Indian Constitution is portrayed differently by different writers. Some of them describe it a ‘bag of borrowings’. Others call it a ‘hotch potch’ constitution. Comparatively more pragmatic writers like Dr. M.P. Sharma hold, “It was not the purpose of our constitution makers to produce an original or unique constitution. What they wanted was good and a workable one”.

In fact the framers of the constitution had hoary past in view. India had been a plaything in the hands of foreign invaders. Independence had been obtained after trials and tribulations. Hence they were keen to see that history might not repeat itself. They wanted to gain from experience of others

They ransacked all important constitutions and adopted their admirable features. However they adapted those features according to the genius of their country. Though seemingly Constituent Assembly which enacted the constitution of the country was the source of the constitution yet there were other sources as well which helped evolving it suiting the genius of the country. When the Constituent Assembly framed the constitution, it had 395 articles.

Today, it is comprised of 443 articles. This clearly reflects that the constitution has been gradually modified in order to adapt itself to the political exigencies and the aspiration to effect social and economic amelioration of Indian society from time to time.
