The talk was able to successfully juxtapose the making of the Indian Constitution with details of Austin’s incredible life. On the 31 st July 2015, Vikram Raghavan – Senior Counsel – World Bank, in his talk titled – ‘ Granville Austin and the Making of India’s Constitution’ attempted to answer these questions in front of a diverse audience at the Centre for Law and Policy Research (CLPR), Bangalore. But who was Granville Austin anyway? How did he manage to jump the political and bureaucratic hurdles to access the archives? What did he do after he wrote his magnum opus?
