What is Constitution?

The Living Soul of Indian Democracy.

The Constitution of India is not merely a compilation of legal provisions. It is a living document that reflects the aspirations, struggles, and dreams of a diverse civilisation. Spread across 448 Articles, 25 Parts, and 12 Schedules, and enriched through 106 Constitutional Amendments, including the historic constitutional provision for reservation of women in legislative bodies enacted in 2023, the Constitution lays the foundation of India’s parliamentary democracy.
