The main Features of Indian Constitution.

In this content we shall study about the striking features of Indian Constitution. Our Indian constitution was prepared by a constituent assembly, which was formed in 1946 with 389 elected members ( 1 candidate per 10 lakh population) headed by Sachidananda Sinha as an interim chairman and Dr. Rajendra Prasad as a permanent chairman of the constituent assembly. On 26th November 1949, our constitution was made ready and 26th January was chosen, an auspicious day celebrating independence day since 1930, to implement the Indian constitution. It took 2 years, 18 months and 11 days for its completion.

Our Indian constitution is the culmination of ideals of many countries like fundamental rights from USA, parliamentary system from Britain, emergency from Weimer republic(Germany), amendment from South Africa, etc. However, the constitution was made unanimously by the elected members they had some kinds of apprehensions about disadvantaged classes of the society, therefore their rights were placed in the constitution. Now lets start the features of Indian constitution.

The main features of Indian Constitution are given below.


1. Adult Suffrage. 

In India any person who have attained the age of 18 or 18+ are entitled to cast their votes irrespective of their different caste, colour, creed, religion, sex, birth place etc. Unlike some other countries India has one person, one vote and one value. The voting right for women were given since independence. The 61st constitutional amendment in 1988, lowered the age limit to 18 years from 21 years. 

2. Equality before Law. 

All are equal before the the, the word is well defined under the Article -14 of the Indian constitution, The term Liberty, Equality and Fraternity came from the French Revolution 1789.

3. Privileges for the post and Disadvantages. 

Since our Indian constitution empowers disadvantaged sections to bring them in the mainstream of development, the makers of the constitution gave special powers under the article 15(4) and article 16(4) for the reservation in public services to SC/St and OBC respectively.

4. Division of Power. 

There is a division of power between centre and states in such a way that neither centre nor states can interfere in each other jurisdictions. For smooth running of democracy subjects of jurisdictions are given in the 7th schedule of the Indian constitution. There are three subjects namely union list, state list and concurrent list.

5. Status of Hindi Language.

The language of Hindi for the union was adopted in 1965. Indian constitution of article 343 promote Hindi as it's maximum use. The 8th schedule of the Indian constitution has 22 official languages.
