Answer 1

Making of the constitution for huge and diverse country like India was not an easy affair because:

·         After gaining freedom, as an independent country, Indians was emerging from the status of subjects to citizens.

·         Independence of India was followed by partition over religious differences and large scale violence on both sides of the border.

·         The British had left the decision of accession to either India or Pakistan or remain as independent entities to the princely states and their joining the country was a difficult task.

·         India was a vast country with multiple regions, language, culture, customs and beliefs. This diversity was a hindrance in framing the constitution.
