The comment that India imitated or borrowed its Constitution from other countries lacks the insight to identify the thoughtfulness and meticulousness that went into the drafting of that Constitution. The Indian Constitution does have selective salient features borrowed from other constitutions, but that was done with great pondering and contemplation, as these features could be further adapted easily into the Indian social and political milieu and domain.
1. Varied Sources of Inspiration: The Indian Constitution has been influenced by several sources including the British, American, Irish, Canadian, Australian, etc. For example, the concept of Fundamental Rights has obtained directly and indirectly from the U.S. Bill of Rights whereas the parliamentary system of government is a carbon copy of that of Britain.
2. Tailored to Indian Needs: Those borrowed features were not merely the copy words; rather, those were to be altered in the light of Indian needs. The makers of the Constitution under the Chairmanship of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar very cautiously deliberated and then made amendments in them to be relevant to India’s peculiar problems and aspirations.
3. Comprehensive and Original Framework: It is a broad document and contains the uniquity in the sense that, under the Constitution, provision for social justice, federalism, and the detailed Fundamental Duties list is relatively unique to India and nowhere else.
4. Innovative Provisions: It includes innovative provisions such as the Directive Principles of State Policy, which provide guidelines for the government to lay down the laws regarding the social and economic welfare of the people.
However, the Indian Constitution ventured only to draw from the earlier precedents. It was an original document, carved dethe only way possible to deal with the multiple and complicated needs of the country.
