Answer:
It is a fact that India emerged
as an independent country amidst heavy turmoil.
There were many challenges before the
Constitution makers
(i) The making of a Constitution
for a huge population with diversities was not an easy task.
(ii) People of India were emerging
from the status of a subject to that of citizens.
(iii)
Partition of India was a traumatic experience for the people of both India and
Pakistan. At least 10 lakh people were killed on both sides of the border in
partition related violence.
(iv) Another big problem was that the
British had left the rulers of the princely states to decide whether they wanted
to merge with India or with Pakistan or remain independent. The merger of those
princely states was a difficult and uncertain task.
(v) Unlike today, the future of
the nation did not look very secure. When the Constitution was being written,
it was a big responsibility to draft such a Constitution that determines the
relationship between its citizens and also a good relationship between the
people and the government. (5)
