Question

Reflections on the preamble of indian constitution

Answer 1

The Constitution of India is fundamental law of land. It is a socio, economic and political instrument with a revolutionary thrust. Like other constitutions, the Indian Constitution also commences with a preamble, which reflects the ideals, aspirations and expectations of the people of India. The preamble contains the aims and objectives of the Indian Republic and enshrines the whole philosophy of the Indian Constitution in a nutshell. 

The Preamble begins with the words, ‘We, the people of India……’.  It suggests that the sovereignty resides with the people and the fact that all powers of government flow from the people. Indian national freedom movement had represented the spirit of freedom of the people of India. Therefore, it had a moral legitimacy to use the word, ‘we the people’ in the Preamble to the Constitution of India

The usage of words Sovereign, Socialistic, Secular, Democratic and Republic reflects the aspirations and expectation of people that how independent India should be. Sovereign is a reflection of the spirit of independence attained after centuries of subordination to foreign rule. The word Socialistic signifies that the ownership & control of the material resources of the community are distributed as best to subserve the common good & decentralization of material resources of wealth.
