is india a commonwealth country?

Question

which countries are the commonwealth listed country.

Answer 1

Yes India is a commonwealth country. The Commonwealth is an association of 53 independent states consulting and co-operating in the common interests of their peoples and in the promotion of international understanding and world peace. The Commonwealth’s 1.8 billion citizens, about 30 per cent of the world’s population, are drawn from the broadest range of faiths, races, cultures and traditions.

The association does not have a written constitution, but it does have a series of agreements setting out its beliefs and objectives. These Declarations or Statements were issued at various Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings. The first, fundamental statement of core beliefs is the Declaration of Commonwealth Principles which was issued at the 1971 summit in Singapore. Among other things, it stresses the need to foster international peace and security; democracy; liberty of the individual and equal rights for all; the importance of eradicating poverty, ignorance and disease; and it opposes all forms of racial discrimination.

Answer 2

Not really. At least not to the same extent that the British do, with the exception perhaps of Canada and Australia. In most other Commonwealth countries, it usually doesn't attract as much public attention, or is only celebrated in a very limited way anyway. And in one former Commonwealth country - Ireland - Poppy Day is actually viewed with (sometimes enormous) hostility, because it came to be associated SPECIFICALLY with the British Army, rather than a more general recognition of sacrifice in war. The reasons such an assocaition would attract hostility probably don't have to be explained, but that association was further exacerbated by the uber-enthusiastic embracing of 'poppy wearing' by Unionists in Northern Ireland. However, the 100,000+ Irishmen who fought in WW1 are instead remembered on the National Day of Commemoration, which was first incepted to honour the combatants in the Irish War of Independence, and takes place every July on the day the war ended.

Answer 3

Yes, it is a Commonwealth country. But, it does not owe allegiance, to the Queen of England, which is true to most of the Commonwealth countries. They have Governor General, owing their allegiance, to the English Monarch. After, 26th January 1950, when India, became Republic, we have a President, of India, who does not report to Monarch of England.
