INTRODUCTION

HISTORY OF REPUBLIC DAY Although India got independence on August 15, 1947, it did not yet have its constitution. Its laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act, The country was a Dominion, with George VI as head of State and Earl Mountbatten as Governor General. On August 29, 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent Constitution, with DR. AMBEDKAR as the Chairman. The Final Constitution of India came into force on January 26, 1950 and this day was the FIRST REPUBLIC DAY OF INDIA.

It is the longest and the most exhaustive Constitution of any independent nation in the world. The PREAMBLE of the constitution defines India as a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic. The PRESIDENT OF INDIA is the Head of State elected indirectly by an electoral college for a five-year term. The PRIME MINISTER is the Head of Government and exercises the most executive powers. CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

ON 26 JANUARY 1950 DR. RAJENDRA PRASAD was elected as the FIRST PRESIDENT OF INDIA. This was, infact, signing the Constitution on 26th January, to mark and respect the freedom fighters who wanted 26 January as India's initial INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Every year on 26 January, REPUBLIC DAY CELEBRATION takes place with enthusiasm all over the country and especially in the capital, DELHI The event begins with the PRIME MINISTER OF INDIA laying a wreath at the AMAR JAWAN JYOTI at INDIA GATE, commemorating all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country.
