Republic Day is just around the corner and we can’t wait to celebrate this momentous occasion with all the pomp and pageantry it deserves. The tunes of patriotic anthems and the tricolour of Indian flags envelop the entire nation on this significant day. The occasion commemorates the promulgation of the Indian Constitution on January 26, 1950. India was liberated from colonial rule in 1947, but it wasn’t until January 26, 1950, that the Indian Constitution came into force. India then became a sovereign state and declared itself a republic. Although this day is a national holiday, schools and universities often hold mock parades, patriotic film screenings, drawing competitions, essay contests and special assemblies in the days leading up to the event.
