Question

When was the constitution of India adopted?

• A. 15 August, 1947
• B. 26 January, 1950
• C. 26 November, 1949
• D. 30 January, 1952

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Distinguish adopted vs enforced:
The Constituent Assembly formally adopted and signed the Constitution of India on 26 November 1949, which is why that date is now observed as 'Samvidhan Divas' (Constitution Day).

Step 2: The other key date:
The Constitution came into force/effect on 26 January 1950 (Republic Day) — a different event from adoption, chosen to coincide with the 1930 Purna Swaraj declaration.

Step 3: Why the others are wrong:
15 August 1947 is Independence Day, and 30 January 1952 has no constitutional significance (it marks Gandhi's assassination anniversary observed as Martyrs' Day, unrelated).

Step 4: Final Answer:
26 November, 1949 — the date of adoption, as the question specifically asks.
