SUMMARY: Proclaims January 26, 2015, as India Republic Day, and
would urge all Californians to join in celebrating India
Republic Day. Specifically, this resolution makes the following
legislative 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 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.
