Radical Emancipatory Policies of Human Liberation and Good ( Series-I)

Radical Emancipatory Policies of Human Liberation and Good

 
To understand policies we have to reflect upon (i) the ' ideal ' and 'goal' of our constitution, and ( ii ) the crux problem - social, economical and political.
" The constitution of India " [ and Human Rights therein ] which is supreme & fundamental document of our nation enshrines the ' golden principle ' of Equality -Liberty-Fraternity & Justice [ E-L-F-J] in its ' Preamble '. Similarly it guaranteed right to life [ Article 21-23 ] , right to equality [ Article 14-18 ] and right to liberty [ Articel 19-20 , 25-30] in Part-III ' Fundamental Rights '. It also guarantees us a ' Welfare State ' in Part IV.
All the above are provided with Parliamentary Democracy; Reservation for SCs, STs, OBCs & special protection to STs [ Articles 16(4)(5), 15(4)(5),330,332,335,244,244A ( V& VI Schedule ), 275(1), 338,338A,339,340,341,342,366(24)(25) ]; Independence of Judiciary, CAG & CEC and flexible Federalism ( Centre- State relations ).
The " crux " of Indian problems are :
(a) caste based socio-economic inequalities ;
(b) growth with social & human development ( i.e. achieving the trinity of social , economic & human development );
(c) poverty and inflation;
(d) high level of standard of living in consonance with a civilized Life and sustainable development which is environment friendly and durable for future generation; and
(e) non-representative Parliamentary Democracy due to the demerits of electoral system.
All the above are the products of exclusion and discrimination by Society [ caste, ethnicity, religion & sex ], State [ Government, Bureaucracy & Judiciary ] and Market.
The " mother " of all these problem is brahamanism which can be understood as:
brahamanism = caste & caste capitalism
There are sufficient studies right from Dr.B.R.Ambedkar to Amartya sen to substantiate the above.
In context of this we are required to think about the " type of policy " that can solve the problem and realize the 'ideals' of E+L+F+J+Humanism=Ambedkarism
