Note: The chapter ‘The Story of Indian Democracy’ of the pre-rationalised NCERT, the textbook of 2022, has been renamed ‘The Constitution and Social Change’ in the NCERT book (2025-26). The lines saying that the Constitution emerged from intense and open discussions within the Constituent Assembly, with the section on the Constituent Assembly debates, have been deleted from the NCERT book (2025-26), though the chapter is still there.
NCERT (2025-26): “You will realise that the Constitution has the capacity to help people because it is based on the basic norms of social justice. For instance, the Directive Principle on Village Panchayats was moved as an amendment in the Constituent Assembly by K. Santhanam. After forty odd years, it became a Constitutional imperative after the 73rd Amendment in 1992.…” NCERT (Pre-rationalised): “Democracy works at many levels. In this chapter we began with the vision of the Indian Constitution for this is the bedrock upon which democracy rests in India. Significantly, the Constitution emerged from intense and open discussions within the Constituent Assembly. Thus, its vision or ideological content as well as the process or procedure by which it was formed was democratic. The next section briefly looks at some of the debates.” |
