This episode teaches about India’s independence and the Constitution that shaped India. We talk about the Indian Constitution, which is the longest and most amended in the world. Even though India became independent in 1947, it still followed British laws until 1950, when the Constitution was fully adopted. Further into the episode we also talk about how the Constitution was made, who helped write it, and the big debates that happened, like whether India’s government should be more like Gandhi’s village-based ideas or Nehru’s vision of modern cities. We learn about the role of Dr. Ambedkar, who is known father of the Indian Constitution, and how his ideas were different from Gandhi’s. In the episode, we explore how the Constitution has been changed many times since it was made, and why it is so different from the constitutions of other countries. The episode also talks about important topics like freedom of speech, property rights, and why India’s Constitution is still very important today.
