The Constitution of India - 1st Edition
Dehradun: Survey of India Offices.

Photolithography edition of the original manuscript that was hand-calligraphed by Prem Behari Narain Raizada, illustrated by Nandalal Bose and other artists of Santiniketan, Viswabharati and signed by all the members of the Constituent Assembly.

The Constitution of India was inaugurated on January 26, 1950; one of the most amicable declarations of sovereignty the world had ever seen. Apart from declaring India as a sovereign democratic republic, the constitution also marked the beginning of one of the boldest political experiments of all time.

Original Presentation Card box of Constitution slightly discoloured but intact. Slip Cover largely intact. Butter paper covering the book beneath the slip cover is intact.
