On January 26, 1950, the Constitution of India, drafted by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, came into force and replaced the Government of India Act, 1935, as the governing deed of the country, carrying out the transition towards becoming a sovereign democratic republic. The constitution was passed on November 26, 1949. However, because the Indian National Congress (INC) had passed a resolution in 1930, fixing January 26 as the Republic Day, the assembly, after passing the constitution, decided to wait till January 26, 1950, to bring it (the constitution) into force.
