History Behind Republic Day<\/h2>\n

When India got Independence on 15<\/span>th<\/span> August 1947, it did not have a permanent constitution at that time. So, the first draft was passed to the National Assembly on 4<\/span>th<\/span> November 1947 by the draft committee and it got signed by the National Assembly on 24th January 1950 for the two versions of the constitution, namely Hindi and English. And it came into effect on 26<\/span>th<\/span> January 1950. Indian constitution gave the power to citizens to govern themselves by giving them the right to choose their own government.<\/span><\/p>\n
