There were some principles that were forged during long struggle for freedom. Constituent Assembly was giving concrete shape and form to the principles it had inherited from the nationalist movement. For decades preceding the promulgation of the Constitution, the nationalist movement had debated many questions that were relevant to the making of the constitution-the shape and form of government India should have, the values it should uphold, the inequalities it should overcome. Answers found in those debates were given their final form in the Constitution. Perhaps, the best summary of the principles that the nationalist movement brought to the Constituent Assembly is the Objectives Resolution, which encapsulated the aspirations and values behind the Constitution. Based on this resolution, our Constitution gave institutional expression to these fundamental commitments: equality, liberty, democracy, sovereignty and a cosmopolitan identity. Thus, our Constitution is not merely a maze of rules and procedures, but it is also a moral commitment to establish a government that will fulfill the many promises that the nationalist movement held before the people.

According to the Indian constitution, Right to Equality means :
(i) Equality before law.
(ii) Equal protection of law
(iii) Prohibition on discrimination on ground of religion, caste, race, gender or birth.
(iv) Equal access to shops, public restaurants, bathing ghats, etc
(v) Equality of opportunity for all citizens of India in matters related to employment.
(vi) Untouchability has been abolished and practice of it will be an offence, punishable in accordance with law.
(vii) The state shall not confer any title, except military and academic distinctions.
(viii) No citizen of India will accept any title from any foreign state. So, 'right to equality' includes every aspect of human life. We can say, it is right to prohibit discrimination on ground of caste, religion, birth, gender or race. It contains a theme of egalitarian society, in which all men are equal as per law and have equal opportunity to develop their personality and potential.

The Indian Constitution was drafted by the Constituent Assembly. In 1946, under the Cabinet Mission Plan, the elections for the Constituent Assembly were held.

The seats were also reserved for Muslims, Sikhs and general candidates, in proportion to their population. Out of the total membership of 389 of the Constituent Assembly, 292were to be the representatives of the provinces, 93 of the princely states and rest of four members were to come from Chief Commissioner s Areas. In the provincial elections, the Muslim league won 73 seats, Congress 208 and independents and others won 9 seats.

Nepal had witnessed several people's struggles for democracy. A people's struggle in Nepal in 1990 established democracy that lasted for 12 years until 2002. There was Maoist uprising in the countryside.
The King Gyanendra finally took over as the head of the government in February 2005. In November 2005, the Maoists joined other political parties to sign a 12-point agreement.
This agreement signalled to the larger public an imminent return to democracy and peace. In 2006, this people's movement for democracy began. Finally, in April 2006, the people's movement succeeded in putting an end to the powers of the King.
The King restored the Third Parliament and asked the political parties to form a government. The interim Constitution was adopted in 2007.

(ii) Second, it determines the nature of a country's political system. It gives the guidelines that govern decision-making in the country.
(iii) Third, a Constitution is needed to protect us from ourselves. It guards against taking any decision in haste or whim that might affect the larger interest.
