A republic is a nation that is not a monarchy (like the United States). In 1947, India became independent from the UK, but decided to keep the King of the UK as their monarch. This made the nation a monarchy. In 1950, the Government decided to become a republic (in other words, drop the Monarchy and become a nation without a king).
