Today, the Indian Parliament is set to introduce three significant bills that propose amendments to seven key Articles of the Constitution, including Articles 55, 81, 82, 170, 330, 332, and 334A. These amendments focus on the election of the President and Vice President, the composition of legislatures, and special provisions for Scheduled Classes and Tribes.
