The Constitution of India is the good code of laws and guidelines needed to administer people who follow different religions, speak different languages and belong to different castes and cultures, and to treat everyone equally. Even a small family needs rules; a country needs far more. The lesson also teaches that everyone has equal rights, but one must not hinder another's freedom.
