  How many know what exactly is 'Republic Day' celebrated for?
• 

  Sahithi Pallavi

  I know just a bit.
  
  Although the India gained its Independence on August 15, 1947 but the Constitution of India came into force only on January 26, 1950. We've adopted our constitution on that day. And then the India is changed from a British Dominion to a Republic.
  Hence, we celebrate the day that we've became a Republic.

  Let's dig a bit into the history. Why did India became the British Dominion?
• 

  Sahithi Pallavi

  What I know is it was all about Trade/Bussiness.
  
  British started the East India Company to be supplied with tea, spices and other goods. Eventually, it became almost an offshoot of the British government with its own troops to keep the supply lines secure. And this makes India became a dominion of the British Empire 😔
  
  We shouldn't have allowed them.
  Isn't it?

  ya agree with you sada
  I have some information why britishers came to india because before many centuries the trading was done on land that is from a place called constantinople. This area was occupied by the some empire so the land trading has become very difficult through land. So the people from different nations have started to india through sea route for the business.Portuguse were the first to reach the india and the person who reached was "Vasco da gama".After this many nations entered and started to take grip over india but there attempts became failure due to the entry of the britishers and they became successful and they occupied all over india and have ruled our india for an century
  
  
  This information is from my school histroy book.

  Because,first they entered to india for business.They impressed the local kings by some expensive gifts and then they started business with the kings.And the main reason for the business is the "PEPPER" which is very expensive at that times.

  it domination of British empire began in the 17th century i guess. n the fight for independence really started in 1857 from merut, u.p.
  @sada- why shouldn't we had allowed them??? we used to get a large revenue and trade off from them, since India was a milestone midway port for the east and the west to trade. but the problem was, India was divided into a large number of smaller reigns, which used to compete with each other for the the land and goods, which the Britisher's used as a weapon to dominate the Indian peninsular gradually.

  It didn't happen over a year. It was a systematic corrosion. There are several interesting facts which aren't described in text books. Because the text books & current Indian education system is actually introduced by the Britishers. The text books will actually never reveal India's glorious past; which has become my topic of interest these days.
  
  Why did India remained a dominion even after 'freedom'?

  Why should we? Don't we know how to make a business?
  And the allowing is still going on in all the fields.

  Yes. I do agree. But As per my knowledge, in those days our indians didn't needed any business tacticts. They used to depend on "Sharing system"(give and take policy). After British introduced the word "Business", our people corrupted in all the levels. I think that was the starting point of corruption in our country.
