India’s Constitution has successfully withstood the test of time over the past 75 years, standing apart as a unique and enduring document while many countries that gained independence around the same time have rewritten or overhauled their constitutions. This was highlighted by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during a discussion in the Rajya Sabha on Monday, marking the 'Glorious Journey of 75 Years of the Constitution of India'.

Initiating the debate, Sitharaman paid tribute to the 389 members of the Constituent Assembly, including 15 women, who undertook the challenging task of drafting the Constitution during a period of great adversity. "The Constitution of India has stood the test of time. Today, we are extremely proud of the way India’s democracy is growing," she stated, as per PTI reports.
