Why was January 26 chosen as India's Republic Day? (The Indian Express)

While the Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949 by the Constituent Assembly, January 26, 1950 was chosen as the day it would come into effect.

Historian Mithi Mukherjee in India under the Shadows of Empire writes that the Poorna Swaraj declaration was a critical pivot point for India’s freedom struggle. With the British unable to follow through on even reasonable reforms, Indians supported increasingly “radical” goals – a fully independent republic being one of the first. Importantly, for both Bose and Nehru, attaining dominion status would make India party to colonial exploitation elsewhere in the British Empire, mainly Africa. In the Balfour Declaration of 1926, dominions were defined as “autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by a common allegiance to the Crown and freely associated as members of the British Commonwealth of Nations.” In 1926, countries like Canada, Australia and New Zealand were granted dominion status. This sent a wave of outrage and discontentment across the country. Mahatma Gandhi, at the time, felt that the country was “not yet ready” for his non-violent methods of protest.

They now have an opportunity to forge a new path ahead, not just for their strategic and economic interests, but as the voice of the Global South. Prime Minister Modi met Sisi on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in September 2015, and the Egyptian leader paid a State visit to India in September 2016. [Ukraine](https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/everyday-explainers/russia-invasion-ukraine-history-creation-explained-7791147/) war has impacted its supply of food — almost 80% of Egypt’s grain came from these two countries — and hit its foreign exchange reserves. The two leaders spoke by phone in April that year to discuss efforts to halt the spread of the virus, and again to exchange Eid-ul-Fitr greetings. Sisi expressed sympathy and solidarity with the Indian people and government during the deadly second wave in April-May 2021, and Egypt sent medical supplies to India. The two countries agreed that “concerted action is necessary to end cross-border terrorism”, Modi said. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was a close friend of President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and India and Egypt signed a friendship treaty in 1955. President Sisi was part of the coup d’état in which Morsi was ousted. In modern times, Mahatma Gandhi and the Egyptian revolutionary Saad Zaghloul shared common goals on independence from British colonial rule, and the two nations made a joint announcement of establishment of diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level three days after India became free. In 2014, then Field Marshal Sisi — a former military chief — contested elections against a lone opponent and won with 97 per cent votes in his favour. A military contingent from Egypt participated in the parade on Thursday.
