In India, Republic Day is a national holiday commemorating the January 26, 1950, adoption of the Indian Constitution. On Sunday, January 26, 2025, India will celebrate its 76th Republic Day with the theme “Swarnim Bharat: Virasat aur Vikas” (Golden India: Legacy and Progress), which will emphasise the country’s rich cultural heritage and aspirations for a better future.
As India ratified its constitution and became a sovereign republic after being a British colony, the day represents an important turning point in the country’s history.
