Opening · a definition
The Constitution of India reflects a shared vision of Indian society based on progressive, humanistic, inclusive ideals.
Body · continuous prose
The constitutional philosophy intended a social transformation in Indian society → secularism in place of religious intolerance, fundamental rights over suppression of civil liberties, democratic socialism over exploitative capitalism, abolition of untouchability, reservation/affirmative action to reverse caste based historical injustices, abolition of titles to bring social equality, decentralisation of power through PRIs in place of centralised decision making, fundamental duties of citizens toward maintaining social harmony, respecting women, educating wards, etc in place of irresponsible citizenry.
Close · a summary
The Constitution has thus become a living document of social change as its universalistic humanistic ethos is timeless and envisions a social order based on principles on egalitarianism, rationality, justice, true liberty, social harmony, meritocratic respect, just inclusive economic order, and humanism in the everyday way of living.
