Answer:
Had I been the teacher I would answer Rajat :
1. Indian Constitution is a blend of flexibility and rigidity . Hence, despite being fifty years old, it is not outdated as it has been amended a number of times whenever required to be modified from time to time.
2. The Constitution was framed by the Constitutent Assembly of an elected representatives from every section of society.
3. Though Constituent Assembly was dominated by the Congress which occupied 82% of the seats in Assembly but it has representation from every class, religion and communities , regions to accommodate all shades of opinion within it .
4. Though it is not possible to consult each and every individual in framing of the Constitution, hence, the provisions were made to elect representatives from every section to reflect the people from all these.
