The Constitution of India is the supreme law of the land and represents the principles and values upon which India stands: democracy, equality, justice, secularism, and the rule of law.
The director said, "When we say 'Hamara Samvidhan,' we refer to the foundational document that not only guides the governance of the country but also ensures the protection of the rights and freedoms of every citizen. 'Hamara Swabhiman' (Our Pride) reflects the respect and dignity that every citizen of India feels towards the Constitution, recognising it as a symbol of unity, diversity, and strength."
Prof Pawan Chakarborty, dean, said the Constitution is derived from a combination of multiple sources, both domestic and international, that helped shape its structure, provisions, and functioning.

Bring the action to Hyderabad, chief minister Revanth Reddy tells Tollywood
Hyderabad: Chief minister A Revanth Reddy on Saturday called on the Telugu film industry to draft a vision document that would contribute to Telangana's goal of becoming a $3 trillion economy by 2047. Speaking at the Telangana Gaddar Film Awards 2025 function in Hyderabad, Revanth said that just like the govt is preparing sectoral plans for IT, pharma, and other industries, the film industry too will have a dedicated chapter in the state's upcoming Vision 2027 document. 'Bring Hollywood and Bollywood to Hyderabad — this is where the action should be,' the CM told acclaimed director SS Rajamouli. 'You tell me what infrastructure you need; we will create it,' he said. Revanth said that while govt decisions may sometimes appear stringent, they are always aimed at empowering the film industry. Recalling the legacy of Congress govts, he said it was the Congress that instituted the Nandi Film Awards in undivided AP in 1964. He added that no film awards were given over the past 14 years, but the Telangana govt has now revived them, honouring filmmakers and artistes for every year since the formation of the state in 2014. Addressing the new generation of actors, Revanth urged stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and Allu Arjun to take a leadership role in advancing the industry's contribution to the state's economic vision. 'When India marks 100 years of independence in 2047, Telangana should also celebrate by achieving this ambitious milestone,' he said. Revanth emphasised that Telangana's competition is not with other Indian cities like Amaravati or Mumbai, but with global economic powerhouses such as New York, Tokyo, and Seoul. 'Regardless of my role in politics or govt, I am committed to achieving our $3 trillion goal,' he asserted. Paying tribute to revolutionary balladeer Gaddar, in whose name the film awards are instituted, the CM said, 'Gaddar inspired the movement for a separate Telangana. He remains a guiding force for us all.' On the occasion, the CM announced a govt contribution of Rs 3 crore to the Gaddar Foundation. Gaddar's son, Surya Kiran, thanked the govt and said the funds would help preserve Gaddar's memory and ideals. Deputy chief minister Bhatti Vikramarka and cinematography minister Komatireddy Venkat Reddy presented the film awards. Follow more information on Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad here .

Congress made 'historic blunder' letting Pakistan go nuclear: Assam CM Sarma
Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Saturday accused the Congress of committing a "historic blunder" by allowing Pakistan to become a nuclear state, alleging that India had the capability, intelligence and international support to launch a pre-emptive strike in the 1980s, but failed to act due to political hesitation. In a post on X, Sarma said: "At a time when nations today act decisively to neutralise nuclear threats, India's tragic inaction during the 1980s remains a cautionary tale of what could have been-and what wasn't. RAW had solid intelligence confirming Pakistan's uranium enrichment activities at the Kahuta facility." He added: "Israel offered to help-from actionable intel to joint strike planning. Jamnagar Air Base was shortlisted as a potential launchpad. The Indian military gave full backing to a pre-emptive airstrike on Kahuta. India had the capability and consensus to eliminate the threat before it became reality." Sarma went on to say: "Yet at the last minute: Indira Gandhi hesitated, fearing international fallout. Rajiv Gandhi shelved the plan, prioritising diplomacy over deterrence under foreign pressure." Sarma also targeted the CPM, saying: "To this day, Pakistan uses nuclear blackmail to deter international action and legitimise its rogue behaviour. Shockingly, in 2024, key INDIA bloc ally CPM promised in its manifesto to roll back India's nuclear deterrent if brought to power." Live Events
