Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Though non-justiciable, DPSPs guide states to secure a welfare-oriented economy—minimizing inequalities, ensuring fair distribution of resources, and protecting labor rights. Post-1991 liberalization saw big reforms, but Articles 38, 39, and 43 remain moral compasses for inclusive growth. Policies like MNREGA, land reforms, and progressive taxation are partially inspired by these principles. Courts sometimes interpret fundamental rights in harmony with DPSPs to uphold socio-economic entitlements (e.g., food security). Critics point out that market-centric policies can overshadow socialist goals. Still, integrating DPSPs into reform agendas helps maintain a balance between free-market efficiencies and the Constitution’s egalitarian aspirations.
