Wish you all a Very Happy Republic Day

Btb, What is Republic Day and why we chose Jan 26th ?

On January 26, 1950, the people of India finally emerged from the shadow of monarchs, autocrats, tyrants, colonialists and took charge of their own destiny.

India was at last a Republic. India promulgated its constitution forming a Republic and Dr.Rajendra Prasad was sworn in as its first president.

January 26th was chosen, because back in 1929, In the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress, A resolution was adopted to fight for Poorna Swaraj - Total Independence. To commemmorate this day, the GOI chose Jan 26th to be the Republic Day of India.
