The Constitution of Independent India that came into being that day was the culmination of a journey that had begun during the first war of Independence in 1857 when Indian soldiers (rebelling against British colonial rule) attempted to frame their own Constitution.

Shyam Benegal returns to television on a very topical subject in India
- the constitution which is being challenged everyday by the political,
social and industrial environment. He brings together a stellar cast and high drama, thought, vigor to the making of the constitution. The acting, directing, anchoring is top notch. Shot as a 10 hr episode it brings alive the making of the constitution through various perspectives of the leaders of India. The first episode which i saw gripped me as galaxy of characters from Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, Maulana Azad, Patel avoid or decide the partition of India. Gandhi's almost resignation as the Congress part fights it out with Jinnah comes to the fore. The serial comes at a time when the Idea of India is being challenged at many levels but in a sense it endures because the foundation is strong. Shyam Benegal at his best
