4.1. On 26 January 1950, the Constitution of India was adopted. The 'Constitution' replaced the 'Government of India Act(1935)' as the governing document of India. That is why we celebrate Jan 26 every year as our Republic Day. 26 January was selected because it was on this day in 1930 when the Declaration of Indian Independence (Purna Swaraj) was proclaimed.
