Introduction

The foundation of India's democratic journey was laid with the enforcement of provisions related to citizenship and the establishment of the Election Commission on November 26, 1949. While the broader constitutional framework came into effect on January 26, 1950, the Election Commission, led by Sukumar Sen, an ICS officer, began its operations a day earlier on January 25, 1950. This marked the beginning of a robust electoral process that would shape the democratic landscape of the nation.
