Debate about: India should have been a Constitutional monarchy, instead of a Democracy, after the British rule ended in 1947.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
On January 26, India celebrated Republic Day, which commemorates the adoption of its constitution in 1950. This constitution, still in force, established a parliamentary model with a figurehead president. Republic Day is always a major celebration in India, featuring invited heads of state such as Barack Obama (and this year François Hollande), because it commemorates the end of India’s status as a dominion under the rule of the British monarch.Canada and Australia are Commonwealth realms, still ruled by the same person who serves as the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland today; this was the case in India between 1947 and 1950. Neighboring Pakistan only became a republic in 1956, so thus Queen Elizabeth II was, for a time, the Queen of Pakistan. Imagine that!
