ABSTRACT
Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar remains one of the chief architects of India's democracy. His role in the making of the 1950 Constitution confirms that it was Babasaheb, along with his like-minded colleagues in the Constituent Assembly, who played a critical role in shaping India's constitutional fabric. Given his involvement in the processes of constitutionalizing India even before he discharged his responsibility as a chairman of the Drafting Committee it can fairly be said that Ambedkar never compromised with his commitment to constitutional governance. Ambedkar remains one of the chief architects of India's democracy. His role in the making of the 1950 Constitution confirms that it was Babasaheb, along with his like-minded colleagues in the Constituent Assembly, who played a critical role in shaping India's constitutional fabric. Conceptually speaking, challenging the Gandhian espousal of 'societal morality', he was championing an effective politico-ideological design of democracy, tempered by constitutional morality.
