    The Indian Constitution, adopted on January 26, 1950, has been instrumental in shaping India’s democratic framework and governance over the decades. Here are key points highlighting its success:

    1. **Democratic Governance**: The Constitution establishes India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic, providing a robust framework for governance through elected representatives and periodic elections.

    2. **Fundamental Rights**: It guarantees fundamental rights to citizens, including equality before law, freedom of speech and expression, and protection against discrimination, laying the foundation for a just and equitable society.

    3. **Directive Principles of State Policy**: These principles guide state policy towards securing social and economic justice, including provisions for education, health, and welfare of marginalized sections, aiming for a welfare state.

    4. **Federal Structure**: The Constitution establishes a federal structure with clear delineation of powers between the central government and states, fostering unity while respecting regional diversity.

    5. **Amendment Mechanism**: It provides for amendments to adapt to changing socio-economic conditions and aspirations of the people, ensuring flexibility and relevance over time.

    Despite successes, challenges remain, such as ensuring effective implementation of laws, addressing socio-economic disparities, and tackling corruption. Overall, the Indian Constitution’s resilience in upholding democratic values and fostering socio-economic development reflects its foundational success in guiding India as a pluralistic and dynamic nation.

    our constitution starts with “we the people of india” and highlights the basic structure of constitution with the words such as “Sovereignty, Secularism and Fraternity” in the preamble.

    SOVEREIGNTY

    We the people of India refers about Sovereignty of the people of India.

    • Sovereignty means the people of india is supreme and Govt. of India can exercise there power in entire territory of India, Sovereignty also means Government of India is not subordinate to any external agency whether it is Foreign Nation, United Nation etc.
    • We the people means constitution is for the people the people of india but people are not source of any power of government (Keshvanand Bharti case). logically means we the people of india are not entitle to make law or referendum for any act of Govt.

    Secularism

    Secular state is an extension of idea of equality and liberty, because liberty stand for freedom of choice including freedom of conscience and faith, Every citizen is free to choose his/her worship and constitution gives us freedom to profess, practice and propagate religion (Article 25)

    There is two model of secularism

    1. American model – Secular state is based complete detachment between state and religion, Therefore neither state is allowed in the activity of religion nor religion is allowed in the activity of state
    2. French model – Secular state separation is one sided where state is allowed to regulate activities of religion but not religion could.

    India is somewhere closer to French model of secularism because state is allowed to interfere in the religious activity but it also somewhere provide some autonomy to religion also. Indian model is based on the equal respect towards every religion, moreover (Article 29-30) gives special protection for the people belonging to minority community.

    Fraternity

    Equality and social justice are basic condition for the promotion of Fraternity among the people of india, it is an sprit of brotherhood among the citizens, Unity symbolises the physical and territorial unity but fraternity is a matter of psychological and emotional bond with the nation.

    • Armed forces are deployed for maintaining territorial unity but psychological unity/fraternity is essential for ensuring security of India.
    • Example – Recent violence in Manipur is greater challenge for the unity/integrity/fraternity of India.

    As we see the term Sovereignty, Secularism and Fraternity is the basic structure of our constitution and which cannot be amended by the act of parliament, as well as they are the basic feature of our constitution which allows inclusivity in our country.

    Hepatitis B and C Risk Factors

    Bloodborne
    -Sharing needles or syringes to inject drugs or for tattoos.
    -Receiving blood without screening (Though rare these days, thanks to the improvements of screening)
    -Dirty medical equipment while receiving a treatment
    Very rare as seen in other regions.
    Mother-to-Child: The newborn can receive it from a pregnant mother during childbirth if the mother has hepatitis B.

    Sexual Transmission:
    Unprotected sexual contact with an infected person.
    Having multiple sexual partners.

    Occupational Exposure:
    Healthcare workers, including doctors, nurses, and lab technicians, who handle blood or other bodily fluids.

    Factors Contributing to Challenges in Reducing Transmission:

    -Lack of awareness and education: Most individuals do not have information on hepatitis B and C risks and the modes of their transmission.

    -Discrimination and Stigma: Most infections lead to stigma that might prevent individuals from going for tests and treatment.

    Limited access to health care: Most individuals lack quality health care, including tests, vaccination, and treatment of hepatitis.

    -Poverty and Socioeconomic Factors: Poverty and socioeconomic inequalities increase the risk factors of hepatitis B and C, including unsafe injection practices and limited access to health care.

    -Inadequate Infrastructure: In some areas, inadequate healthcare infrastructure, including limited access to sterile equipment and trained healthcare workers, can contribute to the spread of these infections.

