He Wrote India’s Constitution But They Erased Him Completely – The Brutal Reason You’ll Never See a BN Rau Statue
Listen, india – because the biggest historical heist in our republic is still going strong in 2026.
Meet B.N. Rau. The man who literally gave us the first draft of the indian Constitution. Not the final polish. Not the committee notes. The actual blueprint that became the world’s longest written constitution. This wasn’t some side gig – this was the foundation.

The same Rau who represented india at the UN Security Council. The same Rau who became the first indian judge at the international court of Justice. The same Rau who helped draft Myanmar’s Constitution. A legal giant who walked with giants on the global stage.
Yet walk through any city, town, or village in india, and you’ll find zero statues of him. Not one. Not even a dusty plaque in some forgotten corner. Meanwhile, the other name you’ve been force-fed since school gets marble monuments taller than buildings, airports, universities, and every second street corner renamed in his honour.

We all know exactly why.
Because telling the truth would collapse the entire carefully crafted narrative. It would mean admitting that the “father of the Constitution” story was political marketing, not history. It would mean acknowledging that a brilliant Brahmin civil servant did the heavy lifting while someone else was handed the spotlight for vote-bank reasons. It would mean statues of the real architect might actually exist instead of the selective amnesia we’ve been living with for decades.

They didn’t just sideline BN Rau – they erased him so thoroughly that most indians have never even heard his name. That’s not an accident. That’s deliberate, calculated, and ruthless.
This isn’t about caste. This is about truth versus propaganda. About who actually built modern india versus who was propped up to own it.
B.N. Rau gave us our Constitution.
They gave him oblivion.
They gave him oblivion.
And every time you see another Ambedkar statue being unveiled while Rau’s contributions gather dust in forgotten files, remember this: history didn’t forget him.
They buried him on purpose.
How much longer are we going to keep pretending we don’t see it?
