#4I always love these sort of things. Here's the same for the US constitution: https://github.com/JesseKPhillips/USA-Constitution
As a bonus, this one attempted to backdate the commits in a cyphered way (git dates are unix timestamps so the author needed to get clever to do anything before t=0 in 1970).

#6Great effort!
I wish the files were named as Part01.txt, Part02.txt and so on to suit the default string sorting used by GitHub. The list on GitHub has Part1.txt, Part10.txt...Part19.txt, Part2.txt, and so on, which makes it a bit cumbersome to browse on that site.

#7India's constitution is the largest national constitution in the world, and second-largest overall, only behind Alabama's, which has a whopping 951 amendments and nearly 400,000 words as of January 2021.

I did think about having correct dates and authors, but then I got lazy and in fact got more focussed on getting all the amendments in place.
Now that the core work is done, I'll add corrected dates (perhaps real date + 100 years), authors and committers in one of the later commits.
Thanks for reminding!

It should not be hard to do the same to this one, given that the constitution of india came into effect on 26th january 1950.
