One India –
Two Preambles for the Constitution of India?

Dr. D. Nagarathinam
Theni Kammavar Sangam College of Technology

Abstract

Almost in every Constitution there is a preamble, which provides the objectives, purposes, nature, scope of the Constitution, etc. The preamble of the Indian constitution is nothing but an introduction of the Indian constitution in short and therefore it is treated as a part of the Constitution.

The Constitution of India was finalized by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949 and came into force on January 26, 1950. The Indian Constitution is a very long and elaborate document. It originally contained 395 articles arranged in twenty-two parts and twelve schedules. Since then additions have been made by numerous amendments and some provisions have been repealed.

Keywords: Constitutional Day, Constitution of India, Preamble, B. R. Ambedkar, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Narendra Modi.

Introduction

The Government of India declared 26 November as “Constitution Day” (1, 2) on 19 November 2015 by a Gazette notification. The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi made the declaration on 11 October 2015 while laying the foundation stone of the B. R. Ambedkar Memorial in Mumbai. On 26th November 2017 a full page advertisement was published, which had an image of the Constitution's preamble with the following words:
