A good evening goal
race chat box here with this chat book
okay any doubts in whatever we discussed in yesterday class of differences between so many key terms
huh please which classification
nature itself because again same logic use so when they wanted to create a nation for themselves for Jews so by the
time what had happened already Jews were spread across multiple countries there was a few in Germany three in Russia few
and so many other countries so what they all started to feel Jews are all spread across we all should get together and
then we should have our own kind of a separate country for a separate system for us so obviously it's a typical nation state only fine U.S is a
different example in fact a lot of people tell us also maybe you can call something like a India State Nation
because us if you can recall whatever you have people in there there there's
no common identity they all are people who came from most of them had come from Europe during that time then in 20th
century a lot of them migrated from Asia Africa African slaves all those things a lot of people even us is a bit confusion
because they don't have a typical what do you call it the civilization or anything so but that's okay so fine so
most of the examples fall under this huh okay
Taiwan is a bit different in fact if you have seen now globally a lot of countries actually don't recognize Taiwan as a country also even India
doesn't recognize officially India doesn't recognize Taiwan as a separate country we recognize it as what part of
China itself so because China recognizes it as part of themselves we also recognize the same
no sir we'll start recognizing them as a separate if you start recognizing as a separate country then India China
relations will get affected right so Taiwan very difficult thing but because
according to the history if you have go through so a lot of people from here they migrated they went there and then
captured that land and then made it a separate country so broadly you keep these examples
especially most of these Concepts so what is the base of this Europe is
the base of all this right so Europe is the base for all
these kind of definition that's why obviously when you apply it to other countries or other continents so there
is a comp what do you call this some difficulty in applying these Concepts that's the reason they are familiar with an idea called a civilizational state
also but it is still not globally accepted yeah yeah so then yesterday we have
discussed so many aspects like for example if they ask written Constitution is mandatory for democracy then the answer is
no obviously it is not written Constitution if there is a return Constitution there will always be
democracy that means just because you have a written Constitution is it guaranteed
that you will have democracy that is also not sure so Germany under Hitler keep that in mind so during that Germany
under Hitler phase you can't call it as democracy so because there was author there are differences between authoritative totalitarian everything
will lead to that basically fine so then uh constitutionalism recall that constitutionalism or constitutional
state or constitutional government so what is the key word for all of them yeah this
limited government is the key term means there should be no concentration of power so constitutionalism is the goal
Constitution is the means Constitution is the path file so it is best media one
of the best medium available 2021 couplings question definition of
state so those four key components recall that so what are those four key components population
territory government sovereignty so sovereignty was the key
word for the 2020 on prelims question like for example sometimes they keep talking about
have you heard they keep using these two terms sometimes they use the term
these are all Basics to understand these are term subjects they use the
term citizens now is there a difference between that is there a difference between zones of
people are subjects and so and so people are citizens
citizens have rights correct so then as of now we are subjects our citizens
then citizens so then when were we subjects British rule or the king's rule more or
less we were subject so subjects means always understand there is a concept of ruler there is a concept of ruled ruled
means Common Man fine kind of heaven then the ruler whoever is in power will not be accountable or answerable or
responsible to the people subjects means fine that subjects do not have any kind of control means what
let's say for example subjects are not happy with the way so once a person is functioning can they take that person
out of power you don't have that power when you are what subject so subjects are normally under a
monarchy under addicted shape under a colonial rule under a feudal era you will not have any rights they will not
be responsible for your welfare you cannot question them they are not answerable to you you don't have any power to take them out of power
completely reverse it in citizens and citizen is mostly associated with what system then democracy wherein democracy itself means
popular sovereignty yesterday I have told means what the people in power can be elected not can be will be elected by the Common Man
one or other way it can be directly elected indirectly the citizen issue but people will have the power to choose who
will govern them so will they have fundamental rights then of course yes and the government is
responsible answerable to you not just answerable government is responsible for the citizens welfare welfare means to
give you a better education better health care whatever you call them as governments will be answerable for your
welfare that is called as Citizens so got an idea basic idea of course you
may keep on going in depth but this is a basic idea so please write few aspects again differences what do you mean by
subject subject or subjects subjects means which system
yeah people are called subjects in a monarchy they are called subjects
in a monarchy or colonial rule
in a monarchy colonial rule or dictatorship
monarchy colonial rule or dictatorship fine so what is the differences here
here people will not have any rights in subjects we are writing
here people will not have any rights
people will not have any rights they do not have any control
or they do not determine who governs them any which way you can right people will not have any rights
they will not determine who rules them who governs them that means who will become PM who will become president or
whatever so they will not determine who will govern them it's automatically reverse from the
king's perspective or the ruler's perspective the people in power are not answerable
or accountable to the Common Man people in power
people in power are not answerable
people in power are not answerable to the
right and what they obviously don't care about so yeah the same one rulers do not care
about people's welfare or they are not answerable for people's welfare
people in power not answerable for people's welfare
rulers are not answerable for people's welfare
right this is the core idea now completely reverse it citizens so where do you find it then
people in a democracy are called citizens
people in a democracy
people in a democracy are called citizens
people in democracy are called citizens fine they will have rights
exactly opposite question they will have rights
they determine who governs them
they will have rights they determine who rules them who governs them
they will determine who governs them
and then people in power are answerable
for their actions for their decisions people in power
are answerable for their decisions
people in power are answerable for their decisions
fine as well as if you want miserable for what as well as peoples will fail
as well as people's welfare
fine so that is a basic idea about again terms called as subjects and citizens because that is where normally in the
beginning one for your conceptual Clarity two Prince maybe if because most of you are appearing so that is how it
confused right okay come back let's start with the another chapter making of
Indian constitution so obviously as I said Modern India is done try to recall so by the what do you call as this
Simon commission had come up and then as an as a counter to that because it was all completely including only the what
you call as this white men so all the Committees together formed what motilal nehru all the parties together from this
motilal nehru committee then they made a kind of a in fact that itself you can call it as India's first constitution
itself so then obviously a lot of developments started to happen so that is when they start to realize by 1930s
itself that that we should make our own Constitution make us independent we'll create our own Constitution because
demand all those things had already happened so that's why they were demanding because earlier if you can trace by 1910s home ruling all those
things they are not demanding complete Independence they were only asking for what kind of dominion status like Canada or Australia fine but after Purna swaraj
therefore Congress did not call for Dominion status they were only demanding what complete Independence and and make
us we will make our own Constitution that was the demand so that demand obviously started to happen in 1930s for
the first time it was demanded by Amin Roy amen Roy means obviously would
have heard the father of or you can say coinda founder of the Communist Party he was the first person to demand that we
should have our own constituent some League to make Constitution then obviously Congress took it up so started
to have a lot of things try to happen but when did the British accept only because of the impact of the second
world war so because if we can recall what's up Modern India because access power Allied Powers all
those things India British had already taken part they want the support of Congress or the support of India
because so many people they wanted to recruit all those things so then they started to promise because so many other
countries try to put force on them so first time they agreed in 1940 that's what you call it as Augusta for 1940. so
that okay fine we will give you your own constituent assembly but then there were some issues because if you can recall in
Modern India they would have told those statements that that said that it will include mostly Indians that means it was
not told it will be completely Indians so then we and they did not promise the independence they are only talking about
what Dominion status so because Congress had by then rejected Dominion we wanted
Independence August offer did not work then again two years later Crips Mission
so Crips Mission Stafford Crips so he can then they also offered again because of the U.S pressure and all those things
even in that they did not offer complete Independence it was still Dominion status fine so even that got rejected
finally after second world war by that time obviously more or less it was clear that they can't keep on continuing for
all all those things they would have told so finally they agreed that okay fine we will create a constraint assembly consisting only of Indians so
that is when the plan finally got a grid which is called as the cabinet Mission plan 1945. this was after second world
war clip so then they created it then the elections happened next year all those things is there so got a brief
idea so now let's note down that facts if you have not first one you mentioned mnri was the first Indian
these are all very basic facts amen Roy was the first Indian
to demand first Indian to demand a separate constituent assembly
first Indian to demand separate constituent assembly
then Congress started to demand the same
then the Congress started to demand the same
then the Congress started to demand the same
the next point in the backdrop of
in the backdrop of or during the second world whatever in the backdrop of Second World War
to get the support of Congress or you can say Indians to get the
support of Congress British agreed
to get the support of Congress British agreed to create
British agreed to create a separate constituent assembly
British agreed to create a separate constraint assembly for the first time
British agreed to create a separate constraint assembly for the first time in August of our 1940.
