Borrowed Features in Indian Constitution
Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Telegram

While drafting the Indian Constitution, India has borrowed some of the best features from other constitutions of the world. The Constitution is a set of laws and rules that sets the Government of a state, and which defines and determines the relations between the different institutions and components of the government like executives, the legislature, the judiciary, the central and the local government. Indian Constitution is unique in its contents and spirit. Even though it had picked up many best features from other constitutions of the world. The constitution of India has several salient features that distinguish it from the constitutions of other countries.

Borrowed Features in Indian Constitution

The Indian Constitution came into existence on 24 November 1949. Dr. B. R. Ambedkar was the chairman of the drafting committee. The Constituent Assembly of 299 members drafted the constitution considering features of constitutions of the other countries as well as from the Government of India Act 1935. They are:

  • Federal Scheme
  • Office of governor
  • Judiciary
  • Public Service Commissions
  • Emergency provisions
  • Administrative details

 List of Borrowed Features

Dr. Ambedkar (Drafting committee Chairman) said this with regard to the borrowings of some features from other nations is:

“As to the accusation that the Draft Constitution has reproduced a good part of the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, I make no apologies. There is nothing to be ashamed of in borrowing. It involves no plagiarism. Nobody holds any patent rights in the fundamental ideas of a Constitution….”

Reasons to not call the Indian Constitution a bag of borrowing

Indian Constitution is a unique document drafted after a hard work of three years of the constituent assembly. Some features of the Indian constitution are borrowed from other nations, even though it is unique in its content and spirit.

  • The features are borrowed from other nations for the smooth governance of the state to suit its polity and governance. They are not exactly copied.
  • Indian Constitution is the most detailed constitution in the world. Indian Constitution originally consisted of 395 articles which have now increased to 448 articles.
  • The constitution is drafted by considering the historical perspective of Indian Nationalist struggles, the geographical diversity of India, and its traditional and characteristics which are totally different from any other nation.
