The idea for complete independence developed at the 1929 Lahore session of the Indian National Congress, and the Purna Swaraj declaration, or “Declaration of the Independence of India” was promulgated. Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the tricolor flag of India upon the banks of the Ravi in Lahore, which later became part of Pakistan. The Declaration of Independence was officially promulgated on 26 January 1930.

Congress observed 26 January as Independence Day between 1930 and 1946. 26 January is now celebrated as Republic Day of India every year.
