NRI Worldwide > The Two National Days of India

The Two National Days of India

It was the Lahore Session of the Indian National Congress at midnight of December 31, 1929 - January 1, 1930, that the Tri-Colour Flag was unfurled by the nationalists and a pledge taken that every year on January 26, "Independence Day" would be celebrated and that the people would unceasingly strive for the establishment of a Sovereign Democratic Republic of India.

The professed pledge was successfully redeemed on January 26, 1950, when the Constitution of India framed by the Constituent Assembly of India came into force, although Independence from British rule was won on August 15, 1947.

August 15 is celebrated as Independence Day, and January 26 as Republic Day.
