Support the statement "Intervention of State in the religious is justified". |
| Answer» It is true that the intervention of state in some religious matter is justified.But in most cases, the state can\'t prohibit a person from worshipping God due to this secularism. A Hindu can\'t be turn into a Muslim and vice versa without his/her consent. There are many instances which proves that the intervention of state in some religious matter was justified. For example:- Banning of Sati Pratha (widow immolation), Bigamy, Polygamy etc. These things can\'t be done in name of religion. Recently, the Supreme Court was involved in the case of Ram Mandir and the decision went to the favour of Ram Mandir. Thus, at some instances the intervention of state is necessary. | |

Constitution was framed by Congress leader. Comment |
| Answer» Constitution of India is the rule-book for democratic governance in India. It came into force on 26 January 1950 and to date remains one of the biggest milestones in the history of our country. Framing a constitution is never a simple task but it was especially hard for India given the extremely tumultuous situation at the time. A newly independent country with a highly unequal social order was a daunting challenge to deal with, especially when it was still reeling under the effects of partition.The Constitution was framed by the Constituent Assembly established under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946. The 299 individuals who comprised the Constituent Assembly can therefore rightfully be termed as the founding fathers and mothers of the Republic of India. Certain members of the Constituent Assembly played a key role, the foremost of whom was Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, whose role as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Assembly has earned him the popular moniker of ‘Father of the Indian Constitution’. Other Congress stalwarts like Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, and Maulana Azad were also dominant voices in Assembly proceedings. A special mention must go to Constitutional Advisor, Dr. B.N. Rau who compiled the initial draft that the assembly debated after taking inputs from constitutional experts at home and abroad<br>The Constitution was framed by the Constituent Assembly established under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946.

examples of ordinary rights available to us other than the fundamental rights? |
| Answer» An ordinary right generally imposes a corresponding duty on another individual (and, state in some cases) but a fundamental right is a right which an individual possess against the state.Fundamental rights are protected against invasion by the executive, legislature and the judiciary. All fundamental rights are limitations on legislative power. Laws and executive actions which abridge or are in conflict with such rights are void and ineffective.Our constitution guarantees the right to move the Supreme Court for the enforcement of fundamental rights. Thus the remedy itself is a fundamental right. This distinguishes it from other rights.The Supreme Court is the guardian of fundamental rights.Further, all constitution rights not fundamental rights e.g. right not to be subjected to taxation without authority of law (art. 265), right to property (art. 300a), and freedom of trade (art. 301). A fundamental right cannot be waived. An ordinary legal right can be waived by an individual | |

| Answer» \tIn several\xa0developed and poor nations the distribution of resources is extremely uneven & the disparities are of several dimensions: wages, education ,\xa0gender, caste, race, faith, religion, rural/urban and regional.

Mention some of the problems faced by the legislatures in India. |
| Answer» Challenges Faced by the ParliamentCriminalisation of PoliticsAccording to a report by the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), the proportion of legislators with criminal cases against them has continuously increased.It stood at 15% in the year 2009 moving to 19% in 2019.This has impacted the standards of democratic discussions, debate and dissent.Dominance of Archaic LawsIndia is a young nation but it is still ruled by old laws.For example, the police is governed by such colonial-era statutes as the Police Act of 1861, which predates independence by nearly a century.The archaic laws are inadequate in addressing contemporary challenges.Anti-Defection LawThe Anti-defection law (Tenth Schedule of the Constitution) states that the Speaker/Chairman of the legislature is the final authority to decide on the disqualification of a legislator.However, the role of the presiding officers has become increasingly politicized. Thereby creating doubts over Speaker\'s role vis-à-vis anti-defection law being biased, as recently seen in the Karnataka political crisis.Decline of Representative DemocracyAs per Anti-defection law, the legislators have to vote as per party whip. Due to this, legislators are compelled to vote on party lines irrespective of their local or regional interest.This has narrowed scope of democracy dissent and divergent views.India has first past the post electoral system, which means that candidates winning the highest number of votes gets elected.This leads to neglect of representation of voters who voted for another candidate.Also, this system of voting is not suitable for the representation of minorities, raising questions on representation.Only 14.3% (78) of the total members in the current parliament are women.All these factors taken together defeat the intended purpose of representative democracy. | |
| 2231. |
What is a non confidence motion? |
| Answer» According to no confidence motion, a vote or a statement is passed against a political leader(in terms of politics) that such person has failed to fulfil his/her promise or duty.

