Explanation

The Constituent Assembly of India formally adopted 'Jana Gana Mana' as the National Anthem on 24th January 1950, just two days before India became a Republic (26th January 1950). January 26th is Republic Day commemorating the Constitution's adoption, not the National Anthem. The Anthem was adopted a few days earlier to finalize all national symbols before the Republic was proclaimed.
