Today, India celebrates 75 years since the adoption of its Constitution, a milestone honouring the foundation of the nation’s democratic ethos. Narendra Modi’s decades-long commitment to constitutional ideals shines through, from his activism during the Emergency to his visionary initiatives as Prime Minister.

Modi’s commitment to the Constitution was evident during the tumultuous Emergency (1975–77). As a young activist, he worked covertly to expose the government’s undemocratic actions and constitutional violations. Using pamphlets and secret communications, he raised awareness and inspired resistance. These efforts during a dark chapter marked the start of his lifelong devotion to constitutional values.

In 1991, Narendra Modi further advanced his commitment to constitutional ideals through the Ekta Yatra, promoting the message "Ek Desh, Ek Samvidhan" (One Nation, One Constitution). As the chief coordinator of the Yatra led by BJP National President Murli Manohar Joshi from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, he successfully spread the message advocating the abrogation of Article 370, which granted special powers to Kashmir. The Yatra symbolised his belief in the unity and sovereignty enshrined in the Constitution.

Later on, during his tenure as Gujarat’s Chief Minister, Narendra Modi prioritised spreading awareness about the Constitution among ordinary citizens. One of his most notable initiatives was the Samvidhan Gaurav Yatra. In 2010, during the 60th anniversary of the Indian Constitution, CM Modi organised the Samvidhan Gaurav Yatra in Gujarat, a campaign to celebrate the Constitution and take its ideals to the masses. A grand procession was organised in Surendranagar of Gujarat, featuring a massive replica of the Constitution carried on an elephant. Chief Minister Narendra Modi walked alongside the elephant, joined by ministers, leaders, and thousands of people. It was a rare sight in the nation's history for a Chief Minister to lead such a Yatra, honouring the Constitution. It was a powerful visual representation of the reverence and importance Narendra Modi held for the Constitution.

In 2011, Narendra Modi took special efforts to make the Constitution accessible to all by launching its Gujarati version, 'Bharat Nu Samvidhan'. This initiative aimed to bring the Constitution closer to Gujarati citizens, ensuring its values resonated deeply with the regional population. Narendra Modi’s vision extended to translating the Constitution into all regional languages, reinforcing the idea that it belongs to every citizen.

After assuming the office of Prime Minister, in 2015, he declared November 26 as Constitution Day to commemorate the adoption of the Indian Constitution. Previously, the day was celebrated as National Law Day, mainly observed by only courts and bar associations. The declaration of Constitution Day marked the beginning of a nationwide celebration, ensuring that the significance of the Constitution was acknowledged annually with great pride and reverence.

It was his suggestion to name the old Parliament building as Samvidhan Bhawan. The Prime Minister’s efforts have also included showcasing the Constitution in the newly inaugurated Parliament building.

PM Modi’s gestures—bowing at the steps of Parliament in 2014, bowing before the Constitution in 2019, calling it a ‘holy text’ for governance, and his speeches emphasising its guiding principles—all serves as constant reminders of Constitution's significance in India's democratic framework. Moreover, under his leadership, several initiatives have emphasised the Constitution's role in governance. The abrogation of Article 370 in 2019 marked a pivotal moment, ensuring the complete application of the Indian Constitution in Jammu and Kashmir, integrating the region into the constitutional framework of India.

In July 2024, Narendra Modi government announced the observance of Samvidhan Hatya Diwas. This will be celebrated annually on June 25, and serve as a reminder of the Emergency period, a dark chapter in India's democratic history when constitutional principles were severely compromised.

Narendra Modi has consistently honoured the contributions of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the Constitution. His initiatives include developing the Panchteerth, a collection of five memorials associated with Dr. Ambedkar’s life and establishing the Dr. Ambedkar International Centre in Delhi as a hub for research on social justice and constitutional values.

On the 75th anniversary of the Constitution's adoption, the Modi government is striving to make it a people's movement with nationwide celebrations, reminding citizens that it is not just a document but the vision and foundation of a developed India.
