As we all know our country got freedom on August 15, 1947, from the cruel British regime after facing more than two hundred years of slavery and exploitation.

This freedom didn’t come our way so easily. We got it because of the supreme sacrifice our people made during the Indian freedom movement.

Many freedom movements and freedom fighters made this happen and free us from the shackles of slavery.

People of our generation didn’t see the time when our country was a colony of Britishers, so most of us are not aware of the extent of cruelty and oppression Indians faced during the British Raj.

And finally, many years of freedom struggle resulted in our Independence on August 15, 1947. This freedom came through the Indian Independence Act 1947 of the “Parliament of the United Kingdom”, which made two separate nations India and Pakistan.

This act was passed in July 1947, under which India was separated into two parts and Pakistan was formed. At that time George VI was the head of state and Earl Mountbatten was the governor-general.

Republic Day History

Republic Day History

After receiving Independence there was the need for a proper and permanent constitution because even after independence, we were following the same British constitution that was the modified version of the (Colonial) Government of India Act 1935.

So a drafting committee was established under the chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar on August 29, 1947, to draft the permanent constitution for our country.

This was a 7 member committee, consisting of Alladi Krishnaswami Ayyar, N. Gopalaswami, K.M. Munshi, Mohammad Saadulla, B.L. Mitter, and D.P. Khaitan along with B.R. Ambedkar.

Dr. Ambedkar was invited by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, to serve as the first Law Minister of Independent India, as he had studied the constitution of over 60 countries and was a wise constitutional expert.

On November 4, 1947, the draft of the Constitution was submitted to the Constituent Assembly by the committee. The constitution did not come into effect so easily.

It took 166 days of assembly sessions which spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months, and 18 days before adopting the constitution on November 26, 1949. These assembly sessions were open to the public.

After various modifications, on January 24, 1950, the assembly comprising 308 members signed the two copies in English as well as Hindi.

On January 26, 1950, after two days of that, the constitution of Independent India came into effect. It took a total of Rs. 6.4 million to finish the process.

India was declared the Independent Republic and 26 January was declared as the Republic Day or Ganatantra Diwas of India. From that day onwards, we celebrate it every year on 26th Jan.

The constituent assembly became the Parliament of India under the provisions of the New Constitution.

Dr. Rajendra Prasad and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru were declared the President and the Prime minister of the Republic of India, respectively.

Doctor Bhimrao Ambedkar who played a crucial role in drafting our constitution throughout the whole process, is known as the Father of the Indian Constitution.

It is celebrated throughout the country with zeal and enthusiasm. The constitution of our country empowers every citizen of the country to live life on his own but under constitutional boundaries.

Our constitution has a great role in the integration of India, and it doesn’t differentiate among the citizens of this country.

Every citizen of India has equal rights and its constitution was made on the basis of non-discrimination and equality, irrespective of caste, creed, race, religion, and culture.

Our big country of various languages, religions, ethnicities, and its wide variety of different cultures are unified under one constitution.

Republic Day or Ganatantra Diwas is celebrated to give tribute to those who made our constitution, after a long process and ensure equal rights to every citizen.

The basis of our constitution is secularism and equality. It comprises powers, duties, fundamental rights, and directive principles of the Government of India and every Indian citizen.

The basic principle of the Constitution of India is “Janta ka, Janta Ke Dwara, Janta Ke Liye” which means “of the people, for the people or by the people”.
