Abstract

Constitution of India is a living document, it has changed a lot from what was its original manifestation. India, the world’s largest democracy, boasts the world’s lengthiest constitution, from Shankari prasad to Keshav Nanda Bharti and Coelho’s case has changed the structure and context of India’s grandmom that is the Indian Constitution.

An Indian leader of the Communist movement named M.N. Roy originally planted the idea for the creation of a Constituent Assembly in 1934. Following this, the Indian National Congress seized the spotlight in 1935 with its call for the creation of a Constituent Assembly to write the Constitution of India. Even though the British Government agreed to this demand in 1940, the draught proposal that the Government delivered to India with Sir Stafford Cripps was not well received by the Muslim League. Finally, it was the Cabinet Mission that proposed the idea of the Constituent Assembly, commencing the process of drafting the Indian Constitution and making history in the process. with 448 Articles divided into 25 Parts and 12 Schedules, and it breathes the air of sovereignty.

The Assembly spent the years 1946 to 1950 drafting the supreme law of democratic India, which was finally approved on November 26, 1949, taking effect on January 26, 1950, which has since become India’s Republic Day. To construct the Indian Constitution, the Constituent Assembly had precisely two years, eleven months, and seventeen days to do so. The Assembly met for eleven sessions for a total of 165 days during this time, 114 of which were devoted to debating the draught constitution.

 This article seeks to shed light on all the noteworthy occasions that preceded the formulation of the Indian Constitution, which is regarded as the mother of all Indian laws.
