PPT on republic Day

2. 26th JAN means to me a special day as it was this day where the
constitution of India came into force and India became a truly
sovereign country. On this day, India became a totally republican
unit. The country finally realized the dream of Mahatma Gandhi
and the numerous freedom fighters who, fought for and sacrificed
their lives for the Independence of their country . We also got
100% freedom from the Britishers. It is recognized as a national
holiday on 26th Jan. people celebrate different festivals as per
their religion such as Hindus celebrate Diwali; Muslims celebrate
Eid; Christians celebrate Christmas,etc. but Republic Day is
celebrated by all the religions and all the people. Thus ,26th Jan is
very meaningful to me. We got freedom because of “Mahatma
Gandhi”

3. Although India obtained its
independence on August 15, 1947,
it did not yet have a permanent
constitution; instead, its laws were
based on the modified colonial
Government of India Act 1935, and
the country was a Dominion, with
George VI as head of state and
Earl Mountbatten as Governor
General. On August 29, 1947, the
Drafting Committee was appointed
to draft a permanent constitution,
with Dr. Ambedkar as the
Chairman.

4. Constitution. After many deliberations and some
modifications, the 308 members of the Assembly signedtwo
hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and
English) on January24, 1950. Two days later, the Constitution
of India became the law of all theIndianlands. The
Constitution of India came into effect only on January 26,
1950. Following January 26, 1950, Rajendra Prasad was elected
as the president of India. This was, in fact, a deliberateact,
signing the constitutionon 26thJanuary, to markand respect
the freedomfighters who wanted 26 January as India's initial
independence day.

5. To mark the importance of this occasion, every year a grand
parade is held in the capital, New Delhi, from the Raisina
Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace), along
the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic Red Fort.

6. Every year a grand parade is held in the capital, from the Rajghat,
