At this day, the Constitution of India came into force in 1950 however, was adopted on 26 November 1949 by the Constituent
Assembly. On 26 January, India was declared Purna Swaraj by the Indian National Congress in 1930 that’s why 26 January was
chosen to bring Indian Constitution into force. After its enforcement the Union of India officially became contemporary Republic
of India which had replaced the Government of India Act 1935 to fundamental governing document. Our country was declared a
sovereign, secular, socialist, and democratic republic by the Constitution. Our constitution assures the citizens of India about
justice, liberty, and equality among them.
Our Indian Constitution was drafted by the Constituent Assembly (389 members). It took around three years (actually two years,
eleven months and eighteen days) to be written. A Drafting Committee was set up by the Constituent Assembly on 29th of August
in 1947 to draft the Constitution under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Some important figures of the drafting committee
