Do you agree with the statement that “it is not clear why in a poor
developing country, certain basic socio-economic rights were
relegated to the section on Directive Principles rather than made
an integral feature of our Fundamental Rights”? Give reasons for
your answer. What do you think are the possible reasons for putting
socio-economic rights in the section on Directive Principles?
One of the limitations of the Constitution of India is that it does not
adequately attend to gender justice. What evidence can you give to
substantiate this charge? If you were writing the Constitution today,
what provisions would you recommend for remedying this limitation?
Why is it said that the making of the Indian Constitution was
unrepresentative? Does that make the Constitution
unrepresentative? Give reasons for your answer.
This discussion was taking place in a class. Read the various
arguments and state which of these do you agree with and why.
Jayesh: I still think that our Constitution is only a borrowed
document.
Saba: Do you mean to say that there is nothing Indian in it? But is
there such a thing as Indian and western in the case of values and
ideas? Take equality between men and women. What is western
about it? And even if it is, should we reject it only because it is
western?
Jayesh: What I mean is that after fighting for independence from
the British, did we not adopt their system of parliamentary
government?
Neha: You forget that when we fought the British, we were not
against the British as such, we were against the principle of
colonialism. That has nothing to do with adopting a system of
government that we wanted, wherever it came from.
