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). Two days later on January 26, the constitution came into effect throughout the whole nation. Republic Day 2019: Try These Indian Nail Art Designs This 26th January That Are Beyond Creative.
