The prime minister hoists the flag at Red Fort on Independence Day from the base of the pole. It represents India's liberation from colonial rule. The founding of an independent nation occurs on this day.
Republic Day, on the other hand, entails the President raising the flag, which is already at its highest point and has flowers attached to it. With this act, India celebrates its established freedom and the adoption of its Constitution, having previously achieved independence.
There is also a difference in the locations and what happens next. After the prime minister hoists the flag at Red Fort, there is a national address. On the other hand, a large procession is announced by the president's unveiling at Kartavya Path on Republic Day.
The official adoption of India's Constitution was scheduled for 1950; this date was selected to commemorate the 1930 demand for "Purna Swaraj," or total independence. On January 26, 1950, India attained official republic status. This day has been observed annually as Republic Day ever since.