for the first time in August of our 1940.
August offer 1940 but what is the result however it was rejected by
however it was rejected by Congress said because Dominion State they had they
have were not talking about independence all those things but that's not necessary so just right however it was rejected by
the Congress when there is August offer you can underline that August offer next Point
British again offered it in the Crips Mission plan or Crips mission
British again offered
British again offered it under Crips mission
again offered it under the Crips mission again the same it was also rejected by
Congress again offered it under the Crips mission 1942 obviously the failure of which led
to quit India movement British also India also or you can say congress also rejected it
Congress again rejected it fine next point after second World War
after second World War cabinet Mission gave a plan
after second World War cabinet Mission gave a plan
1945 cabinet Mission gave a plan in 1945 which was agreed by both Congress and
Muslim League Congress gave a plan
which was agreed sorry cabinet Mission gave a plan which was agreed by both
Congress as well as Muslim League which was agreed by both
the Congress and Muslim League so now write those members so below that so try to recall that India that would have
told who are the members of the cabinet Mission plan all those things yeah please write that
Lawrence was the head Lawrence
Lord Patrick Lawrence was the head Stafford Crips and AV Alexander were
other members Stafford cribs
the same person was head of the Crips Mission plan and AV Alexander
Stafford trips and AV Alexander were other members
fine now you put that in composition of constituent assembly how many members were there how were
they elected at those points composition of
composition of constituent assembly
composition of constituent assembly
so let's write the points first we will discuss it first point
it was created under just now we wrote it was created under
cabinet Mission plan it was created under cabinet Mission
plan keep reading in points created under the cabinet Mission plan
then first point I mean next Point under that total strength was total strength of the
assembly was total strength of the assembly was
389
so right like this whatever split it total strength was 389 out of that 296.
296 again splitted 292 and 4. so 292 were for whom
British provinces the typical Madras Bombay Bengal 292 British provinces and four CCP means
Chief Commissioners provinces 292 for British provinces for chief
Commissioners provinces fine sir what were those four Chief commissioner provinces there itself in
bracket you write if you have space or somewhere in margin which were these four
five one Delhi Chief commissioner provinces itself is what over report has evolved and become
today's Union territory same concept only one is Delhi second one is ajmer there are just one
Delhi ajmer three British Balochistan which later obviously became part of Pakistan
just write Balochistan where you still have the problems going on
Balochistan and foreign
so these were the four Chief Commissioners provinces which had members
then princely States is more than obvious I don't have to tell so many are there right from Kashmir to Hyderabad to
Mysore to yeah many many are the travancore like that many are there okay so that is the overall strength 389
subdivide 296 93 292 for all those things
clear ah next point number of seeds
number of seats were allocated number of seats were allocated based on
the population so that is more than obvious any democracy anywhere
number of seats were allocated based on population
number of seats were allocated based on population next point
the seats of the provinces British provinces the seats of British provinces
were divided between the seeds of British provinces
the seats of British provinces were divided between
Muslims sick and general
the seats of the British provinces were divided by Spain Muslims sick and general
we will discuss that there is a concept called a separate electorate joint electric everything divided between Muslims Sikh and general clear then
members members members of the community members of that
community members of that Community were elected
members of that Community were elected by the already elected members
members of that Community were elected by the already elected members
who are part of who are part of provincial legislature
elected by the already elected members who are part of provincial legislature
and belong to that community
and belong to that Community we discuss it so what do you mean by that and belong to that community
clear next one election was based on this selection whatever you wrote about
that election the selection was based on p r s t v
this election was based on PRS TV system right PRS TV in capitals PRS TV system
and in bracket you clarify proportional representation
PRS TV system proportional representation with single transferable vote
proportional representation with single transferable vote
proportional representation with single transferable vote clear
next last point we discuss all of them let's write it first next one members from princely States
members from or members of princely states were nominated
members of the princely states were nominated by the head of header that is Kings or queen whatever
you call them as members of the princely states were nominated by the princes or Kings
nominated by the Kings
sir what is the point about United that's what as I said Chief Commissioners provinces what British
used to call later that only became what we call it as union territories today
okay fine now before going to these points we need to understand some other Basics because we have used the term
prstv all those things so first let's understand this basic idea obviously
I think what a brief because subdivided during British India when you say you had two major components one is called
as British provinces second one is princely States so British provinces if we can recall what British Province
means the moment you say that directly under the control of whom British direct rule so they'll put a governor they'll
rule it princely states not under Direct Control so if you want in margin you can write princely states were under the
they use these words pristly princely states were under the
princely states were under the suzerainty or
paramounty of British crown British sorry princely states were under
this suzerainty or Paramount C of British crown
that means they have accepted their rule but then British will not come and Rule you directly you will have your own King
your own Queen whatever it is but broadly ultimately you are also under who's control British only that is called as
suzerainty suzerainty angle you don't use for provinces you use for whom princely States presidential paramounty
means that yes Queen is Paramount for us that is the point so Serenity or Paramount see clear that is one Angle
now before going to prtv all those things let us discuss another one remember in elections you have first
major type is what we call it as today
one is joint electorate
remember in Modern India they would have told I think they might have explained separate electorate also or basic idea
called as Lord Lord Minto is called as a father of separate electorate all those things you can also use another term for separate electorate
so all mean the same now what do you mean by joint electorate so any idea
everybody will vote yeah fine let's take a simple example now what present you have remember we have reservation for SC
and St in at present only in Lok Sabha and
assembly so first these are these are all very basic points understand Indian constitution provides reservation only
