Request to remove / change misleading main image

The current main image in the infobox is misleading because:

The 42nd Amendment changed "Sovereign Democratic Republic" to "Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic" and modified "unity of the Nation" to "unity and integrity of the Nation". Therefore, the text in the image is incomplete and invalid. The is misleading and doesn't not align with the Constitution of India.

Requesting an editor to either:

- remove the misleading image, or

- replace it with a more appropriate one which is available on Commons.

Thank you. Synthara19 (talk) 07:46, 26 November 2025 (UTC)

Criticism section needed

This article should genuinely have a criticism section, highlighting the arguments put forth by critics. It does mention a critique by Sengupta towards the end in 1–2 lines, but other scholarly work criticizing some features is missing, the flexibility has been both a feature and a bug, baking in the UPSC (adopted from ICS) has faced severe criticisms, so has the 10th schedule, emergency provisions, dilution of state rights, and other things like no compulsory state residency requirements to represent a state in Rajya Sabha, failure to separate legislature and executive, judiciary appointing its own judges, and others. Fairly non-neutral from my point of view as it has mostly facts and praises, and no mention of how it has caused severe governance issues in India. The issue of reservations has generated intense debates among academics and media, but not even make a minor note in the article (maybe rightly because of being contentious), removal of right to property as a fundamental rights finds no mention, what constitutes 'reasonable' restrictions on freedom of speech/trade & profession and other Article 19 rights is not addressed Ar1201u1 (talk) 23:10, 3 July 2026 (UTC)
