Granville Austin, a renowned American historian of the Indian Constitution, conceptualized the Constitution of India as a ‘seamless web’.
Austin used this term in his seminal work, “The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation,” to describe the interconnectedness of the Constitution’s various parts, particularly the Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy. He argued that these two sections, often seen in tension, are in fact deeply intertwined and form the core of the Indian state’s social revolution.
