As per the Bharatiya tradition, the Constitution of Bharat also believes in change with continuity. It is flexible enough to change with the times while retaining the democratic character intact. Hence, refinement of the Constitution is possible as per the sentiments of the Constitution makers, even though it is considered as the continuation of the British administration in many ways. This was the collective sentiment during the conclave 'Indianness of the Indian Constitution', organised by Bharatiya Vichar Manch, Gujarat in collaboration with Organiser Weekly, on November 26, 2022, commemorating the Constitution Day.
At the Pool Side Lawns of Vadodara's iconic Lakshmi Vilas Palace, the theme of this conclave was 'To Reignite the Soul of Constituent Assembly Debate.' Appropriately, the Guest of Honour for the inaugural session was Shrimant Rajmata Shubhangini Raje Gaekwad of Baroda, the royal family that was instrumental in bringing Princely States on board to participate in the Constitution-making process. Presenting the keynote address, eminent thinker Dr. Mahesh Chandra Sharma, Editor of Manthan and President, Ekatma Manav Darshan Anusandhan Evam Vikas Pratishthan said, "This theme of the conclave looks a little surprising and complex. It may be true that the Constitution is largely seen as the continuation of the British administration, there is enough flexibility to refine it as per the wishes of the Constitution makers". He further added that even at the time of enactment of the Constitution in 1949, there was a sentiment in the Constituent Assembly that when it comes to such issues as Gram Swaraj, this Constitution is not Indian enough in spirit. The assurance was given by Pt Nehru that it would be revisited in the coming days. Fortunately, the Constitution is flexible enough so it can be refined as per the spirit of our freedom struggle.
