Upholding the Constitution is a duty of every citizen from "summary" of Constitution of India by Fali S. Nariman
The Constitution of India is not merely a legal document; it is much more than that. It is the supreme law of the land, the foundation upon which our democracy stands. It outlines the rights and duties of citizens, the powers of the government, and the framework within which our nation functions. Upholding the Constitution is not just the duty of the government or the judiciary; it is a duty that every citizen must take upon themselves.
As citizens of India, we are bound by the principles and values enshrined in the Constitution. We must respect its provisions, follow its laws, and uphold its spirit in our everyday lives. This means obeying the laws of the land, respecting the rights of others, and working towards the common good. It also means being vigilant against any attempts to undermine the Constitution or erode the principles of democracy.
The Constitution guarantees us certain rights and freedoms, but it also imposes certain responsibilities on us. We have a duty to uphold the principles of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity that are at the core of our Constitution. We must strive to create a society that is just, inclusive, and democratic, where every citizen is treated with dignity and respect.
Upholding the Constitution is not always easy. It requires us to stand up for what is right, even when it is difficult or unpopular. It requires us to be vigilant against any threats to our democratic institutions and to speak out against injustice and oppression. It requires us to be active and engaged citizens, participating in the democratic process and holding our elected representatives accountable.
In the words of Dr. B.
R. Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, "We must stand by the Constitution as the sheet anchor of our lives." Upholding the Constitution is not just a duty; it is a privilege and a responsibility. It is a way of honoring the ideals and values that our nation was founded upon, and ensuring that they endure for future generations. As citizens of India, it is our duty to uphold the Constitution in all its glory and to strive towards building a more just and inclusive society for all.
