Comment on the Objective Resolution of the Constituent Assembly in 150 words.
How the answer moves
The flow snapshot — the routes in, the body, the counter-view and the routes out.
Route 1 Nehru moves Resolution, 13 Dec 1946 → ideals fixed before drafting → philosophical foundation / moral charter of the Constitution
Route 2 Resolution as the Constitution’s soul → purpose set before a single Article written → opens Constitution-making as the nation defining itself
sovereign independent republic + democracy → justice: social, economic, political + equality of status & opportunity → freedoms: thought, expression, belief, faith, worship, vocation → safeguards for minorities, backward & tribal areas, depressed & backward classes → outward turn: Indian freedom tied to world peace & welfare of mankind → ideals not abandoned → reappear in Preamble, shape Fundamental Rights & Directive Principles
mere statement of lofty ideals / aspiration vs. ideals actually carried into the operative Constitution (Preamble, FRs, DPSPs)
Route 1 Constitution-making as social transformation, not only legal drafting
Route 2 Resolution as the guiding ideals the Constitution still carries
