From the Editors
This second issue of the second volume of Veritas, the bi-an-

nual forensic science newsletter of the Department of Forensic

Science at Kristu Jayanti College, Autonomous, Bangalore, is

a special edition memorializing the 74th Indian Republic Day.

26 January 1950 marks one of the most historical moments of

the Indian nation when the Indian constitution came into force

and declared Purna Swaraj or complete independence for India.
The contemplations and deliberations of several virtuous indi-

viduals, including Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, B N Rau, K.M.Munshi,

Muhammed Saadulah, Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, Gopala Swa-

mi Ayyangar, N. Madhava Rao, and T. T. Krishnamachari gave

birth to the world’s longest written constitution. The constitu-

tion drafted by the drafting committee was signed by the 284

members of the constitutional assembly at the Constitution Hall
in New Delhi on 24 January 1950.
