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; and Republic Day
offers an opportunity to reflect on the many achievements of
the large Asian Indian community here in California.
3)Today, Republic Day is celebrated every year on January 26
with enthusiasm all over India 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
