It is the longest written
constitution of any sovereign country in the
world, containing 448 articles in 22 parts, 12
schedules and 100 amendments. Although the
last article of the Constitution is Article 395, the
total number, as of March 2012 is 448. New
articles added through amendments have been
inserted in the relevant location in the original
constitution. In order not to disturb the original
numbering, the new articles are inserted with
alphanumberic enumerations. For example,
Article 21A pertaining to Right to Education was
inserted by the 86th Amendment Act.
