A man in a mask cycles past the blue wall of a house where once lived a lawyer who was the Advocate-General of Madras Presidency from 1929 to 1944. Alladi Krishnaswamy Ayyar was also a member of the Drafting Committee that framed the Constitution of India. The country’s fundamental governing document, it came into effect on January 26, 1950.
