In Assembling India's Constitution; A New Democratic History (@CambridgeUP, 2025), @itihaasnaama and @OrnitShani argue that the canonical view of India's constitutional history ignores the widespread constitutional politics occurring *outside* the Constituent Assembly.

Open Access | Rohit De and Ornit Shani’s Assembling India’s Constitution: A New Democratic History revisits the making of the Indian Constitution.

Just out and highly recommended! One of the best books I’ve read on India’s constitution making process, which has profoundly altered my views on constitutional drafting and civic mobilization. A must read by @itihaasnaama and @OrnitShani
