Why do we celebrate the Republic Day?

We know, we celebrate our Independence Day on 15th of August. India got independence on August 15, 1947 that's the independence day. It is celebrated to remind us the sacrifices made by our freedom fighters. 
It's okay but,

What about the Republic Day? 

Why do we celebrate the Republic day?

Many of us actually don't know the exact reason behind the Republic Day celebration.

Here is the answer:

• Our National Flag, which we unfurl on Republic Day, indicates our freedom.
• Republic Day honors the date on which the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950. 
• It replaced the Government of India Act 1935 and made India a sovereign republic and
• India resolved into a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. 

The word sovereign implies that India is neither a dependency nor a dominion of any other nation, but an independent country. 

January 26 was specifically chosen as 'the date of commencement' of Constitution because of its historical importance.

It was on this day, in 1930 that purn swaraj day was celebrated by Indian National Congress (a party before independence). 

On this occasion of Republic Day let's have some basic info and interesting facts about our Constitution.

• The Constitution of India is the lengthiest  of all the written Constitutions of the world.

• It has about 450 articles and 12 schedules, divided into 24 parts.

• It is drawn from various sources (Constitutions of Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Russia, France, United States of America, Japan and so on).

• Though the Indian Constitution is unique in its contents and spirit.

As being youth we only believe in truth that we are the force to change country’s fortune. 

But to change the fortune we must be aware of our past.

Thank you for your time.

Jai Hind!!!
