**New Delhi, November 26** – India today commemorated Constitution Day, marking the anniversary of the adoption of its Constitution on November 26, 1949. While previously observed as National Law Day, the significance of this date is deeply rooted in India’s struggle for independence, tracing back to the Lahore Congress Session of 1930 where the demand for Purna Swaraj (complete self-rule) was made.
This year’s Constitution Day saw widespread celebrations and reflection on the fundamental principles enshrined within the document. Editorials highlighted the Constitution’s role as a reflection of the nation’s aspirations and its focus on Indian values. Citizens across the country shared messages of goodwill and celebrated the importance of this cornerstone of Indian democracy. The day serves as a reminder of the ongoing commitment to upholding the ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity enshrined within the Constitution.
