India received independence on August 15, 1947. We had to fight a lot for freedom and many people sacrificed their lives for it. Thousands of people went to jail during the freedom struggle in the Republic of India. Some great leaders and educated people made a new constitution of India. Hence, the Constitution was so implemented on January 26, 1950.
Reason Behind Republic Day Celebration
About two and a half years later, India implemented its constitution and declared itself as a democratic republic. After nearly 2 years 11 months and 18 days on January 26, 1950, our Parliament passed the Indian Constitution. That Constitution is the root cause of actually celebrating this day like Republic Day on 26th January. Our Constitution of Independent India got implemented on January 26, 1950.
According to the same Ganatantrik constitution, the announcement of the president was also made on this day. It was announced that the person who will be in the supreme power of the country will be well known as President.
Republic Day is our national festival. This day is so celebrated with a public holiday. A grand parade is also organized from the Rashtrapati Bhavan to the Red Fort and people watch it on TV.
Every Indian remembers the freedom fighter who sacrificed their lives for mother India and pay tribute to them.
