5 Learnings From The Indian Constitution
Parent Circle
|January 2017
Parent Circle lists out five lessons from the Indian Constitution that you can teach your child this Republic Day.
The Constitution of India – just the mention of it, and many of us would picturise a bulky book with jargons that we wouldn’t understand. However, it is not as complex as you think. It is a book that declares our country a republic, lists out our rights as citizens of free India, and informs us of our duties towards our nation. It’s the perfect time of the year to talk to our children about the Constitution of India.
Ashish Patel, CEO, Children’s Movement for Civic Awareness (CMCA), says, “The Constitution is a brilliantly-crafted document that applies to all citizens of India and protects their interests. It clearly establishes the powers of the government and the rights of the citizens of the country. The Preamble to the Constitution is a great place to start for those who are not familiar with it as this section precisely captures its essence. In fact, it pretty much covers values that are vital to human existence – justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. It is a perfect document for parents to use to impart such values to their children.”
So, put on your reading glasses, or not, and read on, as we list out five things you can learn and teach your child from the Indian Constitution.
1. EQUALITY
The Preamble to our Constitution states that the Constitution views all Indians as equals. ‘Right to Equality’ is a fundamental right provided for by Articles 14–18 of the Constitution of India. Equality is not just a fundamental right, but is also an important social value that should be taught to children from a young age, especially once they start school.
