Description
This book presents a comprehensive, though concise, story of the making of the Indian Constitution and the dynamic role played by Dr. B R Ambedkar in the making of India's constitution and demonstrates beyond doubt that he was in fact its Chief Architect.
Dr. Ambedkar and Indian Constitution are now two inter-related words in the legal world. Whenever the courts have to re-interpret any Article of the Constitution, they have to go to the origin of that Article, and the spirit behind it which the founding fathers had in mind. Thus no student of law can without proper understanding of the framing of the Constitution of India.
