Indian Constitution Drafting Committee

The Indian Constitution Drafting Committee was a group of experts formed in 1947 to prepare the country's Constitution after gaining independence. Led by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the committee examined existing legal frameworks, debated principles of governance, rights, and duties, and drafted the document that would serve as the blueprint for India's democracy. Their work involved balancing diverse regional, cultural, and social interests to create a unified and inclusive set of national laws. The committee's efforts resulted in the adoption of the Indian Constitution in 1950, establishing the legal foundation for India’s federal structure, rights, and governance.
