Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
The Constitution is a living and organic document. It cannot remain static and must grow with the nation. The Constitutional provisions have to be construed broadly and liberally having regard to the changed circumstances and the needs of time and polity. India is a democratic country with a written Constitution. Rule of Law is the basis for governance of the country and all the administrative structures are expected to follow it in both letter and spirit. It is expected that Constitutionalism is a natural corollary to governance in India and a mechanism to enforce social justice. Social Justice as a concept is based on equal distribution of Justice. Social Justice as a concept in India is related most specifically with equal distribution of rights without discrimination of gender, caste, creed or economic status. The purpose of social justice is to maintain or to restore equilibrium in the society and to envisage equal treatment of equal persons in equal or essentially equal circumstances. The social solidarity was to be brought about by the concept of social justice. In Preamble, articles, amendments it finds place significantly in the Preamble, Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy. The leaders of India‟s freedom movement visualized that in the new dispensation following political freedom, the people should have the fullest opportunity for advancement in the social and economic spheres and that the state should make suitable provisions for ensuring such process.
