Values and
Philosophy of
Indian
Constitution
• Dream of Mahatma Gandhi- He was not a
member of the Constituent Assembly.
Years ago, he wrote in his magazine Young
India in 1931, that he wanted to be a part
of the making of Constitution
• This dream of an India that has eliminated
inequality was shared by Dr. Ambedkar,
who played a key role in the making of
the Constitution but he had a different
understanding of how inequalities could be
removed.
• Philosophy of our Constitution is seen in
our Preamble, the idea which we have
adopted from the USA
