The constitution rests on 7 basis principles that are popular sovereignty, limited government,separation of powers,federalism,checks and balances,republicanism and individual rights.The constitution of India is the supreme law of India.The goals of the constitution of India:Resolve to proclaim India as an independent sovereign Republic,To establish a democratic union with an equal level of self government for all the constituent parts,All power and authority of the union government and governments of the constituent parts are derived from the people.Equality is the heart of Indian Constitution.The constitution aims at preparing citizens with greater consciousness on rights and duties and citizens who believe in making India a vibrant democracy.Equality means everyone is equal under law,and subject to the same laws irrespective of his or her religion in the west.In contrast,in India,the word secular means thorough-going separation of religion and state.Equality is life of Indian Constitution.As long as right to life and right to equality are not diluted,India remains secular by law inspite of certain legal inequalities.Mere deletion of the word secular from preamble will not remove secularism from India.But as long as women of different religion face discrimination,and laws that discriminate places of worship exist,the claim of secularism cannot be genuine.Indian constitution becomes secular only if that missing equality is introduced.
