"I'm glad initiatives like @CLPR_CADIndia are making information about members of the Constituent Assembly of India more widely available. Aside from the text of the constitution, the sheer diversity of the Assembly was a testament to the founding’s democratic aspirations. As we think more about the popular life of constitutional morality (in India and elsewhere) @CLPR_CADIndia is a fantastic example of the civic importance of public history.." - Tejas Parasher, Junior Research Fellow, King's College
