Republic Day
- Republic Day commemorates the adoption of the Constitution of India on 26th January 1950, and the country’s transition to a republic which came into effect on 26th January 1950.
- The constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly of India on 26th November 1949 and came into effect on 26th January 1950.
- The Constitution repealed the Indian Independence Act of 1947 and Government of India Act, 1935 when it became effective on 26th January 1950. India ceased to be a dominion of the British Crown and became a sovereign, democratic republic with a constitution.
- On Republic Day every year, the President of India, who is the head of state, ‘unfurls’ the tricolour, while on Independence Day (August 15), the Prime Minister, who heads the Union government, ‘hoists’ the national flag.
- While the two terms are often used interchangeably, these represent different techniques of presenting the tricolour.
