India got rid of all kings - British and Indian - on 26 January 1950. On August 15, 1947, India attained freedom with Dominion Status. There was still a Governor-General, Mountbatten himself. He was no longer a Viceroy. And, there were plenty of Indian kings. Under India’s constitution, all of those were replaced by elected officials - which is a republic.
To emphasize the removal of Indian kings, 26 January was not called Constitution Day - it was called Republic Day. In the Republic Day parade, the Armed Forces salute the elected Indian commander-in-chief. This is the visual representation of the republic.
India did not create the idea of a republic, as we had kings all along. Instead, we borrowedit, mainly from France and the US, which did not have kings. Germany had also lost its king after the Great War, which was later wrongly labelled as World War I.
I emphasize the word borrowed because it shows that the people who wrote out Constitution were not afraid to to get the best ideas from other countries. Today, some people call it “mental slavery” to the West. Me? I am happy that India does not have any more kings. If this is mental slavery, give me more of it.

Republic Day of India is celebrated annually on 26th of January since 1950. It is celebrated by the Indian people all over the India to honor and remember the date on which Indian Constitution came into force. The Constitution of India was adopted on 26th of November in 1949 by the Constituent Assembly. However, it came into effect on 26th of January in 1950. On the same date, the Government of India Act (1935) was replaced as the governing document of India. The Constitution of India came into force with a democratic government system. This date was chosen to adopt the Indian Constitution as Declaration of Indian Independence (means Purna Swaraj) was declared by the Indian National Congress in 1930. Republic Day is a national holiday in India which means a lot to the people of India.
