This book captures the disquiet among the members of the Constituent Assembly and the outbursts by members of the dominant party that its leaders were 'settling' the constitution behind closed doors. It examines threadbare the conclusion of many scholars that a great amount of deliberation and debate on merit took place in the Constituent Assembly before arriving at a form of government best suited to India. Proposed meaningful and far -reaching amendments made by some members, whom Ambedkar fondly called the 'rebels', were rejected outright, uinder one pretext or another, to silence dissent.

The post-Independance political history of India bears testimony that the apprehensions voiced by these so-called 'rebels' played out to be true. In the Constituent Assembly, however, their voices, pregnant with a warning, were voices in the wilderness.
