Some parts of the constituent assembly debates make fascinating reading. One is struck by the high quality of the debates and the breadth of vision and farsightedness of the founding fathers. The contribution of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the principal architect of the constitution, was outstanding. Article 32 of the constitution guarantees to every person the right to move the Supreme Court directly for enforcement of fundamental rights. It provides an inexpensive and expeditious remedy. In Ambedkar’s memorable words: ‘If I was asked any particular article in the constitution as the most important — an article without which this constitution would be a nullity — I Could not refer to any other article except this one. It is the very soul of the constitution and the very heart of it’. The book, which provides a rare opportunity to debate and discuss the contribution of Dr. Ambedkar in nation building, will be great interest to all sections of people.
