Constitution Preamble is Great: Justice Dipak Mishra

Former Chief Justice of India takes a refresher course on the Preamble of the Constitution

Former Chief Justice of India, Justice Dipak Mishra spoke to the students of Lloyd Law College at length in a webinar; reminded them of the ethos of the Preamble.

IMPACT FEATURE
When you buy any product, it usually comes with a user manual- the dos and don’ts. The how-to-fix-its and the what-to-expect-out-of-its that prepare you and help you easily navigate through the usage. Democracies also come with their user manuals- a set of rules and guidelines that help you make sense in chaos, hold your hand, and lead the way. The Indian Constitution, that came into force in 1950, is one such document that used the best from democracies around the world to create a social and legal structure that captures the ethos of this country. But its heart lies in its Preamble.
During a live webinar organized by Lloyd Law College, Greater Noida, Hon’ble Mr. Justice Dipak Misra, Former Chief Justice of India spoke to the students at length and reminded the future upholders of the free and fair judiciary in India of ‘The Spirit and Ethos of the Preamble to the Constitution’.
Justice Mishra spoke about how the Preamble is the heart of the great organic document that is the Constitution of India. Highlighting how it encapsulates the aspirations of the people and identifies the nature of the State that the Constitution intends to have, he emphasized how it also epitomizes the fundamental philosophy of an egalitarian society and a progressive nation. The words of the Preamble are simultaneously metaphysical and practical, and lay down the objectives upon which the foundation of this country was laid.
Revisiting the pillars of the Indian Constitution, Justice Mishra reminded the students that the Preamble, as it now stands, defines India as a sovereign, socialist, secular and democratic republic committed to giving its citizens justice, equality, liberty and fraternity with each of the words specifying the realm in which the said virtue must operate. Justice is in the sphere of social, economic and political; liberty is ensured in the realm of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship; equality is assured when it comes to the sphere of status and opportunity and fraternity promotes the dignity of individual and the unity and integrity of the nation.
“As I read the Preamble from time to time, it is not static. It encapsulates and incorporates the generational spirit that always remains in the indestructible present. To explicate, “We the people” is not a time-bound concept but a representative concept of the constant present and it includes the past and the future as well”, he said.
Apart from several other cases, Justice Mishra also cited the famous Indira Sawhney case wherein it was said that four-fold objectives are meant to secure to the citizen's justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. They display statesmanship of the highest order and the Preamble of the Constitution of India is the sentiment and key of the minds of the Constitution framers. This judgement is important because it is here that, for the first time, the Court, in clear words, said that the Preamble is the basic feature of the Constitution as it promises equality of opportunity and dignity to its citizens and ensures the State to take positive steps under Articles 15(4) and 16(4) of the Constitution of India.
Breaking down the other important terms in the Preamble, Justice Mishra explained what it means to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic.
  1. Sovereign: All power emanates from the people and the political system is accountable and responsible only to the people of this country
  2. Socialism: Meant to secure to all the people of the State people socio-economic justice by the interplay of Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy
  3. Secular: Though this term is not defined anywhere in the Constitution of India, it means that the State will have no religion and not that the State will be anti-religious or atheistic State
  4. Democratic Republic: Two words that will have to be read in a holistic manner. Democracy is a multi-faceted system; it refers to the political participation of the people in running the administration of the Government. It describes the State affairs and rule of law under which every citizen is assured the right to equal participation in the body polity.
  5. Justice: A natural concept which includes:
  • Societal justice: Abolition of inequality from society
  • Political Justice: Extinction of unreasonable distinction in political matters of the State
  • Economic Justice: Ensuring equal pay for equal work; also, equal opportunity
  1. Liberty and Fraternity: Liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship; the right to express one’s choice and choose. However, liberty and freedom are not absolute. Any fetter put on liberty must be absolutely constitutionally valid. Fraternity emphasizes dignity and brotherhood. There can be dissent, there can be a difference of opinion, but there cannot be abuse.
Justice Mishra concluded the session by leading the students on a pledge to remain loyal to the noble ideology enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution, thereby reminding us all of why the Constitution and its Preamble is considered almost sacred in this country.

Business schools waive of Application Fee

Covid-19: Top business schools waive off application fee

May 20, 2020
The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has forced several top business schools to suspend their standard requirements for new admissions like waiving off application fees. Students who do not have a GMAT score are also being considered by some prestigious institutions such as Oxford, Imperial and London Business School.
While many universities are not expecting students to take GMAT, some such as Oxford and LBS say the students will have to submit the missing test scores at a later date. Universities have also extended the deadline for the submission of applications and some have also announced waiving off application fees.
An education counsellor Karan Gupta told ToI that foreign universities are taking up several measures to ensure quality students to join their courses for the August and January terms. “The pandemic has affected the number of enrolments and universities are ensuring all ways to get qualified students,” he said.
Carey Business School issued a statement that said that the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School has made changes to its MBA admissions process owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. “Carey will accept incomplete applications for the Round 3 deadline and will work with applicants individually to complete their applications. Carey has added a Round 4 with a deadline of June 1. Following Round 4, applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through July 15. Carey is offering GMAT/GRE waivers moving forward,” it read.
UC-Berkeley is now admitting last year’s undergraduate students for MBA programme without GMAT score or work experience. The Harvard Business School has been holding discussions to increase the class size. Those with an active GME or GMAT score are eligible for application fee waiver at the Penn State Smeal College of Business. University of Bath has also waived off application fee and does not require GMAT score, which was anyway never a mandated criteria but was recommended. Aston, Exeter and Nottingham universities also do not require GMAT for their MBA programme for the new academic year.

No online classes to KG Kids

No online classes for kindergarten: Karnataka Education Minister

May 18, 2020
The Karnataka education minister S Suresh Kumar said strict action will be taken against the schools that are conducting online classes for kindergarten students. Calling it a ‘greed’, the minister said that he has been receiving several complaints about schools conducting online classes for kindergarten kids.
“I have spoken to the education commissioner on the matter, and he agrees that it is not right. Children at LKG age don’t have a syllabus that can be taught online. Besides, parents should not be forced to purchase laptops for their wards,” he said at a press briefing held recently. He also tweeted, “Why should schools conduct online classes for LKG and UKG students? This is just greed. The Education department will take action against such schools.” 
As it is still unclear when the schools would reopen, many schools have switched to online classes, even for kindergarten kids. Teachers say it is being done so that schools can earn more money. A teacher told NewsMinute that schools are sending notices to parents to pay the fee and start taking online classes as otherwise, their wards will not be promoted to the next level. Teachers say it is difficult to hold attention of such young kids while they are at home and parents too need to be present during this ‘useless exercise’.
Parents also find it difficult to be present throughout the sessions as they are also juggling between their office work and household chores. They worry that their kids might forget the letters and numbers if they do not practice it regularly. They also think the online sessions keep their kids engaged in activities other than watching television and sleeping. But they also think that online classes do not work for the very young kids as they need extra attention, otherwise they get bored and start playing with their toys
