The Philosophy of the Indian Constitution:

(1) Carefully study of the preamble to the Constitution of India makes it quite clear that the framers of our country's constitution were not only conscious to frame it for the governance of the country but they were greatly concerned to express their vision for a new society and polity.

(2) No doubt, there were differences of opinion among the members of the Constituent Assembly while debating upon the high ideals aims and objectives of the Constitution. But ultimately they reached a consensus. It is that element of consensus among the founding-fathers of constitution which reflected in the Preamble of the Constitution.

(3) Looking at the Preamble to the Constitution, we feel that it has attempted to seta goal provide a vision and direction in building a new social order which is not only democratic but also equal and just. It is a vision which is humanistic, democratic, secular and socialist.

(4) The Philosophy of the Constitution of India also aim at the projecting fundamental rights and civil liberties of the Indian citizens.

Thus we may say that the Indian Constitutionis based on the Philosophy of liberal-welfare-democratic society. As these ideals and values ofthe Indian state finds a place in the preamble, we may that the philosophy of the Constitution finds its expression in the Preamble to the Constitution.
