1.	How far is it true that the constitution of India is a borrowed document?
Answer» Many provisions in the Indian Constitution are taken from the constitutions of different countries however it will be unfair to say that it is a ‘borrowed document\' as the framers of our constitution have avoided the faults of other constitutions and at the same time have taken many provisions from them which suits the Indian requirements. As perfectly said by Dr. B.R Ambedkar while addressing the criticism of a borrowed document that “ The only new things, if there can be any, in a constitution framed so late in the day are the variations made to remove the faults and accomodate it to the needs of the country.”
