Abstract

As the Constitution marks 75 years as the founding text of independent India, some have argued for it to be repudiated because of its ‘foreign’ influences. Tarun Khaitan discusses why such arguments do not work in the context of India’s Constitution, and provides an analytical reading of a recent hypothesis.
