AWAKENING YOUTH TO INDIA'S CONSTITUTIONAL ROOTS
Many people are surprised to learn that every part of our Constitution is beautifully illustrated. But these aren't just decorations—they are windows into our past. Back when the Constitution was being finalized, the leaders of our country reached out to Acharya Nandlal Bose at Shanti Niketan. Their idea was to create a document that wasn't just legal, but also alive with the history, culture, and spirit of India. The first page features the seal of Mohenjo-daro, connecting us to the ancient Indus Valley Civilization. Other pages show scenes from Nalanda Uni-dieval period—like Emperor Akbar's contributions to architecture, Chhatrapati Shivaji's valour, and the legacy of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. These illustrations aren't random. They are milestones in our journey as a nation. They show how India has grown over thousands of years—how we have changed, yet remained rooted in our core values.
