The year 2025 marks 75 years of the adoption of India’s Constitution. It is well known that the final draft of the Constitution was presented to the Constituent Assembly and approved on November 26, 1949. It was officially promulgated on January 26, 1950.
The Constitution has served our country effectively for the last 75 years. But the proof of the pudding is in its eating. While allegations and counter-allegations about who was the protector and who the detractor of the Constitution abound in a politically charged atmosphere, the country in general, and vulnerable sections of our national society, such as social and religious minorities and marginalised sections, view the Constitution as the guarantor of their rights and freedoms. Over the last seven decades, the Constitution has been successful in building the spirit of “One Nation - One People” in the country.
