This is a ten part documentary series on the drafting of the Constitution of Bharat. The series is sponsored by Rajya Sabha and hence the government itself and directed by Shyam Benegal.
The theme itself is a priceless treasure. So that everyone knows what went into the making of the constitution, who were the stakeholders involved, the processes that went about in drafting and approving it. While Dr BR Ambedkar was the chief architect, there were many key stakeholders involved who've been forgotten in the winds of time. This series helps throw light into that.
Controversial topics were also covered and the debates that went into it - including the humorous side of things. It also goes to show that everyone's voice was heard. Patient debates did happen.
What's left unsaid is that the voice of the silent majority was muffled by the voices of the legislative majority. A summary of key outcomes with timeframes along with the arguments of both sides will help revisit some of these laws, if the intent is no longer being served.
Swara Bhaskar has done a good job as sutradhaar while all actors playing the roles of these leaders have also done well.