    Addressing these challenges requires a multi-pronged approach, including:

    -Public Health Campaigns: Public education on hepatitis B and C, their transmission, and prevention and treatment.
    Vaccination Programs: Wider access to hepatitis B immunization, especially among infants and other high-risk groups.
    Healthcare Access Increased: Improved access to quality health care, including diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis B and C infection.
    Socioeconomic Disparity Reduction: Poverty elimination and increasing education and access to and use of health care by deprived populations.

    -Harm reduction activities. Such activities may include needle exchange and syringe programmes for injecting drug users, thus reducing infections.
    -Stigma reduction. Promote stigma reduction campaigns that call upon people to come for testing and treatment without the fear of stigmatization.

    The “Manga Carta” of the Indian Constitution, Part III the fundamental rights ensured many rights like the Right to education.

    State is mandated by Article 21(A) and the Right to Education Act, of 2009, to provide free and compulsory education to all children of age six to fourteen years.

    Current government has also taken initiatives such as the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, which tries to transform the education system.

    For effective implementation at the grassroots level, some innovative ways are:

    • Digital literacy- for students & teachers to connect India digitally from top to bottom.
    • Public-Private partnership.
    • ‘Skill India’ initiative, skills are promoted through our current government to ensure children’s & nation’s futures are secured.
    • At junior schools, sports programs like ‘Khelo India‘ have been introduced to transform the tag ‘extra-curriculum’ into a ‘co-curriculum’ activity. This program gives the platform to all sections of students including rural areas to express their talent.

    Moreover, ‘Mid-day meal’ Schemes, the ‘Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan’ program, and ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao’ Schemes all have an effect at the grassroots level.

    The presumption of innocence is a fundamental right in Indian criminal law, enshrined in Article 20(3) of the Constitution. However, as an exception, preventive detention laws like the National Security Act (NSA) and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) allow for detention without trial, effectively reversing the burden of proof.

    These laws are justified on the grounds of national security and public order, as they aim to prevent individuals from engaging in activities that may threaten the state. The Supreme Court has upheld the constitutionality of preventive detention laws, provided they adhere to the procedural safeguards laid down in Article 22 of the Constitution.Laws like the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) have also been criticized for shifting the burden of proof onto the accused. While the government argues that these laws are necessary to combat serious crimes, civil liberties advocates contend that they undermine the presumption of innocence and due process.

    The increasing use of such laws raises concerns about the erosion of fundamental rights and the creation of a new norm where the exception becomes the rule. It is crucial to strike a balance between national security and individual rights, ensuring that preventive detention laws are used judiciously and in accordance with constitutional principles.

    The Parliament of India ensures accountability of the executive through various mechanisms aimed at enhancing transparency and oversight. First of all, the executive is headed by the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers, who are responsible to the Lok Sabha, Parliament’s Lower House. These shall, in turn, be enforced through a number of parliamentary procedures and practices. They can question ministers during the Question Hour, seek clarifications, and hold debates on various burning issues. It has also developed methods through its several committees, like the Public Accounts Committee and the Estimates Committee, whereby the Parliament dissects executive actions, in particular their expenditure and policy, and criticizes them when required. The Parliament can pass or may reject legislation introduced by the executive; thus, this will ensure that policies reflect legislative intent. No-confidence motion against the government can only be brought in to the Lok Sabha, and upon the passage, it can force the Prime Minister and the entire Council of Ministers to resign. In aggregate, all these processes ensure that the executive remains answerable to the elected representatives and, by extension, to the people of India.

    The LGBTQ+ community suffers greatly and is frequently the target of hate crimes committed not only in India but also worldwide. There is a significant percentage of hate and conceit against these minorities. Although a few of countries have formally acknowledged third gender and homosexuals as equal citizens. Only when there is political and economic justice can there be social justice. Since the 2010s, LGBTQ+ people in India have experienced an increase in societal acceptance and tolerance. Under the Transgender Person (Protection of Rights) Act of 2019, the right to self-perceived gender identity is recognised. When a certificate from a qualified medical professional is received, government organisations can issue new identification documents verifying a gender transition.

    The Indian Constitution ensures the independence of the judiciary through several key provisions. For example

    . Judges of the Supreme Court and High Courts can only be removed through a rigorous process of impeachment, which requires a two-thirds majority in both Houses of Parliament on grounds of proven misbehavior or incapacity. This safeguards judges from arbitrary removal.

    . The appointment of judges to the Supreme Court and High Courts is done by the President, based on the recommendations of the collegium system.

    The conditions of service, including salaries and allowances of judges, are fixed and cannot be changed after appointment, as per “Article 125” for Supreme Court judges and “Article 221” for High Court judges. This provision ensures financial security and autonomy.

    . The judiciary has the power of judicial review under Article 13, allowing it to take down laws and executive actions that violate the Constitution. This ensures the supremacy of the Constitution.

    .  Article 50 of the  Directive Principles of State Policy mandates the separation of the judiciary from the executive in public services.
