After
the independence movement and the post- independence troubles of partition, it
was time for India to build a nation where people remain in power, where the
government is run by the people and for the people. It was also necessary for
the political leaders to ensure that the basic principles of democracy are not
compromised either by the present government or by the governments that came in
future. It was the time for the birth of the soul of Indian democracy in the
name of the Indian Constitution.
1949
saw the nationalization of Reserve Bank of India, an important player in India’s
financial matters. Tripura became a part of the Indian State and India became a
part of the Commonwealth of Nation in the same. Apart from this, a big leap was
taken forward by the birth of the Constitution of India. The Indian Constitution
was adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly, an indirectly elected
constituent body meant to draft the Constitution of India, on 26th November,
1949. Two months later, on 26th January, 1950, the constitution came
to force replacing the Government of India Act, 1935 as the governing document
of the Indian Territory. In the same year, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the iron
man of India, died on 15th December, 1950

Constitution
The
Indian Constitution forms the bases of the Republic of India. The constitution
came to force on 26th January, 1950 as a remembrance to the Purna
Swaraj Declaration of 1930. The constitution of India was drafted by a
constituent assembly composed of the prominent men in the Indian Independence
Struggle. It represented every part of
the country and every section of the Indian Society, a step which was important
to draft the constitution in awareness of the ground realities.
With
the coming of Indian Constitution, Dr. Rajendra Prasad became the first
president of India and Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru the first Prime Minister.
