We All Celebrate 26 January But You Know What is the history of January 26?

On December 9, 1946 the Constituent Assembly met for the first time in the Constitution Hall of Parliament House, with the intention of putting together the document that would go on to form the backbone of the independent India’s government. Exuberant and full of hope, the 207 members out of 292 present in the first session started the debate and discussions which would continue for the next three months, culminating in the constitution of India.

The British government sent the Cabinet mission to India in 1946 to discuss with Indian leaders, the process for the peaceful transfer of power. As per the guidelines laid down by the mission, provincial legislative elections were held resulting in the nomination of 292 representatives who would go on to form the Constituent Assembly. Those elected included names like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Sarojini Naidu and Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru among others. The task at hand was humongous. Resolutions laid out had to take care of aspects like territorial integrity, socio-economic equality, justice of law and minority rights. Setting out the objectives for the Constituent Assembly, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said the following:

“The first task of this Assembly is to free India through a new constitution, to feed the starving people, and to clothe the naked masses, and to give every Indian the fullest opportunity to develop himself according to his capacity. This is certainly a great task.”
In the next 3 years, the Constituent Assembly held 11 sessions over 165 days. The draft constitution was approved on December 9, 1949. About a month later, on January 26, 1950 the Constitution of India came into force officially, making the newly born nation of India a modern republic.

The 67th Republic Day

Native indian obtained independence from British concept on 15 Aug 1947 following the Native indian independence activity recognized for mostly relaxing non-violent resistance and municipal disobedience led by Mahatma Gandhi. The independence came through the Native indian Independence Act 1947 , an Act of the Parliament of the United Empire that portioned British Native indian into the two new separate Dominions of the British Earth (later Earth of Nations): Native indian and Pakistan. Native indian obtained its independence on 15 Aug 1947 as a constitutional monarchy with Henry VI as head of state and the Earl Mountbatten as governor-general. The country, though, did not yet have a long lasting constitution; instead its laws and regulations were based on the customized northeastern Government of Native indian Act 1935. On 28 Aug 1947, the Creating Panel was hired to set up a long lasting structure, with Dr B R Ambedkar as chair. While India's Independence Day enjoys its independence from British Rule, the Republic Day enjoys of coming into force of its structure. A set up structure was prepared by the committee and presented to the Set up on 4 Nov 1947. The Set up met, in classes open to public, for 166 times, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 times before implementing the Constitution. After many deliberations and some variations, the 308 members of the Set up finalized two hand-written duplicates of the papers (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 Jan 1950. Two times later, it came into effect throughout the nation.