for SC and St with respect to Lok Sabha and assembly so then OBC WS that is job
we are not talking about government jobs we are talking about what in the legislature means
at that point we are talking only for SC and St remember in the last one week 10 days they are all demanding
women reservation bill is pending from 1996 what are you doing now the whatever the regional part is so called third
front everybody are getting together that is women reservation they are demanding it is still not given
according to the Constitution it is only for SC and St only in Lok Sabha and assembly so then rajya Sabha May in
rajya Sabha there is no reservation for provision sir Council obviously no only
in Lok Sabha and assembly clear how does that happen sir which state is allocated that will discuss under delimitation
commission let us not discuss now let's stick only to Joint electron now let us
take a seat whatever like let's say Delhi South Delhi not like how you have constituencies
Varanasi like that for example let us say this seat is reserved for SC
find some X constituency constituency Matlab you have an idea right Varanasi Narendra Modi prime minister represents
so that is a constituency constituency means particular geographical area
all those things fine let us say it is reserved for SC so on what basis there is a that let's keep it for Parliament
let's not discuss now the basis of reservation let us say it is reserved then what will happen for example let's
say a b c and d four candidates want to contest election now what is the simple reason all of
them should belong to which category then all of them should belong to a c category
clear so candidate should belong to the reserved category now let us say in this
x constituency 100 people are voting or hundred people are present you make it as one lakh one crore all the same
100 people are there now out of them there will be there will be people who belong to high cost obcs so many will be
there no who will vote then all reload
all will vote all in the sense whoever is eligible to vote all we load then you call it as what system
joint that's why it is called as joint electrode candidates will belong to the result category but voters will belong
to what voters will be all so remember so candidates reserved
voters everybody there was a small change then what do you mean by separate electorate then
which obviously so British used to do it for so many they would have told you the days to that was the system was there
for Muslims Sikh Europeans Christians like that many multi not today we're telling British time exactly it was the
point same constituency let us say X fine let us say it is reserved for
Muslims so then if a b c and d four are contesting all of them should belong to
what now let us say 100 people are are present in this constancy fine 30 people
are Muslims now then we load only Muslims reload then the system
separate electorate got the best idea so basic idea is simple separate electorate means the
candidates will also belong to the result category voters will also belong to the result category what do you mean
by joint allocate only candidates will belong to result category then who are the voters
all yeah please write this first point somewhere clarifying margin
small difference if you know it's fine if you don't please note down because I it is my duty to clarify all
the basic points first is joint electron so just write in simple words what do you mean by gentle
trade the candidates will belong to the result category
the candidates will belong to the result category but
but joint electorate only the candidates belong to the reserved category
only candidates belong to the result category voters voters can belong to any category
that means your religion cost doesn't matter there voters can belong to any category
voters can belong to any category voters can belong to any category at
present this is in India at present India follows joint electorate
at present India follows joint electorate at present India follows joint
electorate with reserved seats for at present India follows joint
electorate with reserved seats for as I said whom SC and St only in Lok Sabha and assembly
India follows joint electrode with reserved seat only for SC and St only in
Lok Sabha and assembly
fine then there was the point separate or communal electorate here
both the candidates as well as voters belong to the result category here
both the candidates here both the candidates as well as
voters both the candidates as well as voters belong to the reserve category
that depends I have that depends on delimitation commission Election Commission so it may change after three
four elections it may not change also so it depends on so many factors its not
so easy typically Election Commission will decide practically fine so both the voters as well as candidates belong to
the reserved category that is called a separate electrate again mentioned British used to follow it
British used to follow it for Muslims Sikh so many were there just write two
three anglo-indians Christians Etc
British used to follow it with respect to Muslims sick Christian Etc Indian constitution
doesn't support it British used to follow it with respect
to Muslims Sikh Christian Etc
Indian constitution does not support this
Indian constitution does not support it
OK that is one basic difference now second basic difference we need to understand because we have mentioned
about prstv before coming to PRS TV we should understand there is first system called as what
first pass the post please for the heading if you knew it's fine if you don't just
note down first past the post
that is fptp so what do you mean by that let us take the same example
let us say a constituency x fine let us say 100 people are voters
there are four candidates a b c and d fine
let us say I've got 35 volts 30 25
so how much is the score 60 90 10. it finds obviously who is elected
now a is elected now only that means out of 100 orders actually how many chose EA
35 in other words how many have actually rejected here 65 percent have actually rejected but it
does not matter for us so still a is the person who is elected
so he is he getting more than 50 percent of the and that means I mean logically speaking what we keep telling at least
fifty percent should be in your favor then you are elected but here 50 are not in your favor
but it doesn't matter you should just get the highest votes not the majority
majority means always remember when they use the word majority in polity that means more than 50. when they use the
word highest it doesn't matter more than 50 or less than 50 does not matter you are the highest voter fine so you should
just get the highest number of words to get elected in fptp in India obviously we follow this most importantly one is
in Lok Sabha second one is again legislative assembly in both the cons in
both the aspects we follow fptp clear first the first first possible if
you don't know other basic for example let us say we follow today something called as
not also correct now let us say the words is like this 30
25
. now let's make it more reverse okay 30
10 10 10 10 means 36 40.
fine so then who is elected then it is still a at present the system is
such a way that even if no targets the highest votes it doesn't matter who has
got the second highest that person is elected because or else if you make if you consider it as not as
elected then what is the option then you have to reconduct the election General again again general election they are
not General let's say for that unnecessary expenditure again so that is the reason at present we follow this
model wherein it does not matter even if Nota gets highest words the second election
clear now let us say another concept same let us say it is 30
30 20 10 .
