Explanation:

Constitutional amendment in India is the process of making changes to the supreme law of the land. It involves addition of new article or clause, deletion of existing article or clause or the improvement of the existing articles.

The constitution of India itself provides the procedure for the amendment to the constitution. Article 368 deals with the power of parliament to amend the constitution.

The constitution can be amended in three ways :

Amendment by the simple majority of the parliament(I.e. the majority of the members of each house present and voting)
Amendment by special majority of the parliament (I.e. more than 50 percent of the total membership of the house and a majority of two-thirds of the members of the house present and voting)
Amendment by special majority of the parliament and the ratification of half of the state legislature by simple majority

There have been 101 amendments to the constitution of India since it was first enacted in 1950.
