India has adopted democracy with a secular constitution, one of the finest in the world, to manage its affairs internally and internationally.

It has helped India in building a diverse, united, progressive, prosperous and secular nation following INDEPENDENCE in 1947.

It is built on equality, fraternity and freedom with secular approach sidelining caste, creed and religion.

Farsightedness of our leaders like Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Vallabhbhai Patel, Abul Kalam Azad, etc. contributed greatly in foundation of powerful and great India.

Any other approach, say dictatorship or theocracy ( mixing of religion), is seen inappropriate in a CIVILISED world. Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea, Myanmar, Cuba, Ecuador, etc. are such examples.

Such nations do not command respect of international community. Nepal, till recently a Hindu nation, too adopted a secular approach.

It is world’s largest democracy with a fine secular constitution. Let us preserve it
All the laws evolve from the Constitution ,in order to make our Constitution effective, the drafting COMMITTEE headed by B.R Ambedkar sat for 2 years 11 months 18 days to complete the Constitution and finally on 26th Nov 1949 it was adopted …we have the lengthiest Constitution in the world ..

Well as I mentioned we need to know about our rights first which are protected by the Constitution …

Preamble to the Constitution of India.

WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:

JUSTICE, social, economic and political;

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;

EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all

FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;

IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this 26th day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION.

Constitution of India was framed by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. It was mostly borrowed from other Constitutions. Dr. Ambedkar had admitted that the borrowed points

Were not “slavish imitations” but adoption of time-tested constitutional principles like the “Rule of Law” or “Equality before Law” to serve the interests of the people.

The role of Indian Constitution is to protect democracy. Maintain unity, harmony and integrity of the country.

Indian Constitution is superior to all the laws of the country. Every law enacted by the government has to be in conformity with the Constitution.

The basic structure of Indian governance, the executive, the legislation a decision the judiciary are formed by the Constitution. The Constitution defines the power and responsibility of each.

The Constitution sets up a balance between the Government the different organs governing India and the people of India.

The rights and duties of the citizens of India are laid down by the Constitution.

The Constitution is not rigid and has been amended more than 100 times. The Constitution has not been drafted in a lucid language and it is too lengthy. This helps the lawyers find loopholes in it.
