Question

Why has the Indian Constitution been amended so many times

Answer 1

There is always a criticism about the number of amendments. It is said that there have been far too many amendments to the Constitution of India.Amendments are not bad but On the face of it, the fact that one hundred one (101) amendments took place in sixty-seven years does seem to be somewhat odd.

But nothing is wrong with our Constitution, if we observe the List of amendments of the Constitution of India , We will see that many amendments are only clarifications, explanations, and minor modifications etc. of the original provisions. They are amendments only in the legal sense, but in matter of fact, they made no substantial difference to the provisions.
