Celebrated on January 26 every year, Republic Day represents the true spirit of independent India. On January 26, 1950, the Constitution of India came into effect after replacing the Government of India Act (1935). The day was chosen since it was also the anniversary of Purna Swaraj Day. On this day, the constitution gave Indians the power to govern themselves by choosing their own government.