now here and we have got equals equal words then who is elected
election so at present what they do is for
example when they count and when there is a tie they will recount it first let's say if there is a try again then
according to the RP act 1951 representation of people like 1951 whoever the presiding polling officer is
there he will have the authority to pick the lottery and whoever gets that is considered as
elected right practically what happens is at present system first they'll count EVMS
let's say they'll recount TVM again even then there is a what type then they'll count the VV Pat have you heard what are
verifiable paper auditorial method there is kind of slips if you go to you know if you go and vote in the elections if
you have observed you'll get a slip actually in which there it will show which candidate you voted for who is whatever all those things that slips the
account even in that if there is a tie then they follow this method
so that is practically how it happens basic point you understand if there is a tie RP act Lottery there is no concept
of re-election understood this is fptp so got a base idea please write
huh
that's different that is to get to that is to get to power
get to power in the sense if you if BJP wants to make a gunman that is one this is not about it this is about in a
particular constancy if you want to get elected for example in allahabad if you want to
get a trade this one what you are telling is exactly that is to come to power this is
to become MP or MLA that comes after that is majority party rule that that's what you are talking
and that will discuss under your parliamentary system good idea please just write this fptp first pass the post
system right so where do we follow it
present it is followed with respect to Lok Sabha and election
at present it is followed at present it is followed in
Lok Sabha and Assembly Election legislative assembly
now what is the key Point here here the candidate which gets the or
candidate who gets the highest votes is considered elected that's it
here the candidates who gets the highest votes
here the candidate who gets the highest votes is considered as elected
is considered as elected right if you want those extra two points you can add
even if Nota gets highest words even if Nota gets highest vote
even if Nota gets highest votes still it is who
the second highest voter radar the person who has got second highest votes is elected
even if Nota gets the highest votes the person who got second highest votes is
elected the person who got second highest votes will be elected
clear then if you want if there is a tie that is equal words
if there is a tie between multiple candidates if there is a tie between multiple
candidates if it is a tie if there is a tie between multiple candidates
according to RP act 1951 if there is a tie between multiple
candidates according to RP act representation of people at RP act Matlab
representation of people act 1951
representation of people like 1951 a lottery will be picked
please draw a lot whatever you call it as the lottery will be picked by the respective officer pulling officer
Lottery will be picked by the respective polling officer
right so that is a basic idea of what do you mean by first pass the post and where do you follow Lok Sabha and assembly now there is another system
broadly first called as prtv comes later first you should understand first called
as what proportional representation look at the
name itself proportional guy proportional means what the number of
seats that a party gets in the legislature is proportional to what the number of words you get the
percentage of votes you get that is a basic idea for example remember if you have heard the criticism Congress keeps
on saying this multiple times now for very simple reason let's say even in 2014 actually they used to tell us tell
this a lot in 2014 Lok Sabha election if you can recall BJP had got somewhere around 280 seats
or 285 2019 it crossed 300 as a single party fine I think let's say
if he can recall Lok Sabha strength 543 fine BJP got let's say 280 Plus
fine that means what actually it is more than how many seats more than 50 of the Saints but what is but what is the vote
percentage they got but BJP vote percentage what was at that election I think somewhere around 30
37 35 whatever 36 percent I think 35 Point something plus or minus two
somewhere there fine this is the word percentage now if you can recall how much did Congress get the
seats in that election 45 or something look at the difference
but what is the percentage of words they got the percentage of words is not like two percent or three percent they got
somewhere around of course we fee we keep feeling that
nobody likes Rahul Gandhi that's a different issue but the point is it is not like that if you look at the percentage of words
percentage of what difference is very less look at the number of seeds difference 45 where is 45 where is 280 Plus
is there is there any match here there is no match at all if the same election actually if you can recall the same Lok
Sabha election 2014 you take uttar Pradesh obviously a lot of you will be from uttar Pradesh uttar Pradesh has somewhere around what 80
seats right loks itself exactly okay fine 80 seats then in the
2014 election I think BJP got 70 2 72 fine there's another party if you
can recall mayawatika bsp you know how much got bsp got in 2014.
0 if you think nobody nobody voted it is actually not like that BJP got again
37 yeah 38 percent let us say bsp got
its not legs in nobody voted 30 percent people have voted but what's the seat
zero look at the difference
because because we are following fpt pieces doesn't matter you get more you
get one lakh votes more you are still you're just elected but proportional representation is not
like this proportional representation is a that different types of proportional representation in proportional
representation is simple number of seats for a party
this is the core principle they follow number of seats for a party is proportional to
percentage of votes for the party
like this you follow this now let's say you have 30 or sorry 80
seats out of 80 if people number 38 percent of people of uttar Pradesh have voted for BJP means you give 30 38 seats
for BJP thirty percent have voted for bsp means you should give 30 percent Reach For Whom then bsp only
but are we doing like this we are not doing it so because we don't follow that system itself so it looks better then
why are we not following it if you follow it how many parties are there then everything will get completely
split even now it is so much split imagine how many political parties are there in India if you go for that then
there is no end at all nobody can Farm government because if you want to form the government you should have more than
50 seats in the legislature if you want to get more than 50 says how much percentage votes you should get then
more than 50 votes also you should get and no party can get more than 50 percent it is highly impossible because
you have to get like huge support considering India's diversity divisions religion caste was a region it is very
very impossible Maybe but in practice at present even
considering Narendra modi's popularity also it is impossible because they can only get 38 36 39 maximum
so then how do you form a government then majority governments you will not get Matlab Coalition governments is the
only option and you have Coalition Coalition means simple as you know right multiple parties have to get remember
vajpayee government 2019 to 2004 15 political parties one five how do you
manage 15 political parties political parties you have to manage
imagine what all demands will help will any political party give you support just like that what will they tell give
me two cabinet minister foreign minister this Minister only should give me don't sign this agreement don't send that
agreement how many compromises used to famously call it as compulsions of coalition compulsions
you like or you don't like you should agree because it's a compromise sir why should I why should I you have to compromise or
else what did the party do will just take back the support then your government is gone
so hence if you have if we follow proportional representation in Lok Sabha elections it will lead to
what you call as this Coalition governments every major election every year that means instability is more
automatically Edition making everything will be a huge issue right that's the reason normally we
don't follow clear that also we will discuss later basic point you are you got it right what do you mean by proportional number of seats is for a
party is proportional to the number of votes for a party right that's why what they do in proportional representation
as I said many types are there when you go and vote in the election you don't go for go and vote for the candidate you
vote for whom party directly in general proportional difference there are many types in
general point is that but here what we do we vote for a candidate as well as party
means you choose both and then you you vote but there you only vote for a party then they will choose the candidates
that's a different system completely so let's now get into that basically this is the idea under this one of the type
is what you call it as proportional representation with single transferable vote that we follow are present in
president election vice president election rajya Sabha election Council election so what is that was single
transferable what let's keep it to president election because there are so many Concepts there what do you mean by first prayer for
example now let us say when if you have voted in election in evm you will have let us say five candidates are the ten
candidates are there now you go and then you only choose which one whichever candidate you want to you press that
vote and then you come back it is as simple as that but when you vote in PRS TV you give priority for all
the candidates in simple words I will not mention all the details PRS TV works
like this let us say for example there are
five candidates now let us say you're going for Lok Sabha or Assembly Election how do you vote you will say okay I like B
then your voting is done this is fptp PRS TV is like
I want here to get elected first if a Is Not Elected I want
