The Drafting of the Constitution of India

The Drafting  of the Constitution of India

 “Constitution is not a mere lawyers’ document, it is a vehicle of Life, and its spirit is always the spirit of Age.”- B.R. Ambedkar

The word “Constitution,” of French origin, generally refers to regulation and orders. The Constitution of any country is the fundamental law of the land, holding the highest authority and sanctity. It outlines the basic principles of the State, structures and processes of governance, and the fundamental rights of citizens, while also envisioning a path for national growth and development.

After India gained freedom, the Constitution makers dreamed of creating a viable governance model centered on the primacy of the people. The farsighted and visionary leadership of the Founding Fathers and Mothers bestowed the nation with an outstanding Constitution, serving as a beacon for over seven decades. The success of India’s democratic system is largely owed to the robust edifice and institutional framework laid down by the Constitution.
