Sources of the Indian Constitution

Introduction

The Constitution of India, which came into force on 26 January 1950, is the lengthiest written constitution in the world. It did not emerge in a vacuum. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Constitution, and the members of the Constituent Assembly drew upon the constitutional frameworks of numerous countries, tailoring borrowed provisions to suit India’s unique socio-political context.
