Introduction
On 26th January, we will
celebrate the 72nd Republic day. On this day Constitution of Inda
came into force after replacing the old prevailing Government of India Act (1935).
India became a fully sovereign republic from this day. Before that, India was an
autonomous Commonwealth country ruled by British monarchs.
The Indian Constituent Assembly
adopted the Constitution on 26th November 1949 and came into effect on 26th
January 1950.
Why on
26th January
The Constitution was implemented because, on
26 January 1929, Purna Swaraj (Declaration
of Indian independence ) was proclaimed.
Importance of the day
The
independence came through
the Indian Independence Act 1947(10& 11 Geo
6c 30 )-an Act of the Parliament
of the united kingdom.
When India became independent on
15th August 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with George VI as head of state
and Earl Mountbatten as Governor-General, India was governed by ‘Government of
India Act 1935’as there was no permanent constitution.
After independence on 15th August 1947, on 29th
August 1947, a resolution was moved for the appointment of a Drafting committee
to draft a permanent Constitution. Accordingly, a drafting committee was constituted
headed by Dr.B.R Ambedkar. The committee
prepared the ‘draft constitution’ and submitted it to the Constituent Assembly
on 4th November 1947.
After many discussions and some
modifications, the 308 members of the Constituent Assembly signed two handwritten
copies of the document( one in Hindi and another in English) on 24th January
1950. After two days,i.e., on 26th January, the Constitution came into effect
throughout the nation. However, it took two years, eleven months, and eighteen
days to adopt the Constitution.
Dr. Rajendraaa Prasad was appointed
as the first president of India, and the Constituent Assembly became the first
Parliament of India under the transitional provision of the Constitution.
