Are Politicians Running for Rights or Recognition?

When the Constitution of India was written, the principal aim was to establish political democracy in the new India. But the social and economic concepts were not aloof from the Constitution. The makers of our Constitution were very well aware of the fact that a democratic country won't survive without strong pillars. In order to establish a welfare state, providing socio-economic justice to the people is equally important. By keeping this in mind, the Constitution laid down some principles and guidelines in Part IV of the Constitution known as the Directive Principle of State Policy.  Directive Principles are based on Nehru-Gandhi principles. It is the amalgamation of Nehruvian imagination of socialistic patterns and the Gandhian model of decentralization along with the Uniform Civil Code.
