ABSTRACT
Each year on January 26 the Indian people celebrate their national holiday, Republic Day. On this day in 1950 India ceased to be a British dominion and ended its colonial dependence. Thirty-four years is a short time for a country whose history goes back thousands of years, but in these years some considerable positive changes have taken place in the country. India has made some major achievements in the political, economic, social, cultural, and other spheres.
