The Constitution We Adopted is a comprehensive exploration of the making, philosophy, and functioning of the Constitution of India. It traces the journey of India’s constitutional development—from colonial governance and freedom struggle to the drafting process in the Constituent Assembly—highlighting the debates, ideals, and compromises that shaped the final document.
The book explains the fundamental features of the Constitution such as federalism, separation of powers, fundamental rights, directive principles, and the role of the judiciary. It also reflects on the challenges of implementing constitutional principles in a diverse and democratic society, while analyzing how the Constitution has evolved through amendments and judicial interpretations.
Written in an accessible style, it appeals to students, scholars, lawyers, and citizens who wish to understand not only the text of the Constitution but also its living spirit. By bridging history, politics, and law, The Constitution We Adopted emphasizes why the Constitution remains the cornerstone of Indian democracy.
