Republic Day: Quotes, Speeches & Wishes

Words for the day India's Constitution took effect.

Republic Day is celebrated every January 26 to mark the day in 1950 when the Constitution of India came into force, replacing the Government of India Act as the country's governing document. The day is marked by a grand parade in New Delhi showcasing the country's military strength and cultural diversity. Find the right words in our Quotes collection or a ready address from our Speeches for school events.

January 26 was chosen deliberately, since the Indian National Congress had declared 'Purna Swaraj', or complete independence, on that same date back in 1930, two decades before the Constitution was adopted. Send Wishes to friends and family or post a Status update to mark the occasion.
