Introduction

The Constitution of India is a very dynamic creation of our lawmakers. The Constitution of India as we all know is a supreme law of the country and every citizen of our country has to abide by the constitution.

The Lengthiest Constitution of the World

The Indian Constitution is one of the lengthiest constitutions in the world and it is also very detailed. There are 12 schedules and 448 articles in our Constitution. The Indian Constitution has incorporated various articles by taking inspiration from the various constitutions around the world. As we all know, India is a very diverse country and it was necessary to draft a long Constitution incorporating various provisions in order to accommodate various differences. The parent document for drafting the Indian Constitution was the Government of India Act 1935, and that document itself was very lengthy. The Constitution makers found it necessary to incorporate various provisions to provide special attention to States like Assam, Mizoram, and Nagaland. Various provisions were also incorporated to uplift the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
