9 Republic Day Songs To Uplift Your Spirit Of Patriotism

The day is here again, January 26. This might be just another day on the calendar for other nations, but for us Indians, this is one of the most celebrated and vital days we have; our Republic Day. This year, in 2022, we will celebrate our 73rd Republic Day. Although 72 years have passed, this day will never lose its speciality and the 'Indians' love in our hearts for it. In 1950, India adopted its Constitution, written by Dr B.R. Ambedkar, and became a republic. 

It is celebrated by the entire nation with special parades in Delhi, the capital of India, and in schools with children performing songs and gracious dances, symbolising India. 

The Constitution was accepted and ready to be implemented on November 26, 1949, but have you ever thought why it was implemented on January 26 instead?

Well, here is a little history about it.

Following the Indian independence struggle, India gained independence from the British Raj on August 15, 1947. The Indian Independence Act of 1947 (10 & 11 Geo 6 c 30) was an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament that partitioned British India into two new sovereign Dominions of the British Commonwealth (later Commonwealth of Nations). India became a constitutional monarchy on August 15, 1947, with George VI as head of state and Earl Mountbatten as governor-general. However, the country lacked a permanent constitution, and its laws were based on the colonial Government of India Act 1935, which had been changed. On August 29, 1947, a motion was introduced calling for the formation of a Drafting Committee to design a permanent constitution, with Dr B R Ambedkar as its head. While India'sIndia's Independence Day commemorates the country's independence from British rule, Republic Day commemorates the country's Constitution's entry into effect. The committee drafted a constitution and submitted it to the Constituent Assembly on November 4, 1947. Before adopting the Constitution, the Assembly met for 166 days in public sessions spanned over two years, 11 months, and 18 days. The 308 members signed two handwritten copies of the document (one in Hindi and one in English) on January 24, 1950, after much debate and some changes. Two days later, on the 26th of January, 1950, it went into force over the whole country. Dr Rajendra Prasad began his first tenure as President of the Indian Union. Under the new Constitution'sConstitution's transitional provisions, the Constituent Assembly became the Indian Parliament.
