Assembling India's Constitution : A New Democratic History | By Ornit Shani & Rohit De | 2025 Edition | Penguin Publication ( English Medium ).

"Assembling India's Constitution: A New Democratic History" is a groundbreaking book that delves into the intricate process of drafting the Indian Constitution. Written by renowned scholars Ornit Shani and Rohit De, this 2025 edition published by Penguin Publication offers a fresh perspective on the making of one of the world's longest and most detailed constitutions. The book takes readers on a journey through the tumultuous period leading up to India's independence in 1947 and the subsequent task of framing a constitution that would lay down the foundations of a democratic nation. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Shani and De uncover the lesser-known stories behind the making of India's constitution, shedding light on the diverse voices and perspectives that shaped its final form. From debates over fundamental rights to discussions on federalism and minority rights, "Assembling India's Constitution" provides a comprehensive look at the challenges faced by the Constituent Assembly in reconciling competing interests and visions for the new nation. The authors also highlight the crucial role played by key figures such as B.R. Ambedkar, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Sardar Patel in steering the constitutional process towards its eventual completion. What sets this book apart is its focus on democracy as a lived experience rather than just a theoretical concept. By examining how various social groups, including women, Dalits, tribal communities, and religious minorities, engaged with the constitutional debates, Shani and De offer a nuanced understanding of democracy in practice. They also explore how these interactions continue to shape India's political landscape today. Whether you are a student of history, political science, or simply interested in understanding how nations are built from scratch, "Assembling India's Constitution" is an essential read. It challenges conventional narratives about India's constitutional history and invites readers to rethink their assumptions about democracy, representation, and citizenship. With its engaging narrative style, rich historical detail, and thought-provoking insights, this book is sure to captivate anyone interested in exploring the complexities of nation-building in post-colonial societies. Get your hands on "Assembling India's Constitution: A New Democratic History" today and embark on a fascinating journey through one of modern history's most significant moments."

In this paradigm-shifting history, two leading historians of India re-examine the making of the Indian constitution from the perspective of the country's people. In a departure from dominant approaches that foreground the framing of the text within the Constituent Assembly, Ornit Shani and Rohit De instead demonstrate how it was shaped by diverse publics across India and beyond. They reveal multiple, parallel constitution-making processes underway across the subcontinent, highlighting how individuals and groups transformed constitutionalism into a medium of struggle and a tool for transformation. De and Shani argue that the deep sense of ownership the public assumed over the constitution became pivotal to the formation, legitimacy and endurance of India's democracy against arduous challenges and many odds. In highlighting the Indian case as a model for thinking through constitution making in plural societies, this is a vital contribution to constitutional and democratic history.
