About controversy surrounding the Preamble before we discuss further details first let us do the syllabus mapping in terms of syllabus mapping this particular topic is related to gender studies paper to polity in this it related to Indian constitution features and amendments then video components in this video we are
Going to cover why this particular thing is in use then what is Preamble what is the history of the Preamble that means how it evolved over the period of time then we will discuss about key terms in the Preamble and amendments down to the Preamble and what are the popular opinions of eminent
Personalities regarding the Preamble then we’ll discuss about what kind of information giving by the Preamble so these are the details you can expect in this particular video now in this photo you can see the Preamble and Preamble look like this it start with we the people of India first as an aspirate do
You have to know Preamble gives four different types of information what is that Preamble gives the first information is who is the authority of this constitution so who given the authority to the Constitution to rule Indians who given the authority we the people of India that means the source of
Authority source of authority is the people of India the second information from the Preamble is nature of India what is the nature of India India is Sovereign socialist secular Democratic and Republic this is the nature of India and the third information from Preamble is objectives of Indian constitution
What are the objectives wanted to be achieved by the Indian constitution Justice Liberty equality and fraternity and fourth information from the Preamble is date of adaptation of Indian constitution that is 26th November 1949 this is the fourth so these are the four different set of information given by the preamble
Okay now let’s see why it is in news recently Constitution books Constitution copies given to the MPS and the occasion of the inauguration of new Parliament building you know that in those new copies from the Preamble those were secular and socialist they were missing from the Preamble of the
Constitution actually these words were not there in the original Constitution they were added to original Constitution through 42nd Constitution Amendment Act 1976. this issue was raised by the Congress in response law Ministry was giving the answer that these copies are the representing the original Constitution copies so because the original Constitution did
Not contain these words that’s the reason these words are not there in the updated Constitution these words would be there but generally when you are giving Constitution to anyone else obviously what you will expect your expected the up up expert the updated version of The Constitution so meanwhile what is your opinion on
This particular issue because few years back onwards this kind of issue being raised by few politicians the deliberately they demanded that these words socialist and secular should be removed from the Preamble they demanded of course Supreme Courts rejected that petition but meanwhile what is your take on this particular issue meanwhile tell
Me students the concept of Preamble we borrowed from which country from which country we borrowed this concept of Preamble tell me next Preamble subjected to Amendment ones which amendment that was 42nd Constitution Amendment act 1976. through this amendment following three words were added to the Indian Preamble they are socialist secular and
The word integrative these three words are rich this 40 second Constitution Amendment act 1976 it is popularly known as many Constitution because majority of the changes reflected through this amendment of course majority of the changes brought into this constitution through this amendment never been reverted back they were being canceled through 44th Constitution
Amendment at 1978. see Preamble generally Preamble reflect the philosophy of the Constitution the original form of the Preamble is objective resolution initially it was introduced as an objective resolution and this objective resolution introduced by who introduced objective resolution jawaharlal nehru introduced to the objective resolution on 13th December 1946.
Later it was unanimously adapted by constant assembly on 22nd January 1947. okay 22nd January 1947 later when we implement the when we adopt the Constitution that is on 26 November 1949 on the day it was erupted as a preamble this was brief history regarding the Preamble and its objective resolution next
Obviously Preamble came into implemented from 26 January 1950 like the majority provisions of the Constitution Preamble provides following information already covered Preamble provide these following four different set of information next so according to the Preamble nature of state is Sovereign socialist secular Democratic and Republic and the objectives of the Constitution
Constitution wanted to achieve Justice Liberty equality and fraternity and amendments done to the Preamble only once through that Amendment these are the three words we added to the preamble next key terms in the Preamble like I said earlier the Preamble is saying that the authority of the people authority of
The Constitution is from the Priya is from the people that means here people are giving Authority people are giving authority to the Constitution that means people are people are you know like they allowed the Constitution to rule the people that means there’s an agreement between the people and Constitution this agreement
Was happened this type of agreement in political science we can call it as social contract theory you can call it as what social contract theory now tell me students who was the first political philosopher proposed the social contract theory okay again put your answer in the comment section next
Sovereign Sovereign means what an independent country in this country internal matters as well as external matters no country will involve such kind of Independence is there if a country is only having the independence in internal matters but not in the external matters then you can call that
Country as a Dominion status okay just because we are having the membership in the Commonwealth it doesn’t mean that it will affect our sovereignty next socialist socialist is all about it this term was not there in the original Constitution it was added through 42nd Constitutional Amendment Act 1976. socialist nature
