The Constitution of India

The Constitution of India (Hindi: भारतीय़ संविधान, see names in other Indian languages) is the supreme law of India. It lays down the framework defining the fundamental political principles, establishing the structure, procedures, powers and duties, of the government and spells out the fundamental rights, directive principles and duties of citizens. Passed by the Constituent Assembly on November 26, 1949, it came into effect on January 26, 1950. It declares The Union of India to be a sovereign, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty; the words "socialist" and "secular" were added to the definition in 1976 by constitutional amendment. India celebrates the adoption of the constitution on January 26 each year as Republic Day. It is the longest written constitution of any independent nation in the world, containing 395 articles , 12 schedules and 83 amendments, for a total of 117,369 words in the English language version. Besides the English version, there is an official Hindi translation. Being the supreme law of the country, every law enacted by the government must conform to the constitution. Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar is considered the Chief Architect of the Indian Constitution.

@postwala

who said that brother...

socialist doesnt means non religious or communist maxsist....

socialism means equality to all

[postwala]

@postwala Let me correct the above for the sake of eccentric idiot.

Replace "this way" with "As it is now"

[postwala]

@zanuantony Once you are a socialist....you can never have the rest.

[postwala]

@motioneccentrica Also Corruption is an effect but not natural effect, its the govt policy where a few people decide what the rest of people need which then leads to favoritism and corruption.

Its the principle that you as a human being rather than striving to be independent depend and beg govt for everything that you are supposed to do yourself that makes us sacrifice our freedoms to kings, dictators, communists etc. Ask for liberty, you will have competition and you wont have corruption.

[postwala]

@motioneccentrica Go through the entire comment, the last sentence only summarised the existing situation in India where corruption has become acceptable. Rather than you dealing with it emotionally I gave solutions that I thougt are good solutions against corrution. Not Only eccentric but you are a genuinely arrogant bastard and defensive crib. go cry somewhere else.

@motioneccentrica

Read the constitution of India.. you will understand why I am offended by that retarded document. Mostly because it gives a semblance of legitimacy to the systematic oppression that is the Indian government, because most Indians do not know what their constitution says or does not say. e.g. according to it, a human being has no right to justice, to live or to defend himself. It is purely a dream scheme to RULE over people unfortunately enough to be born in India.

@utubehayter

I dont understand why your offended, if you have a differing viewpoint I would love to hear it maybe I would learn something. Its called discourse. Its called being an adult.

Ignorance is bliss.. live in it. But don't forget who your bosses are.

@utubehayter

Also we are having a theoretical argument about philosophies, why would I bring up numbers and stats, there is no relevance. Also America doesnt give us money, perhaps some AID, but I doubt that we would qualify

A] Indians being the richest minority in Amercia.

B] Country with the second highest growing economy and GDP.

Corporate Culture is stuffing our wallets with money, they will also take it all back, bleed us dry just like they did America, and move on to their next nation.

@utubehayter

Actually yes, as soon as you set foot in America, the constitution applys to you, almost entirely.

You bring up the right to bear arms, why would you want that, India is lucky in that we lack gun violece as compared to other countries, hell a lot of our law enforcement dont have guns, why do you want to raise the stakes?

Right to Privacy? Just to remind you, we are a collectivist nation with an emphasis on community, besides can you tell me that privacy is a huge issue in India?NO
