What Happened
An opinion piece addresses B.R. Ambedkar, arguing that India's political institutions are undermining the Constitution he drafted. The writer contends that electoral inclusion is narrowing, institutional checks on executive power are weakening, and Article 32's protections are eroding through delayed petitions and sedition charges. These distortions contradict Ambedkar's vision of political and social democracy.