B to get elected if not b then C then the Denny
Liberties what are you doing here you are giving priority for all the contesting candidates there are five
candidates you have to give a priority if not this then if not them then if not
him then like that that is the basic idea of PRS TV then they will count it and then they
will transfer it that we will discuss under your president election clear please write the basic point I
think you got an idea did we write what do you mean by fpdp or not you have written then for the adding
proportional representation not PRS TV as a whole just proportional representation
then if you have no write this core point this is the core point
number of seats for a party in
legislature is proportional to percentage of seats for a for the party in
general election
sir what is not as I said nauta means what ibpsc gives for every option none of the
one of the world like the same one none of the above actually super UPI would so
it was not introduced by Parliament or Election Commission Supreme Court introduced the concept of Nota under pocl case
right that will discuss later in electoral reforms note option was introduced by Supreme Court in pucl case
if you didn't know that you can write that also Nota means none of the above introduced
by Supreme Court in pucl case people's Union for civil liberties case
none of the above introduced by Supreme Court in pucl pucl is an engine they
keep giving a lot of these reports
pucl people's Union for civil liberties it's an NGO
according to the Supreme Court what is the use of notice asking according to Supreme Court the idea is that in a
democ democracy it's it's built on people's participation the idea is that because early a lot of people used to
tell before notice let's say you don't like any candidate then the process was there
will be a separate book given to you you have to go write your name there saying I I don't want to vote for anybody then
you just go that words were not even counted it was just kept like that but you have
just went there and a lot of people used to if it is not even content why should I go and represent myself then at least now you are giving them an
option please come and tell your ones now what is the how will it impact for example I'll tell you a curious example
like last week in uh because in you know that obviously incisely there was a
candidate who died last week I mean a person a politician major politician he had won an election by one vote
one vote one single word now let us say on that candidate for example another I
mean voter had said okay I will I will just go and put Nota for someone
if that one ended with with what one would you win if that one person had had
mentioned Nota that means the election would have become tight most audience what happens if for a
voter let us say you're going for it actually most of the Indians I mean most of the times especially youth they don't
like any candidate out of compulsion they go because someone is selling a summer whatever issues that time what you do okay who is
close to me so who I know who is more famous they may go and just put the pattern there
at least when you have a note of what you may do you may we don't know we you may press No Doubt that actually may
change the result also like in they have identified in the chattisgarh election last when I think 2019 or 2020
their note actually has determined low at least around 15 to 20 seats results is determined because of Nota
so it has got I don't know exactly percentage five or six percent of the overall have voted for Nota in general
if not I was there they would have voted for some other party so seats would have gone there
so like that is there though not a huge impact maybe a very small percentage of impact that's why in Maharashtra few
early years back they told if in case Nota gets the highest words they said we will conduct a re-election
in Maharashtra they said for municipalities Maharashtra State Election Commission but at present we
don't follow it don't keep it in mind so because then you may get confused nowhere it is
towards second highest candidate is the winner okay what is that notar so that Supreme
Court introduced it in pscl case if you don't know about VV pad also please write Vivi Pat VV Pat right Vivi patin
capitals v v p a t voter verifiable
voter verifiable paper voter verifiable paper audit
Trail t-r-a-i-l means voter can verify physically that okay all those things
what are verifiable paper auditor again the same introduced by Supreme not Parliament not elections
subramanyam Swami case it's gonna be the same
case
subramanyam Swami case because the reason was very simple
phases are there clear the elections used to happen in ballot paper means you go press like you
put an ink and then you put there or some kind of will we get you put that so fold it and then you that kind of a
ballet paper but during the time the problem was use Booth capturing Booth capturing means
close to whichever really in let's say in a area or in a village something is powerful they'll come and capture the
both take all the pellet papers that's it put it in the Box
so then why should why are other people waiting then so that is what technology realization
of politics so many criminal activities try to happen then to avoid this what happened if you have a very famous
election commissioner called as TNC very famously
so then what after two three years they introduced him in EVMS you can't just keep on
pressing your resist can press only once
then only you can so the concept of Booth capturing gone when they introduce
okay okay ballot paper at least I was sure that okay I've pressed for this person I know I have seen it and then I
am putting it let us say our pvm is
getting the point let us say you have pressed for a a candidate below is a candidate what is the guarantee that yes
that's when they again people Supreme Court saying what is the guarantee so then they said okay fine we need you
need a garage in the allowed election hackathon hackathon means
you have can see if you can if that and a lot of this happens then Election
Commission dispute everybody and said actually what you if you are pressing for a it is going for here only it is
almost impossible to hack it you can't change the numbers like how we hack viruses all those nothing can happen it
was proved but still Supreme Court failed people should have confidence in the system
because I should feel you may prove anything what is the guarantee what we'll do is after you press a
button we will display a paper what you call it as VB pad that will be there for I think 10 seconds so there
you will get the candidate name Party symbol although then it will dip into a box that is BB pad system
explanation of both evm as well as ballot paper is the trust of the Common Man in the
election system they have introduced vivipet okay huh
okay good I think when we sit there it may
okay Vivi Pat was very simple what I said was when they had introduced evm there was a
problem that people were not sure what they are voting and who they think the vote is the same or not hence vvpat was
introduced but present if you press a button in evm so you will also get a slip so in which they'll display the
candidate name the Party symbol the party where some number will be given to that candidate all those things and that
can that slips may be counted if there is a type not count VV Pat remember in
practice they'll only count EVMS in evm there is a if you press a button they'll give you clearly the numbers who each
candidate has got one they'll only count that when other things lets not discuss
it now did you write this proportional representation fine now come back
now look at your constraint assembly composition now we will understand everything for that Basics we did all these things
so look at the first point 389 split that is more than obvious then two so
members on privilege rate is very easy because how are they they are nominated by the head of the state or ticket as
king or queen then within the provinces how they divide the first seat into Muslims Sikh
General now let us say in up at that time up was called as United Province from up you want to elect five members
from Muslim candidates or from Muslim Community to the constraint assembly then who will vote for them in the
election for example I am telling up United province fine seats what they
will do they will divide between Muslim sick General clear because we have already
written it it is subdivided between them now let us say you want to elect
four candidates four candidates General whatever so rest I think up had
somewhere around of 55 whatever let's say 40 seats now these four candidates will be
elected by whom who is good for them yeah only Muslims the two Muslims were
not the common Muslim look at read that point you will understand members of the community were elected by
whom by them who are by the already elected members who are part of which one provincial legislature means there was
United Province legislature like how you have State Assembly now United provinces
legislature will be there let us say in this there are some Muslims
now they will vote for whom these four candidates in up legislature
there will be so many non-muslims also they will not vote only we load Muslims who are part of the
up provincial legislature will vote for the Muslim candidates for constraint assembly
if in case there are any sick Community belonging people for so who are six years they will vote for them
and whoever are other than Muslims and sick will vote for General that's why it is what's a kind
of system then what system is this joint electorate or separate electorate then separate because only Muslims are voting for
Muslims sick will vote for sick assembly was elected based on
because this statement they may directly give hence constant assembly was elected based on indirect election why is it
indirect so director and interact those two terms are there even that I'll clarify if you because in the beginning all these
things are needed there are two words called as one is directly elected and second one is what
then what do you mean by directly elected elected by the common man that is called
as directly elected what do you mean by indirectly elected elected by the already elected members
fine if you don't know the difference first you write this what do you mean by directly elected what do you mean by indirectly elected directly elected
