This is the first edition of the The Constitution of India written by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar (Babasaheb Ambedkar) and published by Government of India in 1950. The book is a historically significant document that marks the culmination of years of intense debate, discussion, and deliberation among the members of the Constituent Assembly of India. It embodies the ideals and aspirations of the Indian people for a just and democratic society.

It is a comprehensive document that sets out the framework for the governance of the country. It outlines the fundamental principles and values that guide the functioning of the state, and it lays down the rights and responsibilities of citizens. The Constitution of India is a seminal document that reflects the hopes and aspirations of a newly independent nation. It has served as the bedrock of India's democracy for over seven decades and remains a testament to the wisdom and foresight of the framers of the Constitution.
