Indian Republic Day is celebrated on January 26th every year to commemorate the day when the Constitution of India came into effect in 1950. It marks the transition of India from a British dominion to a sovereign democratic republic. This day holds immense significance as it symbolizes the power and strength of the Indian democracy.

The history of Indian Republic Day dates back to August 15, 1947, when India gained independence from British rule.

Ambedkar and his team after years of hard work and deliberation.
