Gandhian Social Justice in the Contemporary Indian Constitution: An Analysis

Abstract

India is a vast, multifaceted country with over a billion people, and a rich cultural history. It has extreme poverty, and social suffering, and many women are repressed while being actively engaged in politics, science, and the arts. Many traditions, including Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Parsism, Sikhism, Islam, and Western ideals, had an impact on India's cultural life. In India, the scientific fields of sociology, social philosophy, and ethics are expanding quickly with the goal of comprehending society, and human nature. Through the establishment of perceptions of Indian life found in trip essays, experience literature, diaries, memoirs, and personal notes, sociology offers an objective image of Indian society. In India, civil society has emerged from the millennia-old social traditions, and the relationship between contemporary theoretical introspection, and an intricate philosophical heritage. The equitable connection between people, and society, involving possibilities for private endeavour, advantages in society, and income distribution, is referred to as social justice. To guarantee equitable income distribution, equal chances, and equal results, it distributes rights and obligations in society institutions which includes taxes, social insurance, public health, public services, labour law, and market regulation. This essay seeks to elucidate Gandhiji's social justice philosophy. Index Terms— Indian Constitution, Social Justice, Gandhian Philosophy of Social Justice
