Explanation:

It was on this day in 1930 that Purna Swaraj day was celebrated, following the resolution of the Lahore Session (December 1929) of the INC. When the constitution of India was born, it was considered necessary by the makers of the document to celebrate it on a day associated with national pride and the best choice available was that of “poorna swaraj” day- January 26.

Statement 1: This happened on 24th January 1950. Also, when independence was finally granted in 1947 however, the day set upon by the British was August 15. It is said that the Independence Day was so chosen to coincide with the second anniversary of the day when Japanese forces submitted to allied powers after the Second World War.
