The drafting committee for the Constitution of India was chaired

by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. He played a pivotal role in shaping the


Indian Constitution and is often referred to as the "Father of the
Indian Constitution." Dr. Ambedkar was a prominent leader in
the Indian independence movement and a champion for the
rights of marginalized communities. Under his leadership, the
drafting committee worked extensively to create a document that
would serve as the guiding framework for India's democracy.
The Preamble to the Constitution of India is an introductory statement that
sets out the guiding principles and objectives of the Constitution. It reads:

"We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into
a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic and to secure to all its
citizens:

 Justice, social, economic and political;


 Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
 Equality of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all
 Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and
integrity of the nation; In our constituent assembly, this twenty-sixth
day of November, 1949, do hereby adopt, enact, and give to
ourselves this constitution."

January 26, 1950, is a milestone in India's history, representing the


culmination of the country's journey towards independence and
self-governance. On this day, the Constitution of India,
meticulously crafted by the Constituent Assembly, came into
effect, officially establishing India as a sovereign republic. It
signified the fulfillment of the aspirations of millions who fought
tirelessly for freedom from British colonial rule. The Constitution
of India, enacted on January 26, 1950, is a cornerstone of the
nation's democracy, guaranteeing fundamental rights and
promoting principles of equality, justice, and secularism. It
serves as a resilient framework for governance, embodying the
collective aspirations of a diverse society while fostering unity

and inclusivity.
