India became formally independent of the United Kingdom on August 15, 1947. However, the country remained a Commonwealth Realm, and continued in a personal union relationship with the the other countries who each regarded the same person as their Monarch and Head of State. The Monarch of India was represented by the Governor-General of India, appointed by the King, but now on the advice of the Prime Minister of India.

This was a temporary measure, however, as the continued existence of a shared King in the Indian political system was not considered appropriate for a truly sovereign nation. The first Governor-General of India, Lord Mountbatten, was also the last British Viceroy before Independence. He soon handed power over to Rajagopalachari, who became the first (and only) ethnically Indian Governor-General. In the meantime, the Constituent Assembly led by B. R. Ambedkar worked on drafting independent India's Constitution. The drafting was finished on 26 November 1949 and the Constitution was formally adopted on January 26, 1950—a date of symbolic importance as it was on January 26, 1930 that the Congress Party had first issued the call for complete independence from Britain. When the constitution took effect, the Governor-General and King were replaced by an elected president with Rajendra Prasad serving as the first President of India.

The move ended India's status as a Commonwealth Realm but the republic remained in the Commonwealth of Nations. Nehru argued that a nation should be allowed to stay in the Commonwealth simply by observing the British monarch as "Head of the Commonwealth" but not necessarily Head of State. This was a ground-breaking decision that would allow for many other republics to remain in the Commonwealth in future years.