you are elected by whom the Common Man common man will vote in the election
what do you mean by indirectly elected elected by the already elected members
like mlas will elect rajya Sabha members or in very simple one president is elected by whom they already elected MPS
and MLS that means president of India is directly elected or indirectly elected that is as simple as that so directly
elected means elected by Common Man indirectly means elected by the already elected members
indirectly elected correct are not elected actually he is not even indirectly elected he is actually chosen
a point means the majority members will choose one in elections we don't fight
for him okay so constant assembly members reward indirectly elected and two word based on
separate electorate they are indirectly elected based on separate electorate
hence constituent assembly members are indirectly elected based on separate
electorate indirectly elected based on separate
trait and few members were also what few members were also nominated that is a
princely state few members were also nominated
to understand that composition we discuss other things
so this is also one of the major criticism of constant assembly they criticized that the members of
constraint assembly were what not they were not directly elected was the
major criticism that will write it at the end so got it till now what is the composition how many were there how the
issues I mean members were split and all now next point constant assembly elections were
conducted in November 1946. constituent assembly elections
those watching online is the voice clear now please confirm
online students
constituent assembly elections were conducted in November 1946 Congress got
more than 80 percent of the seats Congress got more than 80 percent of the
seats remember when the elections was conducted November 1946 the partition
has still not happened hence the elections happens for 399 389 seats
Congress got more than 80 percent of the seats fine and if you don't know the basic
fact when this selection happened actually where ambedkar was also part of it but where was ambed corrected from
actually originally ambedkar was elected from the Bengal Bengal area fine because he could not get elected
here because remember he was not part of Congress he went there and got elected so then what happened by nineteen I mean
1947 all those things partition so when partitions happens what happens whichever he was elect that hits he lost
his seat because Bengal got divided so you have to divide the seats also and
ambedkar lost the seat now if you have lost the seat how will you be part of assembly then
basic point if you are not a member how will you come and sit in assembly then what they did because of that time or
whatever issues was going on even though he was a very harshest critic if he can recall ambedkar was very harsh critic of
Gandhi nehru as well as Congress and all those things so what Congress did there was a seat person called as jaiker who was a
congress member from Bombay so Jacob was forced to resign fine so then from that seat ambedkar got
re-elected from his own because ambedkar belongs to Bombay Province so he got re-elected came back to assembly then
actually who should become the head of drafting committee even then there was a controversy there was a person called as
Sir Iver Jennings he was British very famous constitutional expert he had helped Sri Lanka to draft a constitution
so many countries he had helped and actually Congress especially in negro in the beginning wanted sir ever Jennings
to become head of drafting committee because he has a good expertise on that but then later again lot of people
criticized we want we are we have become an independent country why should we depend again on the help of some Britain British person
we want some Indian to draft it s because it will send a new message then they again wanted to choose lot of
people in fact said gopal swamyanga also so many people that suggested names because most of them were very famous
lawyers same concept but finally they said America's Best Choice one obviously
considering the knowledge expertise all those things and then two most importantly to send a message that
remember considering his cast background all those things and because we wanted to create a new India
we wanted to send a message that we are a egalitarian society Matlab equality so
we don't care for which background which caste are you born religion are you born in so that message they wanted to send
so hence considering the symbolic importance of ambedkar finally he was chosen then whatever happens so how it function
all those things will come to that when you can write this point actually somewhere in margin bedker was originally elected from
Bengal for the constraint assembly ambedkar was
ambedkar was originally elected from Bengal
who originally elected from Bengal after partition he lost his seat
after India's partition he lost his seed because obviously a number of seats will reduce after partition he lost his seat then
jayakar's seat in Bombay was vacated m jayakar
foreign
was vacated
and ambedkar got re-elected from this seat
ambedkar got re-elected from the seat
finder is November 1946 all those things elections happened come back and write another point constituent assembly was
presentative of India's diversity constituent assembly was
representative constituent assembly was representative
of India's diversity
constituent assembly was representative of India's diversity means what
simple Israel what do you mean by that it means there were members from all the regions
communities including women scst it means there were members from all the
areas all the regions north south everywhere Central India
Northeast everywhere there were members from all the regions communities
all the regions and communities including women SC EST
so there were women members also a lot of people think actually women members were not there but of course it was there
including women SC and history clear remember yesterday we wrote that it has
to be represented that's a major angle fine then so now what happens obviously
number 1946 all those things is done team is ready now
when the next point when the assembly met for the first time in December 1946
when the assembly met for the first time
when the assembly met for the first time in December 1946
made for the first time in December 1946 Dr sachidananda Sinha
Dr sachidananda Sinha was chosen as
Not Elected just chosen and the Sinha was chosen as
the temporary head of the assembly temporary just for few days
was chosen even today we follow kind of same system called a speaker Pro tem that we will discuss later
chosen as the temporary head of the assembly later the assembly elected
later the assembly elected Dr rajendra Prasad as the head as a
president later the assembly elected Dr rajendra Prasad as the president
assembly elected Dr rajendra Prasad as the president and and
HC Mukherjee Dr rajendra Prasad as the president and
H C Mukherjee Mukherjee VT krishnamachari
HC Mukherjee v t krishnamachari
sorry all those names don't write TT because
he was also a member but he was not the deputy head vice president was VT krishnamachari were the vice presidents
of the assembly or as the vice president of the assembly
that means if Rajan Prasad is not there is like that
as the vice president of the assembly then again another name Serbian Rao
sir b n Rao was chosen as
the Constitutional or legal advisor sir b n Rao Rau was chosen as the
Constitutional or legal advisor constitutional or legal advisor to the
assembly constitutional or legal advisor to the assembly
when in fact he was the one who who have what also helps for this drafting of the
Constitution even he had played a greater role fine ok so that is a basic idea
now obviously the entire team is ready elections has happened so they have met they have elected who is the head on all
those things so what is the purpose of having a constant assembly what is the purpose to draft a constitution there is a
overall purpose so for that you need a Clarity in which path you have to go means like you can call it as Unity of
Direction Unity of purpose what kind of constitution we have to create you need a Clarity on that for that there was a
document called as providing objectives resolution providing objectives resolution
objectives resolution foreign
so tell what do you mean by that its intention was to provide
objective resolution its intention was to provide
a Unity of Direction a little bit Clarity in the way in its functioning
its intention was to provide a Unity of Direction for the functioning of the assembly
provide a Unity of Direction for the functioning of the assembly
for the functioning of the assembly [Music] um
yeah we will write that we'll write that for the functioning of the assembly yeah correct it was drafted by
it was drafted by jawaharlal it was drafted by jawaharlal nehru
and unanimously accepted there was no major operations mostly everybody
accepted drafted by jawaharlal nehru unanimously accepted that is without a
portion by the assembly unanimously accepted by the assembly
unanimously accepted by the assembly right it is reflected in today's Preamble so more the same content you
have it in preamble it is reflected in today's preamble
it is reflected in today's preamble
right so that was what so now you got a Unity of Direction but
meanwhile what happened so December 1946 they met for the first time so total is that 11 sessions all those things
different then within five six months obviously the issue of direct action day partition mountbatten plan all those
things were going on obviously lot of change has happened that is your Buddha submitting again changes brought by
Indian independence Act 1947.
so what changes this this act bring to the assembly changes brought by
changes made by Indian independence Act 1947.
Indian independence Act 1947. so you can think logically so the
strength now the stress obviously because with Independence partition happens now the strength of constant assembly will increase or decrease then
decrease so first point the strength of the constraint assembly decreased
because obviously it went to Pakistan also the strength of the constraint or
somebody decreased from 389 to 299.
