In un sistema come quello Indian evolves with a rush towards modernity, and the fundamental laws of the state of democracy are the elements that provide a quick path towards a positive though not complete social and economic integration.
Every year, January 26, the Indians sit in front of the TV and watch the grand celebration of Republic Day parade, a witness to the unity of the country.
But nestled in the substrate of the various sub-regional and regional identities, languages, castes and religions, the barriers that people erect between them still reduce the 'unity in diversity "or create, in the opinion of many, the conditions to lead the nation to integrate increasingly international in the large?
This year, with the celebration of the 60th anniversary of the entry into force of the Constitution is even more alive the debate moved from the need to feel truly Republic.
The Constitution of the Indian Union was initially drafted by a Constituent Assembly elected in 1943 limited and indirect for all domains Indians of the British crown, but then effectively made operational only for the Indian Union since independence occurred August 15, 1947.
On 29 August 1947, the Assembly appointed a Drafting Committee under the chairmanship of Dr. Ambedkar and approved November 26, 1949 the new Constitution which came into force on January 26, 1950. In the scenario of constitutionalism
Asia, the use of a Constituent Assembly for the drafting of a Constitution is, even today, more the exception than the rule.
Inspired by European models such as the Government of India in 1935 - law passed by the British Parliament - and the Irish Constitution, it entrusts the executive, legislative and judiciary is central to the state that the individual federal states, while keeping in-chief to the central government , by the Supreme Court the power to annul acts of the legislative and executive authority of individual member states, giving in this way is for the unit.
entry into force of the Constitution consisted of 345 products. Subsequent amendments have expanded the content bringing it to the current 395 items. In the architecture
constitutional designed for the "largest democracy in the world" by the founding fathers, the role of law clothed, and plays a key requirement for the success of this project. But the laws are not carved in stone: they can, must change to reflect the changing times and new realities.
And, indeed, the past 60 years have seen the Indian law to adapt to changes in the course, through the entry into force of the Act defines "milestones" for the nation such as agrarian reform, social reform towards the Scheduled Castes (so-called untouchables) and Scheduled Tribes, the redrawing of the political map with the creation of the state of Andhra Pradesh in 1956, of Maharastra in 1960, until the next new federal state of Telangana The reform of customs Hindu (The Hindu Marriage Act in 1955, abolished polygamy and introduced the concept of divorce), special laws for Muslims, ending with the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act of 2005 which laid the basis for more ambitious action welfare of the entire history of the Indian republic.
However, even today, the major newspapers of the country is wondering about what the public perception celebration of Republic Day, considered the poor cousin of August 15 (indipedente Day) for a large majority the Republic Day, as Independence Day, they are simply working days of vacation.
In reality, the Republic Day is a complex phenomenon as it celebrates a very important aspect of freedom, namely the one concerning the political sphere: the freedom from monarchical hierarchy. On that day inaugurates the quest for a meritocratic society. Gradually, little by little, thanks to this path, they pulled down old hierarchies - monarchical privilege, a caste-based system, unequal access to law and justice.
This process, according to many Indian commentators, however, is incomplete. The families of Re were replaced by political dynasties, the law is equal to over a billion Indians and duecentomilioni but the system is slow and very picky, and the difference of caste has not been entirely abolished. However, no one can really say that today, compared to January 25, 1950, Indian society is less free and no hierarchies. This is the real importance of the Republican revolution. It can not cease, it can only benefit by the advance of time, as wisely said Kiram Tirumalasetti, lawyer to the Hight Court of Andhra Pradesh, "India will overcame."

the fundamental pillars of the Indian state THE TEST OF TIME.
The Indian state, with the proclamation of the republic, was based on three fundamental pillars of secularism (lay '), socialism and nonalignment. However, as S. Nihal Singh's remarks in a commentary published in the celebrations on the Deccan Chronicle 26.01.2010, the "non-alignment" has lost its relevance with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, socialism has been superseded by globalization and consumerism and secularism survives in a condition called "battered".
