Question -

Do you agree with the statement that тАЬit 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 RightsтАЭ? Give reasons for your answer. What do you think are the possible reasons for putting socio-economic rights in the section on Directive Principles?



Answer -

Directive Principles of state policy focus on the need of an egalitarian society:

  1. These principles are complementary to fundamental rights because fundamental rights ensure the political democracy while these principles aim at social-economic democracy.
  2. Fundamental rights are justiciable or protected by law where directive principles are moral values supposed to be followed by the government.
  3. Hence, in a poor country, certain basic social-economic rights were inserted in directive principles rather than making it in the fundamental rights.
  4. Our country was so poor at that time, when it was not possible to give much pressure on the states for socio-economic moral values.
  5. Under Article 37 of Constitution, тАЬIt shall be the duty of the state to apply these principles in making lawsтАЭ.
  6. If any government overlooks these, it will lose confidence of people and cannot remain in power.
