The Republic Day of India (Hindi: Gantantra Divas)
is a national holiday of India to mark the transition of India from a British Dominion to a republic on January 26, 1950. It is one of the three national holidays in India. This is not to be confused with the Independence Day on August 15th.
History
Although India obtained its independence on August 15, 1947, the Constitution of India came into effect only on January 26, 1950. During the transition period from 1947 to 1950, King George VI was the head of state. Lord Mountbatten and C. Rajagopalachari served as the Governors-General of India during this period. Following January 26, 1950, Rajendra Prasad was elected as the first president of India.
Celebrations
To mark the importance of this occasion, every year a grand parade is held in the capital, New Delhi, from the Raisina Hill near the Rashtrapati Bhavan (President's Palace), along the Rajpath, past India Gate and on to the historic Red Fort. The different regiments of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force march past in all their finery and official decorations. The President of India who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Armed Forces, takes the salute. The parade also includes vibrant displays and floats and traditionally ends with a flypast by Indian Air Force jets.
Celebrations, though on a much smaller scale, are also held in state capitals, where the governor of the state unfurls the national flag. If the Governer of the state is unwell, or is unavailable for some reason, the Chief Minister of the state assumes the honor of unfurling the National Flag of India.

Shame on you, Virender; you don't even know when your own country's Republic Day is? Its held on the 26th of January every year. All information regarding Republic Day of India have been given by Deity. So I don't need to write them over again.
Good job, Deity!

If you are an Indian and asking the question for fun then it's fine. And the answer is 26 th January, 1950. But if you are an Indian and you are serious about asking the question then I have only one thing to say, You are the worst Indian on the earth.
