This marked the inception of India as a democratic republic. India today is revered not just as the world’s largest democracy, but as a country governed by a set of forward-looking and equitable provisions enshrined in its Constitution. The Constitution Museum and The Rights and Freedoms Academy was set up on the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution.
