Importance of Social Justice and Social Development in India!

For the formation of social­istic pattern of society based on equality, liberty and fraternity, it laid down certain provisions in Constitution of India for the social justice and development of the downtrodden India, as part of national commitment.

When India got freedom, it saw large number of people living in very deteriorated and poverty-stricken conditions. The problem in South Asia in general and India in particular was so much that it was not merely confined to the economic one but encompassed all other aspects of socio-cultural life.

Myrdal regards the complexities and dissimilarities as a drama “sense a clear cut set of conflicts and tension. The action in this drama is speeding towards a climax. Tension is mounting: economically, socially and politically” (Myrdal, 1968).

Myrdal accused people of South Asia for the vast inequality and conflict, besides the backward economy, which he saw as a common theme in the drama. His narration of social inequalities and destitute conditions of South Asian people are quoted as: To some degree all of us are participants in drama. It is as if the stage set for South Asia were enlarged and due onto itself the entire world, so that no one could merely be a spectator. The growing western literature on the problems of the underdeveloped countries in South Asia since the second world war to which this book is another contribution is due to a heightened awareness of our stake in the dramatic happenings in these countries … Despite the increased interest in South Asian problems in other parts of the world, the leading figures in this drama are the people of South Asia themselves, above all their educated class.

This drama has its unity in a set of inner conflicts operating on people’s mind: between their high pitched aspirations and bitter experience of a harsh reality, between the desire for change and improvement and mental reservations and inhibitions about accepting the consequences and paying the price. Such conflicts are part of human life in all times and place; but in the countries under study, they have an exceptional, mounting intensity and assume a unique form.

“Urged on by aspiration and curbed by material conditions and their own inhibitions, articulate individuals and groups in all these countries continually take decisions with the objective of resolving or accommodating the conflicts. The drama gains its fast pace from the terrific strength of the forces creating the conflicts” (Myrdal, 1968).

The post-independent India had expected some sort of egali­tarian society as one of the important flanks of national struggle, for independence was to give India not only political freedom, but also social and economic freedom as well. Hence, for formation of social­istic pattern of society based on equality, liberty and fraternity, it laid down certain provisions in Constitution of India for the social justice and development of the downtrodden India, as part of national commitment.
