The Indian Constitution is responsible for setting up the framework of Democracy, that gives people equal rights in various aspects of life. It also believes in Secularism. Thus, the Constitution touches peoples’ lives everyday by making everyone equal in the eyes of law whether socially, or economically or religion wise. This equality empowers people, thereby giving them the freedom and right to live a life of dignity.