For example:- Recently, other political leader tried to dismiss the existing cabinet of BJP by saying that it failed to employ lakhs of people. But, this movement didn\'t get confidence by other political parties and hence the no confidence motion could not dismiss BJP.<br>A no-confidence motion can be moved by any member of the House. It can be moved only in the Lok Sabha and not Rajya Sabha. Rule 198 of the Rules of Procedure and conduct of Lok Sabha specifies the procedure for moving a no-confidence motion. | |
| 2232. |

Most often it refers to when both houses of a bicameral legislature sit together.\xa0If at the\xa0joint sitting\xa0of the two\xa0Houses, the\xa0Bill, with such amendments, if any, as are agreed to in\xa0joint sitting, is\xa0passed by\xa0a majority of the total number of members of\xa0both Houses\xa0present and voting, it shall be deemed to have been\xa0passed by both Houses. | |

What is the meaning of collective responsibility? How does the council of ministers work? |
| Answer» The fundamental principle underlying the working of the parliamentary system of government is the principle of collective responsibility. Article 75 clearly states that the council of ministers is\xa0collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. This means that all the ministers own joint responsibility to the Lok Sabha for all their acts of omission and commission. They work as a team and swim or sink together. When the Lok Sabha passes a no-confidence motion against the council of ministers, all\xa0the ministers have to resign including those ministers who are from the Rajya Sabha. The principle of collective responsibility also means that the Cabinet decisions bind all cabinet\xa0ministers (and other ministers) even if they differed in the cabinet meeting. It is the duty of every minister to stand by cabinet decisions and support them both within and outside the Parliament. | |

what is the power of prime minister and its role |
| Answer» There is no direct election to the post of the Prime Minister. The President appoints the Prime Minister. But the President cannot appoint anyone he likes. He appoints the leader of the majority party or the coalition of parties that commands a majority in the Lok Sabha, as Prime Minister. In case no single party or alliance gets a majority, the President appoints the person most likely to secure a majority support. The Prime Minister does not have a fixed tenure. He continues in power so long as he remains the leader of the majority party or coalition.\xa0Since the Prime Minister is the head of the government, he enjoys wide-ranging powers :\xa0(i) He chairs Cabinet meetings and coordinates the work of different Departments. His decisions are final in case disagreements arise between Departments.\xa0(ii) He exercises general supervision of different ministries. All ministers work under his leadership.\xa0(iii) The Prime Minister distributes and redistributes work to the ministers.\xa0(iv) He also has the power to dismiss ministers. When the Prime Minister quits, the entire ministry quits.\xa0Thus, the Prime Minister is the most powerful person within the Cabinet. | |

What are the ideas of supporters of free market Concept for Social Justice ? |
| Answer» In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are self-regulated by the open market and by consumers. In a free market, the laws and forces of supply and demand are free from any intervention by a government or other authority, and from all forms of economic privilege, monopolies and artificial scarcities. Proponents of the concept of free market contrast it with a regulated market in which a government intervenes in supply and demand through various methods such as tariffs used to restrict trade and to protect the local economy. In an idealized free-market economy, prices for goods and services are set freely by the forces of supply and demand and are allowed to reach their point of equilibrium without intervention by government policy.Scholars contrast the concept of a free market with the concept of a coordinated market in fields of study such as political economy, new institutional economics, economic sociology and political science. All of these fields emphasize the importance in currently existing market systems of rule-making institutions external to the simple forces of supply and demand which create space for those forces to operate to control productive output and distribution. Although free markets are commonly associated with capitalism within a market economy in contemporary usage and popular culture, free markets have also been advocated by anarchists, socialists and some proponents of cooperatives and advocates of profit sharing. | |
