Understanding Constitution in Two Minutes


Our Constitution was drafted and enacted by the constituent assembly to cater the needs of all and to ensure fraternity and equality amongst us. Constitution of any country is the code for its legislative, judiciary and executives, the constitution of India is for all. It is so invincible that under Article 51(A) every citizen has to be on bound fundamental duty which is rarely seen in another country.

With 25 parts, 12 schedules and 448 articles, the Indian constitution is so unique and invincible that it distinctly defines the responsibility of legislative, judiciary and executives. Legislative has to make laws, executives has to execute and judiciary has to define and protect the execution of law and may I remind you all that responsibilities of these three cannot overlap each other. It has various characteristics which inter alia contains that it's drawn from different sources, the most lengthy written Constitution, it's a Federal Constitution with strong centre, it gives Parliamentary system of Government, and contains Unique combination of Rigidity and Flexibility, with Integrated and Independent Judiciary, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles of state policy, Secular state, Universal Adult Franchise, Special provisions for SC’s ST’s and Minorities, and Provisions for autonomous authorities.

Following the words of  Dr. Ambedkar that if we wish to preserve the Constitution in which our greatest leaders have sought to enshrine the principle of Government of the people, for the people and by the people, let us resolve not to be tardy in the recognition of the evils that lie across our path.
