1.What is the significance of the term fraternity under the preamble of the Indian Constitution, as expected by Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar?[2]

Answer

Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood among all Indians. The Preamble promises "Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation".

Dr. Ambedkar's view. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar spoke on this in his last speech to the Constituent Assembly, on 25 November 1949. He explained that fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood, of Indians being one people. He said it is the principle that gives unity and solidarity to social life. He treated liberty, equality and fraternity as a union of three. Without fraternity, he warned, liberty and equality would be no deeper than a coat of paint.

Why he stressed it. Indian society was divided by caste, religion, language and region. Ambedkar feared that political democracy would not last unless people first saw each other as equals and brothers.

Its two limbs.

  1. Dignity of the individual. Each person must be respected. This idea has helped the courts widen article 21 to include a life with dignity.
  2. Unity and integrity of the Nation. The word "integrity" was added in 1976.

How the Constitution carries it out. Fraternity is "promoted", not "secured", because brotherhood cannot be forced by law. It is supported by article 17, which abolishes untouchability, and article 15(2), which gives equal access to public places. Single citizenship supports it too. And article 51A(e) makes it a duty to promote harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood among all the people of India.
