Cheat Sheet: Making of the Constitution | Indian Polity for UPSC CSE PDF Download

Introduction

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of the country. It was made by a group of people called the Constituent Assembly, who worked hard to create a set of rules to run the country after independence. The idea to make our own Constitution started in 1934, and after many discussions and meetings, it was finally completed in 1949. It came into force on 26th January 1950, the day we celebrate as Republic Day. This Constitution gives us rights, duties, and a system to govern our country.
