Considering we are all millennials, some of us might still not know the importance of Republic Day. So, for the uninitiated, after India gained its independence on August 15, 1947, we did not have a permanent constitution; instead, the laws were based on the modified colonial Government of India Act 1935. It was on August 28, 1947; the Drafting Committee was appointed to draft a permanent constitution with Dr B.R. Ambedkar as chairman.
Eventually, a draft constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Constituent Assembly on November 4, 1947. After many debates and a few modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English). Post that, the constitution of India came into effect on January 26. Here's wishing everyone a Happy Republic Day.
