ABOUT THE SEMINAR:
“History could not be any clearer: Rights given by fad and fashion are just as easily taken away. The Constitution matters”― A .E. Samaan
Constitutions guide nations from their past through their present to the future. This, in fact, is the spirit of constitutional transformation. Constitutional transformation urges people to change by comprehending the historical, social, and cultural transformations of the nation. Constitutional transformation is both a concept and a phenomenon. Broadly, it is understood as the conceptual shift in the way constitutions are perceived and applied.
- When at 70, only Constitutions, tortoises, and whales are dubbed “young.” Although similarly young, the Constitution of India has undergone incredible changes over its seven decades of existence. Starting with 395 Articles and 8 Schedules, the Constitution now stands colossal with over 450 Articles and 12 Schedules thanks to the 104 amendments.
- These amendments have changed the fabric of the nation for the good by re-imagining fundamental rights, federalism, democratic participation, and judicial review. Each transformative moment is a revolution in legislative process. Each transformation has the nation advancing towards the highest peaks of democracy.
- It is motivated by this supremeness of the Constitution of India that the School of Legal Studies in association with Jindal Global Law School, O.P. Jindal Global University is organizing this international seminar to revisit the constitutional transformations that have India coming-to-consciousness.
