Secular character of the Constitution, Federal character of the Constitution, separation of power between legislature, executive and judiciary, unity and integrity of the nation, sovereign character of India, judicial review. Okay. Parliamentary system, rule of law, freedom and dignity of the individual, mandate to build a welfare state, harmony and balance between fundamental rights and DPS, effective access to justice, principle of equality, independence of judiciary, limited power of the parliament to amend the constitution, free and fair election, author No no no no no no there has to be a surprise element there is no list of the basic structure basments total basure structure then well and good. Okay. So that is all about what basic structure of Indian constitution point clear. Okay.
Superior of constitution, republic and democratic form of government. Secular secularism, India to be a secular country, federal character, separation of power, then unity and integrity of the nation, sovereignity characteristics, judicial review, parliamentary system, rule of law, freedom and dignity of the individual. Article 14, Article 19, 21.

Balance, effective access to the justice effective access, independency of the judiciary, principle of equality under article 14, limited power of the parliament to amend the constitution and free and fair election. These are the basic structure. Okay. So maybe tomorrow questions basic structure that's it all about the basic structure of the Indian constitution. Now this chapter is not so important okay India system of the government is not important for the prelims point of view because government system executive legislature and judiciary.
Okay.
State government then there is a local self government. So I'm directly going to the preamble of the Indian constitution. Okay. So preamble of the Indian constitution. Preamble simple.
We the people of India we have solemnly resolved to constitute India into country.
completely independent without any bias that is called a sovereignity. So is a India is a sovereign country and India is a socialist country. socialist for example.
Okay.
socialist country secular dharma.
There is no official religion of India.
However, India acknowledges all the religion. So there is a concept of Indian secularism and western secularism. Western secularism they do not have any official religion. They do not acknowledge any religion. Religion is a personal affair.
Contribution, help in kind or finance.
So that is secularism. Okay. But we do not have any official religion of our country. Now next democratic and republic. Democratic republic form of government head of the state is elected. So is a sovereign socialist secular democratic republic. Please remember the sequence. Sometimes they ask the sequence also.
Democratic secular sovereign socialist democratic republic.
This is the sequence.
Okay.
Okay.
Voting right.
Liberty of thoughted freedom. Okay. expression, belief, faith and worship, equality of status and opportunity to promote among all. Okay. Equality of status, equality of opportunity.
So finally do hereby adopt enact and give to ourselves this constitution.
So finally January example majority already implementation.
Okay clear that is all about preamble of the Indian constitution. Now going next the first is the part one of the Indian constitution. Con students part one part one of the Indian constitution that is basically called as union and its territory. All right simple article one of the Indian constitution. There are total four article my dear 1 2 3 and four. Part one total chapter article article one that India that is bat shall be union of states and its territory include all the states all the union territories and any other reason which we may acquire in future it is a union of state what is the So that is a basic difference between the concept of union states from the American point of view and Indian point of view.
any other reason.
Okay.
So, so that is all about article one.
Article two. Admission.
Admission and establishment.
Establishment of what? Of state.
Okay.
Okay.
Article article. For example, change change of boundary, change of name etc. Okay. Change of name, change of boundary or creation of the new states out of a a state.
Article 300 for example Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014.
So there are many reasons why a state can be created. One of the best reason could be based on the linguistic parameter. Before independence Orisa became 1936 it became a separate province based on the language. Okay. But after independence Andhra has become first linguistic state. But it is not only the language but also the developmental aspect. For example, here this is all about article simple article.
West Bengal. Westgal Schedule one. Okay.
Last of State and Territory four.
Representation of member of parliament to the Rajya Sabha from a state.
And my question is are schedule part of the constitution? Yes, they are part of the constitution. Okay, that means we are amending the constitution but it does not require constitutional amendment under article 368. Simple majority parliamentary bill pass article article article implement you have to amend schedule one and schedule 4 and for which 368 is not required. Simple amendment bill simple majority clear that is all about uh part one of the Indian constitution.
Next provision next citizenship. Okay. Citizenship students.
Yes.
Article Article simple majority.
All right. Now I think by the way citizenship part two part then we are coming to part two basically article five citizenship at the commencement of the constitution Right.
Article six, rights of the citizen certain persons who have migrated to India from Pakistan.
Article seven, right of the citizens of certain migrants to Pakistan.
Okay. Article 9 that is persons voluntarily acquiring citizenship of the foreign statearily sorry for example to regulate the citizenship by lawship amendment I think Buddhist controvers and Buddhist specifically but Hindus and Sikh primarily Okay. So, rights and duties of the citizenship by birth.
Okay. By birth.
So, by birth by descent. By desend a person born outside India was a citizen by descent if their father was an Indian citizen at the time of their birth.
any of the parents father.
Okay.
local by naturalization. By natural relation also the central government may grant a certificate by naturalization of any person not illegal immigrant if they possess certain qualification including not being a subject or citizen of any country having renowned citizenship of their country having resided in India or been in government service for a total taking an oath in allegiance to the constitution of India how by incorporation of territory again article any other reason by termination. Termination. For example, by deprivation citizenship was accurate by fraud. The fraud The citizen has been sentenced to imprisonments for not less than two years in any country within 5 years of resistation and national.
So these are the things related to citizenship. American citizenship, Canadian citizenship, Australian citizenship, they literally scroll your social media profile.
Okay. So that's all about citizenship uh NRA NRC what these are not important that's it next part three of Indian constitution that is all about fundamental uh rights of the Indian constitution part three fundamental rights students article yes article fundamental rights article actually.
Okay. But anyways, so there are six types of fundamental right. What are the six types of fundamental right? One is right to equality.
Okay. Right to freedom 19 to22. Right against exploitation.
Then right to freedom of religion article.
Cultural and educational right 2930.
Right to property 31 300 and right to constitution 32.
Now first article 12 article 12 the definition of state who is a state can violate your fundamental right.
Okay.
It doesn't amount to violation of the fundamental right.
It violates the fundamental right.
Simple. So state state either it is an executive union or state government and partially only police, army, public sector units, civil servants, MLS MPs.
Article 13 the laws which are inconsistent with the fundamental right shall be null and void.
Okay.
This is all about article 12 article 13.
Then we come to the first article that is called as article 14 of the Indian constitution right to equality. So right to equality student there are two concept one is equality before the law and one is equal protection.
Okay. So first is equality before the law. What do you mean by equality before the law? In the eyes of law, all are equal.
Practically theoretically.
Okay. But there are some people for whom the law is not equal. Who are these people? Governor, president of India, foreign ambassadors, foreign law. Why?
