Can it be authentically asserted that the Constitution of India is successful and effective?​

Answer»

Addressing the students on the Republic Day, Visva-Bharati University Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty said that the Preamble to the Indian Constitution is changeable. Chakrabarty made the COMMENT while criticising the act of reading of the Preamble by those opposing the Citizenship Amendment Act. He also CLAIMED that the Constitution was drafted by “minority” votes.

Vice-Chancellor Chakrabarty’s observations are historically and legally false. The Constitution was ADOPTED unanimously, and signed by all the members of the Constituent Assembly, except for ONE. The Supreme Court of India has declared the Preamble to be a part of the basic STRUCTURE of the Constitution, which means that it cannot be amended.
