Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the day when the Indian Constitution was brought into effect in 1950. And the emotions of patriotism are riding high on everyone right now. A little history here on the special day that is today: Though India got independence in 1947, we still didn't have a constitution in place and most of the Indian laws were taken and modified from the British laws, established in the Government of India Act 1935. Two weeks after the independence, a drafting committee was set with Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar as the chairman of the committee. It was on 26th January that the constitution was finally drafted. It only came into effect in 1950 though. So, to commemorate the patriotism in the hearts, celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Taapsee Pannu and more have taken to their Twitter handles to wish everyone on Republic Day.
