Do not compare nation with nation states

हम कथा सुनाते राम सकल गुणधाम की, ये रामायण है पुण्य कथा श्री राम की ।

जम्बुद्विपे भरत खंडे आर्यावर्ते भारतवर्षे,
एक नगरी है विख्यात अयोध्या नाम की,
यही जन्म भूमि है परम पूज्य श्री राम की,
हम कथा सुनाते राम सकल गुणधाम की, ये रामायण है पुण्य कथा श्री राम की ।

One nation, one election plan: How the Constitution is amended, when do states get a say 🔗
#explained_law #express_explained

The Constituent Assembly debated extensively on whether the Constitution should be flexible or rigid. The British constitution is considered flexible, as it can be amended by Parliament passing a law in the same manner in which it would pass any ordinary legislation. On the other hand, the United States Constitution cannot be amended without the ratification of at least three fourths of the individual states.

✅Why the education system needs reforms ?

The system of education at the time was “designed to meet the needs of all imperial administration within the limitations set by a feudal and traditional society, [and] will need radical changes if it is to meet the purposes of a modem democratic and socialistic society.”

However, there are still significant gaps that need to be addressed.

✔️ First, the definition of literacy is wide – referring to a person aged seven and above, who can both read and write with understanding in any language. And within this, while the literacy rate was 82.14 for males, it was at 65.46 for females. There are also wide regional variations: Kerala had a 93.91 per cent literacy rate while Bihar stood at 63.82 per cent.

#explained_politics #express_explained

✅What are autonomous hill (or district) councils?

✔️ When the British took over the-then Assam, their imposition of formal laws on the land was resisted ferociously by tribal populations living in the hills, who had their own customary laws. To avoid confrontation — as they were only interested in economic exploitation of the region — the British divided the hill regions of Assam into “excluded” and “partially excluded” areas through the Government of India Act, 1935. In these areas, federal or provincial laws would not apply until the governor felt they were needed for peace and development.
The ostensible aim of the provision was to allow tribal populations to govern themselves.

✅How was it adopted in the Constitution?

The Sixth Schedule was adopted under Article 244 of the Constitution with provisions for formation of autonomous administrative divisions within a state. These divisions, in the form of ADCs, were granted certain legislative, judicial and administrative autonomy within the state.

हमारे यहां विष्णु पुराण में कहा गया है-

उत्तरं यत् समुद्रस्य हिमाद्रेश्चैव दक्षिणम्।
वर्षं तद् भारतं नाम भारती यत्र सन्ततिः ।।

यानि समुद्र के उत्तर में और हिमालय के दक्षिण में जो देश है उसे भारत कहते हैं तथा उनकी संतानों को भारतीय कहते हैं।
