Why a people’s charter and transformative constitution as the Constitution of India, must also remain, an enduring one.

The Enduring Constitution

Two recent books that talk about India’s Constitution as a people’s charter and its transformative character remind us why it remains an enduring document.In early April 1950, M.K. Nambiar sequestered himself at his office in Madras to prepare for the case of his lifetime. Books occupied every table and many volumes were stacked on the floor. The case involved A.K. Gopalan, a communist organiser, who had been jailed for making “violent” speeches. The provincial government slapped case after case against Gopalan to keep him in custody even though the Madras High Court had twice ordered his release. In March that year, the government detained Gopalan under the newly enacted Prevention Detention Act.

If Babasaheb Ambedkar was alive today, he would be shocked to the core to see how the Constitution he shaped is being trampled upon.

5. Parliament which acts like a rubber stamp passing laws without effective discussions.
6. Increased impunity for hate speech against minorities.
7. Election Commission not doing anything to control brazen communal propaganda in elections.

"The brief revolutionary, 'founding moment' of unity in spite of the caveats has endowed India with a foundational monument that has helped democracy to work for decades. It needs to be preserved!"

Examining the Making of the Constitution

At the dawn of independence, the liberal traditions that underpin a constitutional democracy were absent in India. How did the framers of the Constitution deal with this challenge? A few months after the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act and human rights activists demonstrated with a copy of the Constitution of India in their hands, it is important to return to the making of the text that Madhav Khosla calls “India’s founding moment”. The book cites the 1946-1949 Constituent Assembly debates at length in order to answer one question: how did the founding fathers of the world’s largest democracy “approach[ed] the missing foundations on which self-government was widely thought to be predicated?” (p. 3).
