Question

One provision of our india constitution borrow from the british constitution

Answer 1

The Indian Constitution is unique in its contents and spirit. Alhough it had picked up many best features from other constitutions of the world. The constitution of India has several salient features that distinguish it from the constitutions of other countries.
Many people criticise that the Indian Constitution is a bag of borrowings or just a paper and scissor work.
It is true that it had borrowed some features but drafted according to the Historical perspective,Geographical diversity and Cultural and traditional characteristics of India.
The chairman of drafting committee Dr. Ambedkar had said in this regard that – “As to the accusation that the Draft Constitution has reproduced a good part of the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, I make no apologies. There is nothing to be ashamed of in borrowing. It involves no plagiarism. Nobody holds any patent rights in the fundamental ideas of a Constitution….”