Even though this word was not there in the Constitution socialist features were already there in dpsp direct principles of State policy and India follows the Democratic kind of socialism that means it is somewhere between the Marxist socialism okay I mean this communist socialism and the you know a completely liberal
Liberalism via somewhere in between actually we can take the inspiration from both Gandhi and socialism as well as the Marxism socialism we Blended that both gandhin as well as Marxism socialism okay like secular this is what is also added through 40 second Constitution Amendment act secularism means it can be positive
Secularism or negative securism in positive secularism State involves in the religions whereas in the negative secularism State and religions are tightly separated India follows the positive secularism here so the secular Provisions before this word added to the Constitution even there are already secular Provisions are there for example article 14 everyone
Will be treated equally before the law Article 15 16 which are prohibiting the Discrimination based on the religion next Democratic so India you know the students India follows indirect democracy in majority of the times except only in grama Sabha where people directly involved in the decision making process tell me students which article
Deals with the grammar Sabha of the panchayat Raj India follows parliamentary form of democracy where executive is responsible to legislature that responsibility that accountability can be tested through various instruments such as no communities motion or you know like a sensual motion or you know like defeating of motion of thanks defeating
Of the ordinary bills like that next Republic means the head of the office are head of the state is elected rather than hereditary in country like UK where the head of the state is hereditary whereas in India the head of the state is elected so India is a
Republic country because the head of the state is elected so these are the five words which describes the nature of the state Sovereign socialist secular Democratic and Republic now we will see objectives of the Indian constitution Justice Indian constitution are envisaging that different types of Justice will be
Provided to the people what are the types of justice social justice which creates a society where noun discrimination and economic Justice where you know like no discrimination in terms of the in terms of the wealth and income and political Justice everyone will be provided the equal opportunity
In political aspects that is about the Justice Liberty you know Indian constitution did not guarantee the unlimited Liberty it is always a limited Liberty because very popularly political scientist John Locke John Locke says that John Locke he says that John Locke says that no law no Liberty
That means if you want a liberty you must have a law because if they there is no law it doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you like so always there must be restriction on other other person’s Liberty so that everyone will enjoy their natural rights okay that means in India offers limited
Liberty not absolute to an equality that means no section of society they have special privileges even it was reflected in the article 18 also which prohibited the titles okay of course exception was there regarding the military as well as academic fraternity it means feeling of brotherhoods and an emotional attachment
Among the Indian citizenship it also helps to provide promote the dignity and unity of the nation so these are the objectives Indian constitution wanted to achieve finally next secularism you know students during the making of constant assembly there were certain debates regarding the inclusion of the word secularism okay people like ketisha brijeshwar
Prasad they raised debates that’s the word secularism must be included in the Constitution but in response to these people demands BR ambedkar was commenting that regarding the policy of the states and regarding how the society should function these are the ones decided by then condition then social and economical condition
These cannot be attributed or this this cannot be decided by the Constitution okay so that means based on the then social condition country will go in terms of secularism as well as socialism so because of this idea declined to include these two words in Preamble next we’ll see some of the
Eminent personalities commence on preamble um he was saying that Preamble is identity Court of the Constitution then Allah Constitution expresses what we had thought or dreamed so long that means it reflects our Indians philosophy then came munshi the horoscope of our Constitution Preamble is about Ernest Baker keynote of the Constitution
That means the important things in Constitution they were reflected in the Preamble he was saying that it is a soul of the Constitution which reflects which also called as Jewel set of the Constitution and it is a proper yardstick that means is a measurement through which you can
Measure the worth of the Constitution same like how we use the measures to measures and goods value in the same way you can measure the value of the Constitution by looking at the Preamble here the one soul of the Constitution tell me students according to BR ambedkar which article of the
Indian constitution consider as heart and soul of the Constitution tell me next Supreme Court Landmark judgments Supreme Court in the berubhari case in 1960 it delivered a very interesting judgment in the Judgment Supreme Court opinion that Preamble is not part of the Constitution but later this decision was reversed in
Question case Supreme Court opened that Preamble is a part of the Constitution and it cannot be seen different from the Constitution so when Preamble is a part of the Constitution then when Preamble is able to amend it then obviously when Constitution is able to amend it then obviously Preamble can be amended that
Is the reason that was amended through 42nd Constitution Amendment at 1976. the addition given by Supreme Court in keshavananda is it was reinforced in Union government versus LIC of India case now let’s see yesterday is p by Q I mean this McQ question which of the following statements are correct with the
