Question

January 26 is celebrated as Republic Day in our country. It was on this

day, in 1950, the new constitution of independent India came into force

and India became a democratic republic. The Constituent Assembly

headed by Dr. Rajendra Prasad, with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar as the

Chairman of the Drafting Committee, took more than two years to

bring the world’s lengthiest constitution to its final shape.

The enormous task before the Constituent Assembly was to frame the

basic law that would formalize India as a truly democratic nation.

Democracy is aptly defined as a system of Government by the people,

for the people and of the people. The founding fathers of the

Constitution, therefore, had to ensure that the basic law of the land

contained sufficient provisions for the fulfilment of the democratic

aspirations of the people of India not only in the political sphere but

also in the social and economic spheres. That explains the inclusion of

a separate part in the Constitution, called the Directive Principles of

State Policy.

These principles signify the fact that the framers of the Constitution

were well aware of the wide gaps and inequalities that existed among

the various sections of the Indian population. The Constitution makers

had the wisdom to appreciate that political democracy is meaningless

when an overwhelming majority of the population is historically

trapped in poverty, illiteracy, ill-health and superstition. The Central

and State Governments were expected to frame policies so that every

citizen is assured of a decent living standard irrespective of sex, caste,

religion, language and regionThe makers of our Constitution describe India as a Union of States

and not as a federation. Being well conversant with the diversity of the

nation in terms of the language, religion, caste and region, and its

implications on the intended socio-economic development of the

country as a whole, the makers of the Constitution opted for a political

system in which the Central Government is equipped with

overwhelming administrative, legislative and financial muscle. Most of

the nations’ policies and programmes for socio-economic development

originate at the Central Government, and the responsibility for their

successful implementation is entrusted to the states.
