Liberal-Intellectual Principles in DPSP

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Embodies modern democratic ideals: uniform civil code (Article 44), separation of the judiciary from the executive (Article 50), promotion of international peace (Article 51), and providing free legal aid (Article 39A). It mirrors Enlightenment values, encouraging rational governance structures and respect for global cooperation. Though not enforceable, these directives shape national discourse—debates on a uniform civil code illustrate the dynamic interplay between cultural rights and liberal modernity. Collectively, these principles guide legislation toward transparency, fairness, and universal brotherhood in line with the Constitution’s progressive aspirations.
