The inaugural meeting of the “Constituent Assembly was held on December 6, 1946”. India's Constituent Assembly established a drafting committee on August 29, 1947, following the country's independence, and it submitted the Draft Constitution in February 1948. It was approved by the “Constituent Assembly on 26th November, 1949”, following significant debates and several changes. The end product was possibly the most complex Constitution ever created for a population with the widest range of languages, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. It would be improper to give all the credits to the constituent assembly for drafting such a huge document as they did not do it from the scrape.
On January 26, 1950, we adopted this exemplary Constitution. Barely did we know that in the upcoming years, our Constitution would sustain self-imposed injuries at the hands of none other than our entrusted officials, who facetiously had an obligation to validate and safeguard our Constitution.
This article focuses on the “constitutional amendments” that came into force which has done major anguish to our constitution. The U.S.A. Apex court, in the case of “Dred Scott v. Sanford ” gave the judgement that “slaves have no rights and were chattel”. This ruling, according to Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, was "self-imposed" in nature. This phrase has been cadged to set apart those amendments that have done major harm to our Constitution. In some instances, the catastrophes were somehow reinstated but it still left some irreversible cicatrices.
Due to limitation of words this article would only focus on few constitutional amendments.
