The Constitution of India is the longest written Constitution in the world. However, at the time of drafting, other constitutional structures are taken into consideration. The inclusion of these issues has enriched the Constitution of India and made it unique.

Many want to criticise the Constitution of India as a borrowed constitution. It is clear that some of the features of this Constitution, though taken from constitutions of other countries, were completely redesigned based on India’s history, geographical differences, cultural diversity, etc.

This was stated by Dr. BR Ambedkar, Chairman, Drafting Committee of the Constitution of India, “As to the accusation that the Draft Constitution has reproduced an excellent part of the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, I make no apologies. There is nothing to be ashamed of in borrowing. It involves no plagiarism. Nobody holds any patent rights in the fundamental ideas of a Constitution.”

Below are the features that are taken for the Constitution of India from the constitutions of different countries.
