1-minute Speech on Constitution of India
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, I stand before you all to speak on a very important topic, ‘The Constitution of India’. It is not merely a document but the backbone of our democratic nation, ensuring justice, equality, and liberty to every citizen.
The Constitution of India was drafted by a committee headed by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, who is rightfully known as the ‘Architect of Indian Constitution’. It was adopted on 26th November 1949, and came into effect on 26th January 1950, a day we celebrate as Republic Day. It is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, comprising 470 articles in 25 parts, 12 schedules and 5 appendices.
The Preamble, the introductory part of the Constitution, beautifully encapsulates its essence, declaring India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. The Constitution protects the rights of every Indian citizen through the Fundamental Rights and Duties. It upholds principles like the rule of law, independence of judiciary, and parliamentary system of government.
However, the true success of our Constitution lies in its flexibility. It is a living document and has been amended 104 times till date to meet the evolving needs of our society. Nevertheless, the basic structure and the core values it enshrines remain unchanged and continue to guide us.
To conclude, the Constitution of India is not just a legal document but a symbol of our national pride and identity. It is our duty to respect and uphold its values for a just and inclusive India.
Thank you!

2-minute Speech on Constitution of India
Ladies and Gentlemen,
It is a great honor for me to be able to present a speech today on an essential topic, the ‘Constitution of India’. The constitution, as we all know, is the guiding light, the highest law of the land, which upholds the democratic values of the country and ensures justice and equality for all its citizens.
The Constitution of India was adopted on 26th November 1949 and came into effect on 26th January 1950, marking the beginning of a new era in the history of India. This day is celebrated as Republic Day throughout the nation. The constitution was framed by the Constituent Assembly, comprising of representatives from all sections of society. Its drafting committee was chaired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who is fondly referred to as the ‘Father of the Indian Constitution’.
The Constitution of India is both flexible and rigid, catering to the needs of changing times while maintaining its core principles. Its Preamble, an introductory statement, lays out the philosophical foundation and mentions the ideals of justice, liberty, equality and fraternity. These ideals echo the vision of our founding fathers, their aspirations for a unified, just and progressive nation.
The Indian Constitution is known to be the longest written constitution in the world. It has a preamble, 470 articles grouped into 25 parts, 12 schedules, and 5 appendices. It has been amended 104 times since its inception, reflecting its responsiveness to changing societal needs and challenges. Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles of State Policy, and Fundamental Duties are the vital elements of the Constitution which balance the rights and duties of the citizens.
The Constitution provides us with six fundamental rights that include Right to Equality, Right to Freedom, Right against Exploitation, Right to Freedom of Religion, Cultural and Educational Rights and Right to Constitutional Remedies. These rights are the bedrock of Indian democracy, ensuring the dignity, freedom and well-being of every citizen.
The uniqueness of the Indian constitution lies in its feature of being a blend of flexibility and rigidity, unitary and federal features, parliamentary sovereignty and judicial supremacy. It lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishing the structure, procedures, powers, and duties of the government institutions and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens.
In closing, the Constitution of India is not just a document, but the manifestation of the dreams and aspirations of millions of Indians. It is a living document that guides the destiny of the country. As responsible citizens, it is our duty to understand the Constitution, respect its ideals, and strive to uphold its principles. For in doing so, we contribute towards building a just, equal, and vibrant democracy in the spirit of ‘We, the people of India’.
Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to speak about our Constitution. I hope everyone here now has a better understanding of the importance and the role of the Constitution in our lives. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the wisdom of the framers of our Constitution and the principles it stands for.
Jai Hind!
