Indians have made major contributions to science, technology, and the arts throughout the past century, which has had a huge impact on the nation’s socioeconomic progress and raised its stature internationally.
The basis for India’s scientific dominance was established by individuals such as C.V. Raman, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1930, and Homi J. Bhabha, who initiated the country’s nuclear program. The “Missile Man,” A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, was instrumental in India’s missile development and space research efforts, which resulted in the successful completion of the Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan) in 2014. Pioneers like N.R. Narayana Murthy (Infosys) led the IT revolution, which turned India into a global center of technology and produced millions of jobs while bolstering the country’s economy.
With directors like Satyajit Ray and artists like Ravi Shankar garnering international renown, Indian cinema, and especially Bollywood film, has emerged as a major global cultural force. M.F. Husain and Amrita Sher-Gil have also had a significant influence on world art.
These successes have increased India’s influence internationally in addition to stimulating economic growth. India’s technological and artistic breakthroughs have established the country as a pioneer in innovation and cross-cultural interchange, which has helped it become a significant player in the world economy.

The changes which have been introduced in the Indian Constitution in the recent past have shifted the balance of federal landscape and administration further to the Centre. For example, the Centre abrogated Article 370 in August 2019 and bifurcated Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories, which made most of the state’s autonomy nugatory, reporting directly to New Delhi. This was a particularly clear sign of a more active and dominant policy on the part of the central government in relation to the states, especially in matters of a federal character. For instance, while the 101st amendment in 2017 has integrated GST, it has necessitated the centralisation of tax collections. While this aided in the process of tax simplification it restricted the autonomy of the states on fiscal policy and made them more dependent on central grants. These changes have impacted local governance by reducing the ability and capacity of the state government to tackle issues that are local or peculiar to any region. Battles over centralization of power occurred concerning the loss of control over the economy and the management of specific regions, and the consequences of this for variation and autonomy of states. In this regard the change has generated questions on the efficiency of regional governance structures and capacity of states to address population needs where there is no adequate decentralization.

The decision to revoke Article 370 of the Constitution of India, which conferred a degree of self-governance to the territory of Jammu and Kashmir, was a constitutional and political decision. On August 5, 2019, the Government of India, through a Presidential Order (C.O. 272) and a resolution in Parliament revoked Article 370 taking away the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
Article 370 let Jammu and Kashmir have its own constitution and control all affairs concerning the state apart from few important ones such as defense, external affairs, and communications. The abrogation was done by exercising the powers under Article 370 (3) whereby the President could adapt or suspend the operation of Article 370 with the consent of the state’s constituent assembly. Since the dissolution of the Jammu and Kashmir Constituent Assembly in 1957, the Government contended that the powers of the Constituent Assembly were invested in the Jammu and Kashmir State Legislative Assembly and subsequently in the Parliament because of lack of state assembly.
Even Article 367 that concerns the interpretation of the Constitution was also changed in order to enable the abrogation. This amendment reinterpreted the terms used in Article 370, allowing the President to act without the concurrence of the Jammu and Kashmir government, thereby enabling the revocation of the state’s special status and its reorganization into two Union Territories: Jammu & Kashmir, and Ladakh.

This judgment of basic structure doctrine in the case of Kesavananda Bharathi Sripadagalvaru & Ors v State of Kerala & Anr (1973) was a landmark judgement to determine the change of subsequent constitutional amendments in the country of India. It holds that while the Parliament can alter the Constitution, the fundamental framework or Character of Constitution, meaning the principles of democracy, secularism, federal structure, and the rule of law cannot be removed by the Parliament.
This doctrine restricts the Parliament which is advantageous to preserve the pure form of the constitution. It also helps the judiciary to scrutinize the amendments and set them aside if they are against the spirit of the Constitution, as in the case of Minerva Mills v. Union of India (1980) connected with the 42nd Amendment.
Consequently, as per the basic structure, the doctrine shields the rights from gradual erosion by amendments while maintaining the Constitution’s stability. It also maintains a proper balance with the legislative branch to ensure that one does not encroach on the powers of the other and dilute key constitutional provisions. Altogether, the basic structure doctrine has come out as a very effective tool in the quest to safeguard the framework of the constitution in India.

Constitutional government is inherently a limited government and basic upon the constitution that defines and limits the government’s authority. In India, The Constitution serves as the country’s highest law; it describes the organization and powers of the state and its constraints. This avoids the accumulation of power by any branch of government such as the executive, the legislative or the judiciary since each branch has its own sphere of operation as is provided by the constitution.
The principles of limited government in operation within India include the principle of checks and balances under which the three arms of government conduct their own businesses in their own ways but are also tied to the other arms by certain healthy constraints. Fundamental Rights remains important in the Constitution as they serve to protect people’s freedoms against the state’s encroachment. The judiciary as a branch is capable of overturning laws or actions with the use of the judicial act that undermines the constitutional point, which also narrows down the executive branch powers. Furthermore, the US federalism system decentralizes power between the federal government and the 50 states, all under the presidency of Joe Biden.
By so doing, the limited government has the role of safeguarding the people from absolutism and anything that might compromise the exercise of government in a way that is transparent, accountable, and just. To that extent, by limiting the powers of the government, the Constitution guards against tyranny and maintains the pre-eminence of the rule of law and democratic processes through the encouragement of responsible government for the people.
