    to jaga mallik:
    AS IT IS GENERALLY SAID THAT THE INDIAN PEOPLE BELIEVE ON ALL THE WRITTEN PROOFS SO THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION EXPLAINS EACH AND EVERY ARTICLE AND SCHEDULE DEEPLY AND WITH EVERY NOOKS SO THE SIZE OF IT GET BIGGER AND THERE CAN’T BE ONLY 20 OR 30 ARTICLES AS THE U.S.A HAVE.AND SO THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION IS THE LARGEST WRITTEN CONSTITUTION IN WORLD.
