7. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
SOVEREIGNTY:
It means absolutely independent; it is not under the control of any other state. Before 1947, India
was not sovereign as it was under the British rule. Now it can frame its policy without any outside
interference.

8. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
SOCIALISM:
It implies a system which will endeavour
to avoid concentration of wealth in a few hands
and will assure its equitable distribution. It also
implies that India is against exploitation in all
forms and believes in economic justice to all its
citizens.

SECULARISM:
India is a country of several religions and each individual has fundamental profess any religion he
likes. The state neither force its citizen to accept any specific religion nor discriminate on the basis of religion.

10. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
DEMOCRACY:
Means, the power of the government is vested in the hands of the people. People exercise this
power through their elected representatives who, in turn, are responsible to them. All the citizens enjoy
equal political rights.

REPUBLIC:
Means, the head of the State is not a hereditary monarch but a President who is indirectly elected
by the people for a definite period.

12. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
JUSTICE:
Living in a democratic system alone does not ensure justice to citizens in all. Even now a number of
cases where not only social and economic justice but also political justice is denied.

13. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
LIBERTY:
The Preamble prescribes liberty of thought, expression, belief, faith, and worship as one of the core
values. These have to be assured to every member of all the communities.

EQUALITY:
Equality is a significant constitutional value as any other. The Constitution ensures equality of status
and opportunity to every citizen for the development of the best in him/her.

15. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
FRATERNITY:
In the absence of fraternity, a plural society like India stands divided. Therefore, to give meaning to
all the ideals like justice, liberty and equality, the Preamble lays great emphasis on fraternity.

16. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
THE DIGNITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL:
It is essential to secure the dignity of every individual without which democracy cannot function. It
ensures equal participation of every individual in all the processes of democratic governance.

17. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
UNITY AND INTEGRITY:
To maintain the independence of the country intact, the unity and integrity of the nation are very
essential. Our Constitution expects from all the citizens of India to uphold and protect the unity and integrity
of India as a matter of duty.

18. CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES
INTERNATIONAL PEACE :
The Indian Constitution directs the state:
 To promote international peace and security,
 Maintain just and honorable relations between nations,
