WHEN IS CONSTITUTION DAY OF INDIA

 

Constitution Day, also known as Samvidhan Divas or National Law Day, is celebrated in India on November 26 every year.

 

Why is the Constitution Day celebrated?

 

On November 26, 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India formally adopted the Constitution of India. It came into force on January 26, 1950. Constitution Day aims to bring awareness about the importance of the Constitution and Dr B R Ambedkar.

 

Who started the Constitution Day?

 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi marked November 26 as the Constitution Day of India in 2015.

 

What is the Constitution of India?

 

The Constitution is a set of written principles and precedents of the Government of India. It frames fundamental political principles, procedures, rights, directive principles, restrictions and duties of the government and the citizens of the country. The Constitution of India declares the country a sovereign, secular, socialist and democratic republic. It assures its citizens equality, liberty and justice.

 

Who wrote the Constitution of India?

 

B R Ambedkar, chairman of the drafting committee, is considered to be the chief architect of the Constitution of India. He is also called the Father of the Indian Constitution. The Constitution of India was drafted by the members of the Constituent Assembly.

 

What is the preamble to the Constitution of India?

 

Preamble is a brief statement which records the aims and aspirations of the people of India. The preamble to the Constitution of India reads:

 

“We, the people of India, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic, republic, and to secure to all its citizens:

 

Justice, social, economic and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; equality of status and of opportunity, and to promote among them all — fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

 

In our Constituent Assembly this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do hereby adopt, enact and give to ourselves this constitution.”

 

How did Constitution of India come into being?

 

From 1947 to 1950, India continued to use the legislation implemented when it was a dominion of Britain. In the meantime, the Constituent Assembly drafted the Constitution of India, which would replace the Government of India Act, 1935, as the country's fundamental governing document. The Constitution was drawn from a number of sources, while India's needs and conditions were given paramount importance. B R Ambedkar studied the Constitutions of over 60 countries before drafting the Constitution of India.

 

A brief timeline: 

 

On December 6, 1949 the Constitution Assembly was formed and its first meeting was held on December 9. Rajendra Prasad was appointed its President and H C Mukherjee its vice-chairman. On August 29, 1947, the drafting committee appointed Ambedkar as its chairman and six other members — Munshi N Gopalaswami Ayyangar, Khaitan, Mitter, Muhammed Sadulla, Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer. The members of the Constituent Assembly signed two hand-written copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on January 24, 1950. On November 26, 1949, the Constitution of India was adopted by the Assembly. On January 26, 1950, the Constitution was enforced.

 

It took almost three years to write the constitution.

Quotes by BR Ambedkar

Law and order are the medicine of the body politic and when the body politic gets sick, medicine must be administered.

Democracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.

"However good a constitution may be, if those who are implementing it are not good, it will prove to be bad. However bad a constitution may be, if those implementing it are good, it will prove to be good"

"So long as you do not achieve social liberty, whatever freedom is provided by the law is of no avail to you"

Greetings & Messages

Freedom in mind, faith in words. Pride in our hearts and memories in our souls. Let’s salute the nation on Constitution Day 2020

Let every teacher teach the student how to love this nation, let every parent instill in his or her sons and daughters the beauty of our nation. Happy Constitution Day!

Justice, liberty, equality, fraternity. May our dream of a new tomorrow come true for us.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems! Happy Constitution Day.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF READING

 I’m an avid reader and I always have been. So when someone says to me, with a vaguely superior air (and this happens surprisingly often): “Oh, I don’t read fiction. I don’t have time for that. I’m too busy; I have more important things to do…”, well, this is how I feel:

I’m sorry…what did you just say?

Today’s post is my contribution to Tackle Your TBR Read-A-Thon , a super fun reading challenge hosted by Tressa’s Wishful Endings and Colorimetry. And, to my fellow Read-a-thon-ers, I’m pretty sure your reaction to a self-professed “non-reader” is about the same as mine.

I know. It’s barely comprehensible when someone says they don’t read, that they don’t have time for fiction.

Because you and I know the truth. We know there is nothing like it. It’s enriching, relaxing, entertaining, enlightening…so many things. And, here’s a little secret you can keep tucked inside your pocket, to use as ammo should the need ever arise: there are health benefits to reading.

Yep, true story.

Research has recently started unearthing bona fide health benefits to reading on a regular basis.

Besides being a published author, I’m also a family doctor. Helping people stay healthy is my day job. Of course I’m always recommending healthy behaviors like exercise and eating veggies, but I also frequently recommend reading. And here’s why:

READING REDUCES STRESS.

Reading has been shown to reduce stress by 68%. In a British study in 2009, reading was found to be a more effective de-stresser than going for a walk, listening to music, or having a cup of tea. One of the researchers was quoted as saying: “Losing yourself in a book is the ultimate relaxation.”

I can personally attest to this. In the middle of a pretty stressful phase of life–when I was a medical resident working 100-hour work weeks and doing regular stints in the hospital that stretched on for 36 hours at a time (yes, really)–I turned to reading for stress relief. That’s because when I was on call, in the middle of the night, if I got a chance to slip up to the call room to grab an hour or two of sleep, here’s what I found: I couldn’t fall asleep. My brain was still churning away like a Vitamix blender. So I started bringing a novel with me to the hospital. Even though I was so busy and had precious little time, if I crawled into the call bed and read just a few pages of a novel first, I’d be able to drop off to sleep without difficulty.

READING IMPROVES BRAIN FUNCTION.

Non-readers sometimes like to suggest that reading fiction, in particular, is a waste of time. The argument being: if you’re going to read, it should be something intellectual, something non-fiction at the very least, if you want to actually benefit from it. But the fact is, reading fiction provides a whole lot of cognitive benefit, and exercises completely different areas of your brain than non-fiction. There’s imagination, processing, emotional response, comprehension, association…it’s like giving your brain a workout. It also improves your vocabulary, and stimulates your creativity.

READING KEEPS YOUR BRAIN YOUNG.

Research has shown that creative and intellectual hobbies, like reading, slow down the cognitive decline that happens later in life. Adults who read books on a regular basis have a 32% slower rate of mental decline as they age than those who do not.

That’s a whole lot less “Now where did I leave my keys…”

READING IMPROVES YOUR SOCIAL SKILLS & EMPATHY.

Two studies published this summer showed that reading fiction exercises your empathy muscles. Researchers found that reading even a few pages can boost empathy, improve decision-making, and make you more comfortable with uncertainty. Here’s why this happens: when you read a story, you vicariously experience a character’s feelings, ideas, and thoughts. For your brain, it’s like experiencing a slice of another life.

In short, the hobby you use to escape real life may actually make you better at living it. Instead of being an anti-social habit, reading is an activity that enhances your social skills. Take that, judgy non-readers.

So there you go. Permission to read: granted. (I can write you a prescription if you need it.)

One last bit of good news: in the spirit of the Read-a-thon, I’m doing a giveaway of my debut novel A BEAUTIFUL HEIST (Agency of Burglary & Theft #1). I’m giving away one paperback copy to one lucky winner. Yay!
