January 26

India - The Golden Bird, is known to the world as the land of prosperity. There are many reasons to term the country as 'Incredible India'. Hundreds of monuments, beautiful dance forms, languages, varieties of food, Gods, customs and festivals. Not only this, ideals of equality, liberty and fraternity are celebrated everyday. Republic Day is a reminder, not only for India, but also to the rest of the world that we are democratic and we believe in constitutional system and federal structure.

On January 26, 1950 the Indian constitution came into effect. January 26 was not an ordinary date. It had historical significance, i.e. January 26, 1930 was celebrated as the Poorna Swaraj Day or First Independence Day by Indian National Congress while opposing the British colonial rule.

Thus, even if our constitution was ready and was adopted on November 26, 1949, Constituent Assembly decided to put that into effect from January 26, 1950. The day was celebrated as our first Republic Day.


India is a Republican State as the head of the nation (President) is an elected representative, not a dictator or a monarch. We believe in the rule of the common people who elect their leaders to rule the
country.

Republic Day celebration is always grand. Let's make it more meaningful by taking a pledge to follow the ideals of the Indian Constitution as a responsible citizen of India, and contribute to this world in every possible way. We need to believe that every small step can bring a big change.
