New Delhi, Nov 26: Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended warm greetings to the nation on the occasion of Constitution Day, November 26, coinciding with the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Indian Constitution.
Prime Minister Modi will be participating in a special ceremony organised by the Supreme Court of India today at the Supreme Court. The event promises to be a significant moment of reflection on the Constitution’s journey over seven and a half decades.
Constitution Day is celebrated annually on November 26, that commemorates the day in 1949 when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India.
This year’s celebrations are special as it has been 75 years since its adoption. The constitution over the years has not only provided a framework for governance but also emerged as a symbol of India’s unity in diversity.
India’s constitution, which is both flexible and rigid, has changed with few amendments safeguarding the rights and freedoms of citizens.
The Indian Constitution has often taken centre stage in political discourse, particularly during election campaigns. In the last national elections early this year, nearly all political parties invoked constitutional values in their campaign to frame their narratives.
These debates highlight the Constitution’s dual role as a guidebook for governance and a document that reflects the evolving aspirations of Indian society.
