Question -
Answer -
In the above mentioned conversation of three people focused whether the working of our Constitution is fruitful or not:
(a)
- Indian Constitution is a document consisting the supreme and fundamental laws of country about powers, functions and structures of the government.
- Constitution also shows that how the organs of government are interrelated with each other as well as the relationship between the government and its citizens.
- In the Preamble of Constitution, India has been declared A Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic Republic to provide social, economic and political justice to all the citizens along with introduction of universal adult franchise also. But in practice Indian democracy is suffering from various social and economic evils which have proved a curse.
(b)
- Equality and freedom of citizens is disturbed on the basis of some unconstitutional activities.
- Though the provisions for free and fair elections have been made even then money and muscle power is prevailing everywhere.
- Sometimes political leaders are found to belong to criminal background and some play the politics of vote bank.
- The judiciary has to interfere in the functioning of executive and legislatures,
- Various problems are still being faced by country, i.e. terrorism, naxalism, communal riots, etc.
Hence, we agree with the position of Neha that the goals which were supposed to be achieved through Constitution, has not still been achieved due to above mentioned facts, so we can say that the Constitution has failed to fulfill the needs of the individuals.
(c)
- We have failed the Constitution because we have not applied our sincere efforts towards citizens’ welfare properly.
- Corruption has taken place in public and private sector both, this is not only due to representatives but the citizens are not vigilant and dutiful also.
- The citizens are also supposed to be active in public affairs and to support other citizens in the exercise of the rights and discharge of obligations.
- The citizens should get themselves educated to curb social and economic inequality to implement the Constitution. Hence, it can be concluded that Constitution has not failed us but we have failed the Constitution due to our negligence towards our rights and duties
