ACR 85 (Mendoza) - As Amended: January 13, 2012
(As proposed to be amended)
SUBJECT : India Republic Day.
SUMMARY : Proclaims January 26, 2012, as India Republic Day and
urges all Californians to join in celebrating India Republic
Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
findings:
1) Although India obtained its independence from British
rule on August 15, 1947, a permanent constitution was
adopted after many deliberations which spread over two
years, 11 months, and 18 days; and the Constitution of
India became the law of all the Indian lands on January 26,
1950.
2) Achievements by Asian Indians in America and California
include contributions to all facets of our community,
including our culture and society through their
achievements in food, medicine, business, and technology.
3) Today, Republic Day is celebrated every year on January
26 with enthusiasm all over the country and begins with a
solemn reminder of the sacrifice of the martyrs who died
for the country and with awards of medals for bravery and
valor.
FISCAL EFFECT : None.
COMMENTS : The committee recommends the measure be adopted with
the following amendments to add a joint author and make
technical corrections:
