Republic Day is celebrated with pomp in India on 26 January. On this day in 1950, the Constitution of our country (Indian Constitution) came into force. But do you know that the Constitution of India was made on 26 November 1949, but it was implemented on 26 January 1950. After all, why was it implemented only on January 26? On the occasion of Republic Day, let us tell you the special reason related to this.
Special reason for implementing Indian Constitution
Actually, there is a special reason for choosing the date of January 26 for implementing the Constitution. Let us tell you that Independence Day was celebrated for the first time in the country on 26 January 1930. In fact, on December 31, 1929, a resolution was passed in the Lahore session of Congress under the chairmanship of Jawaharlal Nehru, in this resolution it was demanded that if the British Government did not give India the status of Dominion State by January 26, 1930, then the country would be given complete independence. Will be declared independent. After this, Independence Day was celebrated for the first time on 26 January 1930 and the tricolor was hoisted on the same day.
26th January was chosen as the date to make it memorable
Since then, the date of 26th January has become very special for Indians. Then when the country became independent on 15 August 1947, official Independence Day was celebrated on 15 August. But to make the date of 26th January memorable, the Constitution was implemented on 26th January. This is the reason that even after the Constitution was made on 26 November 1949, the country waited for a long time for 2 months and it was implemented on 26 January 1950.
President Dr. Rajendra Prasad announced
On 26 January 1950, the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad hoisted the flag with a 21-gun salute and declared India completely independent. Since then, every year this day is celebrated as Republic Day and the President of the country participates in the program and hoists the flag and then he is given a 21-gun salute.
