Constituent Assembly of India

Agenda

Deliberation upon the rights and duties of citizens and the administrative set- up in independent India.

Committee Location

Brief

Set in the late 1940s, The Constituent Assembly of India was the historic body entrusted with drafting the world's longest written constitution.

Chaired by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the Assembly wasn't just a legal drafting committee - but a platform that debated and drew from diverse ideologies and experiences which shaped the vision and values of modern India.

This simulation gives delegates a chance to step into the shoes of history's architects, revisit and reimagine the very basic principles of governance and the ideologies that shape society.

Armed with a passion for legalities, an astute understanding of Indian history and strong opinions that will influence the future of the nation, brace yourself to be a part of a simulation that drafts the most fascinating legal document in existence!

Asmita Padmanabhan
Director

Asmita Padmanabhan

To Asmita, the Indian Constitution is not just a legal document — in her words, it is one of the most fascinating reads ever written. She’s thrilled to moderate a committee that doesn’t just discuss interpretations of the Constitution with precedents, but one that attempts to dissect the fundamental ideologies, shape the aforementioned document, and thereby, the future of a nation. Outside committee, Asmita is a passionate freelance writer, a lover of temples, classical and film music, and an avid follower of film reviews and interviews (but never the films). She enjoys yapping about culture, politics, people, food, and coming up with marketing ideas for literally anything. Her friends define her by her love for good dosas, her bed, and the Indian Constitution. She has no complaints there. (She often forgets to mention she is a third-year B.Tech. IT student from SSN. When asked, she remarked, “It’s part time.”)
