Constitutionalism and Nation-Making: A Historical Study of India’s Constituent Assembly

Abstract | The Indian Constitution, adopted in 1950, was more than just a legal document. It was a plan to build a new nation after years of colonial rule, communal tensions, and political divisions. This paper looks at the Constituent Assembly of India not just as a body that created laws, but also as a place where the idea of a united nation was shaped. It studies how constitutionalism—meaning a belief in rule of law, democracy, and rights—was understood and built into the Constitution by its makers. Using the Constituent Assembly Debates and the writings of scholars like Granville Austin and B. Shiva Rao, this paper argues that the Assembly helped make a common national identity. It also looks at key topics such as citizenship, federalism, minority rights, and social justice, and reviews how the Assembly tried to balance ideals with the real challenges of a diverse society. |
