Approach:

First discuss the statement of the question. Is it justified? A preferable way of answering would be to consider that the statement holds good. If you negate the statement, the second part of the question will not hold much relevance.

Also give arguments in support of the stand that you are taking. Here you can also discuss the requirement that a constitution should be dynamic in nature. However, the requirement that changes should not be too frequent, also needs to be discussed.

Then discuss whether amendments in the Indian Constitution will pass the test of the statement (while discussing this, you have to assume that the statement holds good.)

Also, provide examples of some constitutional amendments and discuss whether changes have been too frequent, or only when situations arose that made these inevitable.
