The Constitution of India came into force on
Answer: D
Correct answer: 26 January 1950
The Constitution came into force on 26 January 1950, which is celebrated as Republic Day. The date was chosen deliberately. On 26 January 1930 the Indian National Congress had declared Purna Swaraj, complete independence, at its Lahore session, and the anniversary had been observed as Independence Day through the years that followed. Bringing the Constitution into force on that day honoured it. Three dates are commonly confused. The Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution on 26 November 1949, now marked as Constitution Day. It came into force on 26 January 1950. And 15 August 1947 is Independence Day, when the country became a dominion under the Indian Independence Act while still governed by the Government of India Act 1935. It was on 26 January 1950 that India ceased to be a dominion and became a republic, with a President in place of the British monarch as head of state.
