The Journey of Amendments of the Constitutions of India: 1950 to 2013

Amendments of the Indian Constitution have been done for the purpose of variation, addition or cancellation of any provision made in the constitution. Since the enactment of the Constitution of India on 26th November 1949, there have been 98 amendments made to it till 2013. Numbers of Bills are introduced before Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha for further improving the Constitution. Parliament has been bestowed with the constituent power, using which changes in the Indian Constitution can be made. However, the basic structure of the Indian Constitution cannot be changed under any circumstances. In case any amendment violates the basic structure of constitution, it should be revised and changed. The researcher has tried to identify and give a synoptic review of amendments of Constitution of India from 1950 to 2013.