decreased from 389 to 299
299 again subdivide 229 for British provinces or technically called as
provinces also 229 for provinces seven zero for princely States
out of 299 229 provinces seven zero princely States
70 for princely States fine that is one major change
fine then two constituent assembly was my was made a
completely Sovereign body Sovereign means still we discuss the details take it as ultimate decision making Authority
yesterday we wrote remember popular sovereignty like that constituent assembly was made a
completely Sovereign body was made a completely Sovereign body
so what does that mean it was given all the power to make the Constitution it wants that's the meaning
so you you delete any act you make any act anything you can do it was made a completely Sovereign body
that is the power that is it was given all the power
to draft the Constitution that it wants
it was given all the power to draft its own Constitution
that is second major change now then the third major change
the assembly was given or assembly was given or provided
the assembly was given two functions the constraint assembly was given two
functions one is obvious
for the first one as the name itself says first one to draft a constitution for Independent India
it was given two functions first one is to draft Constitution for Independent
India to draft Constitution for Independent India
and what is the second to act as provisional Parliament so this
we need to discuss a bit to act as a provisional Parliament
to act as a provisional Parliament so provisional means actually in simple
words
provisional means temporary ok so that means they assembly itself will act as
the temporary Parliament sir why why should that act why can't they elect
get the question like for example we are telling so if the assembly itself will
act as a provisional Parliament now the core question if you can ask is Sir why should that act as a parliament why
can't we allow any of your like how we are electing now we're in 17 Lok Sabha 17th time we have elected general
election happened why can't they conduct the general election and elect a new Lok Sabha
now before conflict there is much core point
and they would understand the system they would vote for other than that they would not know what
they're voting for yeah to an extent so the basic point is very simple let us say if you want to conduct the general election first point
the Constitution should tell that what should be the base of the election what system you want to follow if PDP follow
what proportional representation parliamentary system follow a presidential system which system you
want to follow where is the clarity that Clarity has to be given by whom
Constitution has to tell all those things now in 1947 where do you have Constitution
Constitution itself is not there hence what happened was first let us make the Constitution
when you get a constitution you will get a Clarity okay fine we will follow presidential or parliamentary will
become unitary or federal because if you follow presidential then the majority party rule concept will not come we'll
discuss all those things if you follow parliamentary majority rule concept will come so all those changes were there
then should we follow fpdb that was that Clarity was also who will vote on what basis will you get will you
follow on your Universal references or not Universal you you know that term right Universal adult franchise means
will you give voting power for all or will you give it only for few no sir we'll give it for all you can't
tell it who has to delete you should write it in the Constitution so hence first word should come
first you should make the Constitution when you make a constitution then you conduct the election because for for
example who will conduct the election first of all okay now you have a Clarity Election Commission will conduct
but who created Election Commission so then first what should come first elect Constitution should come
then you can decide all these things that's the reason susp professional
Parliament continued till when provisional Parliament continue till
May 1952 because the first Lok Sabha election happened in
December or November 1951 November December 1951 was the first
general election Lok Sabha results came in March April then the Lok Sabha met for the first
time in May 1952 till then there should be someone to make normal loss acts what
you call it as remember those acts how will you make it like you have RP act 1950 vital just now we wrote RP Act
1951. correct RPX 1951 was not passed by Lok Sabha who passed it
1950 Lok Sabha comes into existence when hence RP act 1950 RP act 1951 was served
not passed by Lok Sabha it is passed by provisional Parliament temporary
they wanted to conduct elections much before like in Constitution is not finalized or will conduct it
I mean got an idea chronology wise please write did you write that it will also act as
provisional Parliament so provisional means temporary clarify what do you mean by that until
the Constitution is finalized
until the Constitution is finalized until the Constitution is finalized
general election is conducted until the Constitution is finalized
general election is conducted and Lok Sabha comes into Force
until the Constitution is finalized and general election is conducted
Lok Sabha comes into Force constitute event assembly acted as
provisional Parliament constituent assembly itself
acted as provisional Parliament to make laws for
Independent India constituent assembly itself acted as
provisional Parliament to make loss for Independent India
when if you want clarify the date actually it functioned till May 1952.
to be more precise May 17 something is there but those are all not necessary it functioned till May 1952 when first Lok
Sabha came into Force function till May 1952
when the first Lok Sabha came into Force
May 1952 when the first Lok Sabha came into Force so if you have the dot also please right
the first Lok Sabha general election was conducted in November December 1951.
so those are all chronology that you should keep it in mind first Lok Sabha election additional
details so that you get an idea first Lok Sabha election conducted in
November and December 1951.
November December 1951
fine now again clarify when the assembly functioned as provisional Parliament
of course when the assembly you have two role they actually used to do alternatively also let us say today you
came and sit together to make the Constitution then who will preside rajendra Prasad will preside we have
already mentioned it later there's the same people today came and to today they are functioning as provisional
Parliament then who will preside them yeah when the constant assembly functioned as provisional Parliament
then or at that time GV mavlanc are presided them presided
the assembly when the constant assembly met as provisional Parliament GV mavlanca
presided it presided means take it as Speaker
presided it
presided it
clear so these were the changes brought by Indian independence act other changes were there but we are only talking about
constant assembly related changes ok so then the real nerve function the
real function starts for the heading major Committees of constituent assembly
major committees major Committees of constituent assembly
because remember entire constant assembly function based on the principle of division of work
major Committees of constituent assembly now obviously in general we keep talking
that obviously ambedkar is the head of the drafting committee everything if you that doesn't mean that ambedkar will sit
and draft the entire Constitution obviously what is the what then why do you have so many members then around 300 members everybody will give their own
inputs every one now everybody was part of one another committee so fine so that
is what you call as committees division of work okay you you this some group of people you focus on fundamental rights
give the report you would focus on dpsp give the report you focus on Parliament Powers give the report you focus on
Central State relation give the report you focus on constitutional body you give the report how elections should be
conducted another group you give the report now all the reports was given to the drafting committee drafting committee is
the most important committee that committee was added by ambedkar so ambedkar's major role was what he he got
the work done from someone everybody get their reports compile it
and everything then make a draft draft means how should we start right from
article one to article 395 how do you start the process which article should be mentioned first which article should
not be mean all that process was done by the drafting committee that doesn't mean he wrote all the things of course you
take I you have to take the inputs from all his major credit is what he is the kind of a leader Captain that's why the major
Grill goes to him doesn't mean he's like Indian cricket team captain if you say so and so he is the lead that doesn't
mean he's the only player right exactly same concept that's how it function yes and so many
inputs were there now under that major committee's first one headed by jawaharlal nehru
which committees did nehru head headed by jawaharlal nehru
first one is Union Constitution committee
Union Constitution committee it focused on basically what are the powers all
those things Union Constitution committee what legislature will have those points to Union Powers committee what should be
what are the powers of the government of India Union Constitution committee second one
Union Powers committee States committee States committee was
actually the committee to negotiate with the princely states then of course the entire thing Amber I
mean the Sardar Patel took the responsibility but technically this committee was added by nehru States committee
clear these three were headed by nehru then next reading headed by Sardar Patel so which committees did Sardar Patel had
committee is headed by Sardar Patel first of provincial Powers committee
that means what should be the powers of the states what do you call it as provincial Powers committee a provincial
Constitution committee into committee on fundamental rights and minorities
committee on fundamental rights and minorities
committee on fundamental rights and minorities within that Matlab with that entire
committee because you were it's a committee on fundamental rights and minorities within that subcommittee on
fundamental rights just ready FR it's okay subcommittee
within the da subcommittee on fundamental rights JB kripalani
headed by J B J B kripalani
