Explanation

January 26 was chosen as the date to promulgate the Constitution because since 1930, this day had been celebrated as Independence Day (Purna Swaraj Day) by the Indian National Congress. The framers wanted to honor this symbolic connection to the independence movement. The date wasn't chosen due to British reluctance or auspicious considerations - it was a deliberate choice to link constitutional implementation with the freedom struggle.
