As we know, Independence day is celebrated to commemorating the nation’s independence from the British rule on 15 August 1947. Republic Day is celebrated because the constitution of India was enacted on this day in 1950 and subsequently Government of India Act 1935 was replaced.
Did you know that the constitution of India was drafted on November 26, 1947 but it came into effect on 26th January 1950 with the formation of a democratic system? In the year 1929, during the lahore session in December Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru was elected as president and congress finally voted for Purna Swaraj (complete independence) and it was proposed that the last Sunday of January 1930 would be celebrated as Independence day which fell on 26. On that day Pt. Nehru hoisted the Tricolour at bank of Ravi river at Lahore and we celebrated our first Independence day but the Britishers were still around and it wasn’t a complete independence.

He was especially chosen for this occasion because India is celebrating the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi who had very close association with the people of South Africa. Moreover, both India and South Africa are the part of Non Aligned Movement in which newly independent countries united in a common struggle against colonialism, discrimination etc.
