Constitution of India
India became independent of the British rule in August 1947, One of the most important tasks that the new nation had to take was to give itself a Constitution. It did so in 26 November 1949.
What is a Constitution?
A constitution is a set of rules by which the people of a country are governed. It says how the government should work and what its powers and duties are. And it guarantees or, promises the people important rights like justice and freedom. It also tells people what their rights are and what they can and cannot do. The constitution is higher than all other laws in the country. All laws passed by a country have to be in line with its constitution.
How was India's Constitution framed ? The Indian Constitution was framed or, put together by the Constituent Assembly of India. The Assembly had over 300 members, From the many communities of India. They included lawyers, Constitutional experts and leading politicians like; Jawarharlal Nehru [The first Prime Minister of India] and Dr. Rajendra Prasad [The first President of India]. The Constituent Assembly met 11 times, Over 165 days between 1946 and 1949. In August 1947, the Drafting Committee was set up, under Dr. B.R.Ambedkar. This Committee's job was to write the Constitution. On 26 November 1949, the final Draft of the Constitution was adopted by the Constituent Assembly.

Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?
I have always wondered who is the 'adhinayak' and 'bharat bhagya vidhata', whose praise we sing. I thought might be Motherland India!
Our current National Anthem 'Jana Gana Mana'is sung throughout the country.
Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.
To begin with, India 's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honor of King George V and the Queen of England when they visited India in 1919. To honor their visit Pandit Motilal Nehru had the five stanzas included , which are in praise of the King and Queen.(And most of us think it is in the praise of our great motherland!! !)
In the original Bengali verses only those provinces that were under British rule,i.e . Punjab, Sindh,Gujarat ,Maratha etc. were mentioned. None of the princely states were recognized which are integral parts of India now Kashmir, Rajasthan, Andhra, Mysore or Kerala.
Neither the Indian Ocean nor the Arabian Sea was included, since they were directly under Portuguese rule at that time. The Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka implies that King George V is the lord of the masses and Bharata Bhagya Vidhata is 'the bestower of good fortune'.
Following is a translation of the five stanzas that glorify the King.
