Indian Constitutional Provisions of Weaker Sections in India

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of the Indian Constitution’s provisions on the upliftment and empowerment of the weaker sections of society in our country. It seeks to promote socio-political justice for these communities in India. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to improving the lives of marginalized groups. The study emphasizes that a true welfare state is one that actively looks after the well-being of all its citizens. It argues that economic growth should not result in the concentration of wealth among a select few but should serve the common good. The study believes that economic growth does not mean the concentration of economic benefits in the hands of a few people in the community but should aim at the common good. This paper describes how the Indian Constitutional provision has seriously assured all its citizens justice-social, economic, and political; liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship; equality of status and of opportunity; and promoted among all communities assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of the nation, especially the weaker sections of the people. The study highlighted that the provisions of the Indian Constitution have endeavored to adapt the specifically differing rights like socio-economic justice and individual liberty and fundamental rights by putting some relevant provisions for the empowerment of the weaker section in the country.
