India celebrated first independence india after the declaration of Purna Swaraj.
Once the declaration of Complete Independence was made, the date of 26th January was then unanimously decided as the Independence Day. Every year, the 26th of January was celebrated as Independence Day in India then onwards. From 1930 to 1946, the day was celebrated each year by the Congress members, freedom fighters and even the common man.
Once the Indian Independence Day was finalised on 15th August, the Congress then decided to instead mark 26th January as the Republic Day. The constitution of India was adopted on 26 November 1949 and for the interim 3 years, the earlier Independence Day was not celebrated. But once the constitution was adopted, the constitution finally came into effect on 26 January 1950, the date chosen to commemorate the Poorna Swaraj Independence movement.
