Constitution Created with Holistic Thought – Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis

The Indian Constitution is one of the finest in the world. When India gained independence, it was divided into many princely states. Though culturally united, the nation lacked political unity. Hence, the Constitution was created with holistic thinking to bring everyone together. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar studied democratic systems across the world and developed a Constitution based on India’s enduring values, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said at the event.

The Constitution provides equal opportunities to all. No one can centralize constitutional power in India. Many landmark cases in the country have underlined the importance of the Constitution by defining the powers of the Parliament and the Judiciary. The book will help common citizens understand the Constitution and its values, he added.

He said that earlier he had attempted to write a book titled ‘How Should a Budget Be?’ in very simple language. Similarly, through this book, he has tried to convey that the Constitution is simple, not complex. He expressed happiness that the book is now available in printed form.

Book Should Be Translated into Other Languages – Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde

This book will certainly be useful in bringing constitutional knowledge to citizens in simple language. Based on a highly insightful speech, the book will help take the Constitution to all people in an easy and accessible manner. The Legislature has a glorious tradition that has been preserved for many years. Many countries have their own constitutions, but India’s Constitution is unique as it takes into account the holistic needs of society.
The book should be translated into other languages too, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said.

He added that Chief Minister Fadnavis understands the Constitution deeply and has the ability to present it in book form. His extensive study of various subjects is reflected in his works. Just like his informative book on the budget, the newly released book will serve as a guide for many. Students of political science, public leaders, and citizens must keep this book in their collection, he said.
