Book Description
A unique experiment by the author through a fictional story parallelly suggests an essential review required in the Constitution of India to bring in positive changes in the interest of the world. Today's argument of Judiciary, Legislature and Executive is that they are one of the three pillars or arm or wing of Government i.e Constitution are ordinarily unquestionable. A number of instances where Thrimoorthis, so-called professionals would be better understood by the common man through the three wise monkeys of Mahatma Gandhi "being dumb, deaf and blind". In other words, see no justice, hear no complaints of citizens and speak no regulations “Executives don’t want to speak, Legislators don’t want to see and Judiciary doesn’t want to hear". Inclusiveness can happen if the present three pillars of the Constitution are revisited and find scope to incorporate other important aspects of life. Seven pillars namely Legislative, Judiciary, Executive, Health, Security, Education and Agriculture required to be given adequate representation while revising the Constitution to encourage the participation of the common man. In addition, the fictional story of a family brings out human values of compassion, devotion and service to society by guiding readers to find an answer to the purpose of life. “THE GREATNESS OF PROPOSED REVISION IS IN THE SPIRIT AND THE INTENTION OF CREATING WORLD LEADERS FOR THE SAFETY OF MANKIND” Surgeon Captain Anand (Retd) “Contribution from AdvaySvaraPrema and family members”

Book Description
Constitution: Why and How? The constitution of a country serves as the fundamental legal document that outlines the framework for governance, defines the rights and responsibilities of citizens, and establishes the powers and limitations of government institutions. Here’s why and how constitutions are essential: Why Constitutions Are Important: Rule of Law: Constitutions establish the rule of law by setting out the fundamental principles and norms that govern the behaviour of individuals, institutions, and the state itself. Protection of Rights: Constitutions typically include a bill of rights that guarantees fundamental freedoms and protections for citizens against government overreach or abuse of power. Structure of Government: They define the structure of government, including the separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and establish mechanisms for checks and balances. Legal Certainty: Constitutions provide legal certainty by setting out the procedures for making laws, resolving disputes, and ensuring continuity and stability in governance. Citizen Participation: They often outline mechanisms for citizen participation in governance, such as elections, referendums, and the right to petition the government. How Constitutions are Formed and Amended: Drafting: Constitutions are typically drafted by a constituent assembly, a constitutional convention, or a committee appointed for that purpose. Drafting involves extensive consultation, debate, and often public input. Adoption: Once drafted, a constitution may be adopted through a referendum, by a vote of a legislative body, or by other specified means depending on the legal and political context of the country. Amendment: Constitutions include provisions for their own amendment to adapt to changing circumstances. Amendments may require a special majority in the legislature, approval by referendum, or a combination of both. Interpretation: Courts play a crucial role in interpreting constitutional provisions and ensuring their enforcement. Constitutional courts or supreme courts often have the authority to strike down laws or government actions that are inconsistent with the constitution. Flexibility vs. Rigidity: Some constitutions are more flexible and allow for easier amendment, while others are more rigid and require more stringent procedures for change to ensure stability and protect fundamental principles. In essence, constitutions are foundational documents that establish the framework for government and the rights of individuals within a society. They embody the principles of democracy, rule of law, and human rights, shaping the political and legal landscape of a country for generations.

Revisiting India's Partition
Author: Amritjit Singh
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1498531059
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Revisiting India’s Partition: New Essays on Memory, Culture, and Politics brings together scholars from across the globe to provide diverse perspectives on the continuing impact of the 1947 division of India on the eve of independence from the British Empire. The Partition caused a million deaths and displaced well over 10 million people. The trauma of brutal violence and displacement still haunts the survivors as well as their children and grandchildren. Nearly 70 years after this cataclysmic event, Revisiting India’s Partition explores the impact of the “Long Partition,” a concept developed by Vazira Zamindar to underscore the ongoing effects of the 1947 Partition upon all South Asian nations. In our collection, we extend and expand Zamindar’s notion of the Long Partition to examine the cultural, political, economic, and psychological impact the Partition continues to have on communities throughout the South Asian diaspora. The nineteen interdisciplinary essays in this book provide a multi-vocal, multi-focal, transnational commentary on the Partition in relation to motifs, communities, and regions in South Asia that have received scant attention in previous scholarship. In their individual essays, contributors offer new engagements on South Asia in relation to several topics, including decolonization and post-colony, economic development and nation-building, cross-border skirmishes and terrorism, and nationalism. This book is dedicated to covering areas beyond Punjab and Bengal and includes analyses of how Sindh and Kashmir, Hyderabad, and more broadly South India, the Northeast, and Burma call for special attention in coming to terms with memory, culture and politics surrounding the Partition.

The Right to Education in India
Author: Florian Matthey-Prakash
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199097054
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
What does it mean for education to be a fundamental right, and how may children benefit from it? Surprisingly, even when the right to education was added to the Indian Constitution as Article 21A, this question barely received any attention. The book identifies justiciability—or, more broadly, enforceability—as the most important feature of Article 21A, meaning that children and their parents must be provided with means to effectively claim their right from the State; otherwise, it would remain a ‘right’ only on paper. The book highlights how lack of access to the Indian judiciary means that the constitutional promise of justiciability remains unfulfilled. It deals with the possible alternative means the State may provide for the poor to claim the benefits under Article 21A, and identifies the grievance-redress mechanism created by the ‘Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009’ as a potential system of enforcement. Even though this system is found to be deficient, the book concludes with an optimistic outlook, hoping that rights advocates may, in the future, focus on improving such mechanisms for legal empowerment.
