The Chief Justice of India, Justice Sanjiv Khanna on Tuesday said that it was the Constitution of India that helped in the transformative journey of the country from widespread illiteracy, poverty and hunger to a mature, and vibrant democracy which is today a self-assured nation and a geo-political leader.
Describing the Constitution as a "way of life that has to be lived up to", the Chief Justice Khanna said, "India since independence has had a transformative journey from a nation - suffering the aftermath horrors of the partition, widespread illiteracy, poverty and hunger, lack of a robust system of democratic checks and balances resulting in self-doubt- has emerged today as a mature and vibrant democracy, a self-assured nation which is a geopolitical leader. But at the back of it is the Constitution of India, which has helped its transformation."
