India will celebrate its 73rd Republic Day on January 26. Republic Day marks the date on which the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950.
The Constitution, adopted in 1949, replaced the Government of India Act of 1935 as the country’s governing document. This marked India’s transformation into a republic. India had attained freedom from the British in 1947 after a long and difficult struggle.
Republic Day is celebrated every year with a grand parade in New Delhi which features the tableaux of India’s states. The event is telecast live.
After enjoying the parade, you can watch a movie dedicated to the country. Here is a list to pick from.
