-The Constitution of India was drawn up by a Constituent Assembly. The Assembly met for the first time on December 9, 1946. It was not a truly representative body as its members were indirectly elected by those who were themselves elected on a narrow franchise.

-The Assembly constituted a Drafting Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar, to frame a constitution for India. Indian Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949 and it came into effect on January 26, 1950. It is the longest written Constitution in the world containing 395 Articles, 22 Parts and 12 Schedules.

-During 60 years of its existence, Indian Constitution has undergone several amendments and demand to review it completely has also been raised. But, inspite of all these changes, the 'basic structure' of the Indian Constitution remains intact.
