Abstract
The 2024 general elections, revolved around the central theme of saving the constitution, Constitution. Around the world, the Constitution is frequently referred to as the Grundnorm. Not only is the Indian constitution regarded as such, but it has also come to have an emotional significance in addition to a legal-rational one. For the marginalised caste groups of our nation, the drafting of the constitution signalled the beginning of the end of India’s “untouchable” history, making it a crucial moment. It gave the marginalised people a glimmer of hope. As a result, the Indian Constitution is revered by the Dalit community, particularly the Buddhists of Maharashtra. Since the Constitution was drafted by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, their cultural affinity to him also extends to the Constitution. Incidents such as the outcry following the Pravin Tarde incident in Maharashtra demonstrate how it has become an integral part of the Dalit life-world. The Indian constitution and constitutional morality hold a special place in their hearts and sense of self-expression. Their emotional and identity assertion has become attached to it. This paper, thus, discusses how the Indian Constitution has come to acquire a pivotal place in the politics of emotions of the Dalit Buddhist community in Maharashtra, especially in the context of the 2024 general elections.
