Disadvantages if indian polity
Answers
Answer:
Though personally, it is really hard for me to consider any of these as real flaws but yes some of these are certainly anomalies.
a) The Constitution is comprehensive and in fact too comprehensive. Some provisions seem too redundant to be considered a part of the Constitution.
b) There is a strong bias towards the centre in our federal structure. Recent case of Uttarakhand's govt being toppled to set in President's rule is a glaring example.
c) Privileges of the Parliament and State Legislatures are left upon then to decide which has not been codified till date. Though one doesn't expect such a provision to be enumerated in the Constitution, but Indian scenario might entail one such provision.
d) The Constitution is too bulky and too complex for a layman to understand. In fact it is considered a paradise of lawyers. This happened because our Constituent Assembly comprised of a very high number of eminent lawyers.
e) There is a high degree of protection to civil servants accorded under Art 311. This provision is more misused and abused than being used.
f) Anglo Indian community doesn't really require 2 seats in Lok Sabha anymore. The fears of 1950s are certainly gone and this provision may be repealed to uphold Right to Equality.
