Why was 26 January chosen to enforce the Indian constitution?
Indian constitution was accepted on 26 November 1949 by the Constitutional Assembly and some provisions relating to citizenship, elections and temporary Parliament, etc were implemented with immediate effect from November 26th. That is why also Constitution Day is celebrated in India on 26th November. But the rest of the provisions of construction came into force on 26th January 1950.

26 January was celebrated as Independence Day in India every year from then until India became independent, but India got complete independence on 15 August 1947 and 15 August was celebrated as Independence Day. But the Indian did not want to forget 26th January too, so this day was selected to be announced as a republic and India celebrated his first Republic day on January 26th 1950.
