The making of the Indian Constitution represents a transformative phase in India’s democratic evolution, reflecting the vision of its chief architect, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. Rooted in the long struggle for freedom, the Constitution embodied ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity, aiming to establish a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. Ambedkar’s commitment to social justice and the upliftment of the marginalized shaped the constitutional framework, ensuring equality before law, protection of fundamental rights, and safeguards for minorities. The Constituent Assembly debates and the drafting process under Ambedkar’s leadership reflected deep engagement with global democratic traditions while addressing India’s unique socio-political realities. The Constitution, adopted on 26 November 1949 and enforced on 26 January 1950, remains a living document, continually inspiring reforms and sustaining the democratic ethos of modern India.
