India is a welfare state. The fact that the preamble of the Constitution itself envisages India to be a ‘socialist' state bears enough evidence for this.
What do we understand by the word socialism? Socialism in India is not understood in the Russian context where all resources are owned by the state and the state secures the welfare of all. Socialism, as envisioned in the Indian Constitution, aims at elimination of inequality in income, status and standards of life. In many decisions, courts have interpreted ‘socialism' to mean a kind of social democracy which comes closer to the conception of a social welfare state as seen in the Constitutions of France and Germany. The Constitution itself, however, does not define the term, but merely implies the above meaning through the rest of its provisions.
In exercise of socialism, the Constitution provides what are called the Directive Principles of State Policy in Part four. These principles are not justiciable in a court of law, meaning that one cannot file a proceeding because a Directive Principle has not been enacted or been denied. However, this does not render them redundant as they recognize the long-term but fundamental goals of a welfare state which help in defining the path of development the country is to follow, and it is the duty of the State to apply them while making laws. By their very name, they are “Directive” principles, principles which he
the government direct their functions in order to make India what the Constitution-makers wanted it to be. Further, Article 38 provides a mandate for the State to ‘secure a social order for the promotion of welfare of the people'.
