The Constitution is like the North Star—it anchors us amidst chaos, guiding our journey as a nation through uncharted waters. On the 75th anniversary of this historic document, actor and statesman Kamal Haasan pens an evocative letter, paying tribute to its framers and urging every Indian to delve into its pages with pride and reverence.

Reflecting on the immense task undertaken by 299 visionaries, Haasan recalls how these architects of modern India braved the storms of partition and skepticism to pen a legacy that defines “We, the people.” Their vision wasn’t just about governance but about stitching together a nation torn by differences, crafting a fabric of unity in diversity.

In his heartfelt appeal, Kamal Haasan emphasizes the relevance of our Constitution as a living document—a beacon of justice, equality, and liberty that continues to inspire the world. He implores every Indian to not only celebrate but understand the values enshrined in this document, urging, “Let us honor the 299 great Indians by becoming the 300th who truly embodies their vision.”

And as Kamal Haasan humorously reminds us, if the framers could draft the Constitution in two years, eleven months, and seventeen days, the least we can do is take a few hours to read it—preferably without zoning out after Article 21!
