Constitution of India is Framed by?

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar played one of the most important roles in framing the Indian constitution.

The Indian Constitution is the country’s highest law.
It is the world’s longest-written national constitution.
It was ratified by the people with a declaration in the preamble and granted constitutional supremacy (rather than parliamentary because the Constituent Assembly, not Parliament, curated it).
The constitution is unalterable by the parliament.

On 26 November 1949, the Indian Constituent Assembly approved it, and on 26 January 1950, it went into effect.
The Indian Dominion became the Indian Republic when the Constitution took the place of the Government of India Act 1935 as the primary law governing the nation.
To ensure autochthony of the constitution, its framers repealed previous acts of the British Parliament in Article 395.
