Content Provider	Press Information Bureau : Kolkata
Organization	The Planning Commission, Government of India
Description	On November 26, 1949, a Constituent Assembly representing all sections of the people of India adopted a constitution for the country. The same law came into force on January 26, 1950. The Constitution declares India to be a sovereign democratic republic. It rests on four pillars: justice (social, economic and political); liberty (of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship); equality (of status as well as of opportunity); and fraternity (assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of the nation). The Constitution affirms its faith in democracy and believes that it would be possible and desirable to achieve that under that form of political organization. The object of this book is to study the laws relating to women and children, social defence and handicapped groups. An attempt is made here to present in one place and in a simple form the laws on these subjects as they stand, so that any one interested may judge for himself as to how far they are adequate for the present social and economic objectives of the nation.
