 THE MAKING OF THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION

- Poetry by Sarah Khan

आओ सुनाऊं भारत के संविधान की कहानी 

उसकी रचना का इतिहास, स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों की क़ुर्बानी


So the Constitution's tale starts with the establishment of an Act

Fighting for freedom when leaders were creating an impact


. In 1919, the Government of India Act was passed

Quasi federal and bi cameral structure was adopted as asked


. In 1922, Annie Besant's general Assembly agreed for Constitution's drafting

Indian Commonwealth Bill was presented in 1925 for reforms to be lasting


On 1930, took place the 1st round table conference

In which Dr Ambedkar demanded separate electorates for oppressed castes in existen


इस बीच हो रहे थे हमले, चल रहे थे आंदोलन 

संघर्ष में बन गया था जन एकता का बंधन 


. In 1935, the governance power was divided into federal list

A provincial and a concurrent list were the gist 


. In 1934, MN Roy put forward the idea of a constitutional assembly

In 1938, Jawaharlal Nehru demanded it to consist of Indians only 


Then constituent assembly served as the 1st parliament

On 9 Dec, 1946 in Delhi, it formed its firmament


The Constituent Assembly was formed based on the cabinet mission

Constitutional reforms had to be in the discussion


.. बाबा साहेब अम्बेडकर के साथ मिल गये जब सारे विद्वान (vidvaan) 

कई वर्षों के संघर्ष से बना देश का संविधान


On 11 dec, 1946, HC Mukherjee became the Vice President

And BN Rao was constitutional advisor at this advent


On 26 Nov, 1949, the Assembly approved the Constitution

This remarkable day led to the moment of revolution


Dr Rajendra Prasad had been the Chairman of the Assembly 

And Dr Sachidanand Sinha became the first president intently 


Dr BR Ambedkar was appointed as the head of the Drafting committee

He led the team without the presence of any hostility 


. 15 अगस्त 1947 (sentalis) मैं ये देश हुआ आज़ाद

सबको आशा थी कि अब भारत रहे आबाद 


The 1st speaker of Independent India was GV Malvankar 

The team was ready for the best than any one could offer 


Then came the day title "sovereign republic" was opted 

26 jan, 1950 when our Constitution was adopted


. The Indian Constitution is based upon 1 nation, 1 citizenship

All Indians are citizens regardless of the state they trip


The Constitution has a strong unitary bias and a federal system

The Central government is supposed to have more power and wisdom 


. हर किसी को हक दिलाया है इस संविधान ने

कोई ना अपराध करे जाति के अभिमान में

 

The integral part of Constitution are fundamental duties and rights

And values of secularism to take India to heights


The Indian Constitution is considered the lengthiest in the globe

The mentioned rights and duties give us the required hope 


Women like Amrit Kaur, Begum Rasul and Leela Ray contributed to the Constitution

Ammu Swaminathan, Hansa Mehta and G Durgabai also helped in execution


On 26 January 1950 when we became the Indian republic

Shouts of joy could be heard loud in the public 


ये थी भारत के संविधान की कहानी 

उसकी रचना का इतिहास, स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों की क़ुर्बानी
