Disadvantages of Indian Constitution
What are the drawbacks of the Indian Constitution?
Originally Answered: What is wrong with the Indian Constitution?
As they say, "Indian Constitution is written by the lawyers and for the lawyers". It's way too complex and a real nightmare for comman man.
It doesn't represent the will of people of India because constituent assembly was chosen by indirect elections and only around 10% people in Country had voting rights on the basis of Education, Wealth and taxes they were paying, who had elected the electoral college for Constituent Assembly members.
They spent too much time on it(2 years 11 months 18 days). US Constitution was created in around 4 months.
They(Constituent Assembly Members) were too lazy to change few things, which were directly copied from GoIA-1935 and were irrelevant at that time.
Article 370 was a big big failure.
Our Constitution makes our system Socialist and upto some extent tending towards Communism(Probably Domino Effect).
No substantial provision to encourage local languages or Hindi. There are articles like 343 or 351 but practically those have been useless.
We are not direct democracy like Switzerland and our Constitution gives immense rights and benefits to Politicians. You can see in current scenario to find out who are the most powerful and rich people and undoubtedly those are politicians.
Our Constitution has many unique and wonderful things too but as per question I tried to list down bad things about it.
