The Constitution<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

The Constituent Assembly consisted of the tallest leaders of the time and stalwarts from different professions and sections of society, the like of which we are yet to see again. The Assembly drafted our Constitution with utmost care. Constitutions cannot work by themselves. They have to be worked.<\/p>\n

How did we work our Constitution during the last six decades? Have we achieved the objectives set out in the inspiring Preamble, namely, Justice \u2014 social, economic and political; Liberty of thought, expression and belief; Equality of status and of opportunity and promotion of Fraternity among all citizens, assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the nation? Have our Parliament and State Legislatures enacted laws applying the directive principles of State policy set out in Part IV of the Constitution, which are declared fundamental in the governance of the country? Have we imparted free and compulsory education to every child below the age of 14 years, if not within 10 years stipulated by the framers, at least by now after 60 years? Have we secured the right to adequate means of livelihood to men and women, taken care of their food, shelter and health? Have we provided work to every adult? Have we protected women and children from exploitation? Have we promoted with special care the educational and economic interests of the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections of the people? Have we promoted fraternity among all citizens? Have we improved the conditions and quality of life of the have-nots? Have we been able to maintain law and order and ensure peace and security? Has the judiciary been able to dispense speedy justice? In short, have the three organs of the State, the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary redeemed in a substantial measure the solemn promises made during the freedom struggle and incorporated in the Constitution? We have made some progress, but not enough. As a result, the institutions of governance have been losing their credibility.<\/p>\n
