START NEW. STOP OLD

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers and duties of government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles and the duties of citizens. It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world. B. R. Ambedkar, the chairman of the Drafting Committee, is widely considered to be its chief architect.

It imparts constitutional supremacy and not parliamentary supremacy, as it is not created by the Parliament but, by a constituent assembly, and adopted by its people, with a declaration in its preamble. Parliament cannot override the constitution.

It was adopted by the Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came into effect on 26 January 1950.

We came a long way; from 1950 to 2018.

Good Work! Let us be thankful to our Founding Mothers and Fathers.

Not only they got us the freedom, but also an excellent constitution.

Partition was the only mistake; but everything else had been great.

Once again, let us be grateful to our Freedom Fighters.

Now, it is our responsibility.

We cannot continue to say, "the system is broken." we need to fix it.

We cannot call back Mountbatten grandson to come and fix it.; we need to fix it.

The American President or the British Prime Minister are not going to fix our problems; we need to fix our problems.

If we don't fix it now, our future generations will fix it later.

Our future generations would not continue with the broken system. In fact, they will talk about our irresponsibility of continuing with the broken system. Let us fix it now.

Drafting a Constitution has always been the responsibility of the citizens; it is people responsibility.

Three hundred years ago, when they prepared the Constitution of the United States, they were not President or Senators. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin and others were ordinary citizens of 13 different states.

Even in our case, B.R. Ambedkar was not the Prime Minister or the Governor General or the Member of Parliament. 

So, it is people work. Drafting a Constitution is people work.
