‘Constitution remarkable homegrown product of self-governance’

First India Bureau Nagpur: The Constitution of India is a remarkable homegrown product of self-governance, dignity and independence and while some speak of it in entirely adulatory terms, many others are cynical about its success, Chief Justice of India D.Y. Chandrachud said on Saturday.

The CJI, who was speaking at the first convocation ceremony of the Maharashtra National Law University in Nagpur, said India’s colonial masters did not bestow the Constitution on us.

When the Constitution is viewed from the context in which it emerged, it is nothing short of remarkable, he asserted. While the Constitution has made tremendous strides, much work needs to be accomplished and the deep-rooted inequality that existed in the past persists even today, the CJI further said.

If young law students and graduates are guided by constitutional values then they would not fail, he added. Referring to the Preamble, he said it is a short but weighty party to Constitution and states that “We the people of India give to ourselves this Constitution”.

“This is immeasurably significant because it marks the transition of the people of India

from the status of subjects to the status of citizens. The colonial masters did not bestow the Constitution upon us as an act of grace.

Ours (Constitution) is a document that is homegrown… a product of self-governance, dignity and independence,” the CJI said.

“The success of our Constitution is generally viewed from two opposite ends of the spectrum. Some people speak of our Constitution in entirely adulatory terms, while others are cynical of the success of our Constitution. The reality is neither here nor there,” he said.

As a government document, the potential of the Constitution is “indeed informative”, the CJI said. “When the Constitution is viewed from the context in which it emerged, it is nothing short of remarkable,” the Chief Justice of India said, adding the Constitution has made tremendous strides towards a more just and democratic society.

“But much work remains to be accomplished till we rest. The deep-rooted inequality, which fractured our society at the time of Independence, persists even today. The best and surest way to make this inequality a distant dream of the past is to inculcate the spirit of constitutionalism in our society,” he opined.
