence of India. It was a deliberate act as the 26th of January was initially India's "Independence Day", one of Mahatma Gandhi's many symbolic acts during India's freedom struggle against the British colonial rule. The Constitution was prepared by the Constituent Assembly which was set up upon India gaining its independence from the British in 1947. So, 26th of January was declared a national holiday and has been recognized and celebrated as the HappyRepublic day of India, ever since.

History of Happy Republic day

Although India gained its independence in the year 1947, it did not have a permanent constitution and was devoid of political powers and authorities. Later on, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution for India under the chairmanship of Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. On November 4, 1947, the drafted document was submitted and after many debates, negotiations, and modifications the document was approved and signed by all the members of the Assembly on January 24, 1950. Two days after that on January 26, 1950, the constitution of India came into effect. Eventually, the political powers were taken away from the British and India became a 'Republic'.
