In school we read in our civics book all about democracy, it's pillar and its branches and its important. However the real question as how much have be learnt from it?
Our democracy is completely dependent on our Indian constituation and as we are well aware that our constitution has been made under the leadership of the United kingdoms who has colonized India and ruled upon is for more than 200 years. Finally, after more than 70 years of Independence we have taken the amazing step to change are laws such as IPC, CrPC, Indian Evidence Act, etc. And introduced are own laws. Though there is not much difference between the former and the later. This shows that how much brainwashing has been done on Indians to have such a structured society where even when we move forward toward a new system of law it is completely influence by same old British regulations.
Equality is one such fundamental principle of our constitution which is non amendable.
There are two types of equality one is equality before law and second is social equality that is no discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, caste or status.
Unfortunately, on the ground level we are not able to see any type of equality being granted to the Indian citizen. The Judiciary of India is said to be the Independent body from the other two horizontal branches of democracy that is legislature and executive which are interdependent.
Justice refers to get fair and impartial treatment towards all individual. It ensures that laws are made and implemented in a fair manner. The judicial system is Independent and access able to all and social and economic justice is promoted by reducing inequality and protecting the weak.
Equality and Justice go hand in hand because without equality democracy cannot serve justice to everyone and without justice equality cannot be granted to the people who are deprived of it.
Our Indian constitution provide us with 6 fundamental rights:-
1. Right to Equality
2. Right to freedom of speech and expression.
3. Right against exploitation.
4. Education and cultural right.
5. Right to religion.
6. Right to constitutional remedies.
With this the first fundamental right ensure our equality. And the last fundamental right which is right to constitutional remedies make sure that justice is served to everyone who approaches the court.
