A new book highlights public participation in India's constitution-making process, presenting evidence of citizen engagement through letters, conferences, and resolutions sent to the Constituent Assembly. The research moves beyond traditional theories to reveal an untold story of public involvement, exemplified by demands from groups like the Adiwasi Gond Vidyarthi Mandal for educational facilities. However, the book's claims of constitution makers intentionally downplaying public effort and recent strains on the constitutional order since 2014 are presented as assertions lacking merit.