k r i p a l a n a j b kripplani
then subcommittee on minorities HC Mukherjee
subcommittee on minorities in fact so many others were there the committee are related to the
Northeast areas what is it by gopinath borderline all those things but that's not very important ones
subcommittee on minorities the same person
then committee is added by rajendra Prasad committee is added by rajendra Prasad
rules of procedure committee
rules of procedure that means how should the assembly itself function rules of procedure committee and two steering
committee Estee e e r i n g steering committee
rules of procedure committee and two steering committee
fine this is what how the assembly should function for example you think logically even now Lok Sabha
you have something called as Lok Sabha rules rajya Sabha you have rajya Sabha rules for example if you have seen the functioning of Lok Sabha and all those
things all of a sudden member cannot stand and speak starting you can't speak like that you have to give a notice in
the beginning you notice means what sir give me an opportunity today in afternoon session I have to ask a question to sounds a person all those
issues you have to raise in the beginning itself same way how should the assembly function for that you need some
rules OK how if you want to make an amendment to sounds of provision how do you move an amendment
for all those rules were made by this rajendra Prasad the red committee called as rules of procedure committee simple
terms nobody will ask you all these things basically rules of procedure means how the
assembly should function for that some rules should be there that rules was made by this committee
clear so that's the basic idea that's it steering committee is also for example
let us say who will head which committee let's say the committee has given a report is the committee report binding
on the assembly or not should we take up all the recommendations or can we reject
everything like that many issues were there it was steering means what which direction we have to when will the
session happen assembly had totally 11 sessions who will win when do you decide when you
will come for the session for example should we meet on today or
tomorrow when we lose it as provisional Parliament when you lose it as assembly so many technical details were there
that all they will take care which you don't we don't have to understand broadly have an idea okay fine yes sir
what are the functions of zones or committees clear but now the most important one drafting committee
as I said the drafting committee's function was get reports from all these committees compile it organize it
in a logical manner drafting committee if you want just write a brief of what was its role
drafting committee its function was to its function was to collect the reports
from various committees its function was to collect the
suggestions reports anything collect reports from various committees compile them
collect reports from various committees compile them and organize them
and organize them collect the reports from various
committees compile them and organize them find so many they include so many they exploit that is the committee obviously we know right the composition
resided by Dr br ambedkar
it was headed by Dr br ambedkar and then write other or if you want in margin you
clarify that also it was headed by Dr br ambedkar is just for your understanding
headed by Dr br ambedkar in margin you clarify however
however
Survivor Jennings was the first choice choice in the sense lot of people suggested his name
however sir ever Jennings was the first choice
sir ever Jennings was the first choice
but later as I said the British angle all those things they rejected that's a different issue Survivor Jennings was the first choice
then other members were
other members were first one gopala Swami
ayangar other members were
gopal Swami
ayengar so that different name spellings gopal Swami ayangar
then
Krishna Swami Ayer all the Tamil names
again another Tamil name TT
krishnamachari who later went on to become the Finance Minister also foreign
munshi he was from Bombay who played a greater role in even this
remember in Gujarat sumna Temple was reconstructed so he played a major role in that K.M munshi m u n s h i
then madhav Rao
then
so totally one plus six ambedkar plus two total seven
fine so they are drafted it in fact as I said helped this helped a lot also so finally
they came up with first draft so first draft what they did they gave it to the people so means what people in the sense it was
published so that people let them give the feedback then they took some feedback and they gave the second draft
then again they took the feedback and then they they finally made it third draft the third draft was in detail discussed
in the constituent assembly and as I said yesterday right from point number one to point number last every point was
discussed in detail on an average somewhere around 8 000 changes were suggested
eight thousand Amendment 7700 something was there around 8 000 amendments were suggested and then around 3000
amendments were discussed in detail and then so many amendments were included within that so imagine the level of
deliberation then deliberation means discussion eight thousand amendments means where when when will you discuss so many
things to that level discussions happen so that is the reason the Constitution as one of
the reason is that yesterday as we said you that's more the core reason why it has sustained if in case they did not
discuss it and then just include the provision people will reject it clear so there is a core summation
please add it the first draft was prepared and given for the people's feedback
first draft was prepared and given for people's feedback
and published for people's feedback first draft was prepared
and given for people's feedback and published for people's feedback
and then the same second draft was also given for people's feedback
I'm just summing up second draft was also published for people's feedback
second draft was also published for people's feedback finally third draft was discussed in detail by the assembly
finally third draft
finally third draft was discussed in detail
third draft was discussed in detail by assembly many amendments were moved
or just write many amendments were made because nobody will ask you how many amendments on these things many
amendments were made many amendments were made
right consensus voting all those things we have already discussed yeah actually one point okay then I'll
tell you later finally on November 26 1949
finally on November 26 1949
November 26 1949 constituent assembly
constituent assembly accepted
finally a number 26 1949 constituent assembly accepted the Constitution
concepted or you can also use the word enacted constituent assembly accepted or
enacted the Constitution that two technical words you have to use
it is accepted the Constitution right in margin you can write again
clarify the constant assembly members signed the Constitution on January 24th
1950 so signing is different this is in general they accepted it
constituent assembly signed or constant assembly members assigned the constitution on Jan 24
1950. so if they give this very simple change keep it in mind constant assembly
members signed the Constitution on January 24th is a statement says constant assembly accepted the
Constitution then what is the date November 26 1949 the Constitution came
into Force if they give that you have to choose Jan 26 that will write fine so January okay come back to November 26
1949 original Constitution consisted of
original Constitution consisted of original Constitution consists of or
consisted of a preamble original Constitution consisted of a
preamble 395 articles
395 articles 395 articles 22 parts
22 parts and yet schedules
Preamble 395 articles 22 parts and eight schedules fine so for
those who have not seen those constitutional things if you have a doubt as to a preamble it is as simple as for example let's say
you take a book any book you take Lakshmi Khan itself you take in the beginning you will tell for example
preface or prologue they'll write in a novel remember like this book is of shown so I give credits to someone so
dedicated to zones that is called as prefacer prologue Preamble is like the preface or prologue to the Constitution
starting fine I mean any book you start you have chapters chapter one or chapter two unit
one unit two so parts means it's like your chapter So when you say Constitution has 22 parts that means you
have 22 chapters then when you say 395 articles article is like a sub point
submitting so 395 articles means 395 points you have subheadings then when you say schedule
remember in any book you'll have something called as references at the end where they'll mention so many facts
link was a schedule is like that schedule is where you have you get the factual aspect related to the
Constitution that is called as schedule clear so how you have in a book it is
the same way because Constitution itself is a document there is a core details then how did it come into first what are
the criticisms other details all those things will discuss let's take some 10 minutes break
foreign
foreign
still here
in Dominion what will happen for example even now if you can take the what you
call as this countries like Canada countries like Australia even today opinions of British in simple words even
today like for example Australia has a democracy means they have a legislature they have executive they elect their own
PM all those things is there but still ahead of the state is who even though they have adopted the state also British Crone is still their symbolic head
Canada also British colon is a symbolic head that is Dominion one that means you take all the decisions on your own but
you have some kind of formal or symbolic relationship with someone like what you call as a British government that is
Dominion so Serenity or Paramount say means what you are a completely accurate under their control only if they for
example if the queen says don't do this you can't do anything but when you say Dominion it's not like that you have your own independence just
for formality sake you're dependent so Dominion is relatively better compared to society or Paramount C fine
yeah that is the point so Dominion if you don't know place where you play that also you can I mean okay I will write
those words anyhow we have to discuss no Constitution came into first what is the status and all those things
this chapter I mean till no it's okay fine right okay ah
no not exactly for example commonwealth countries means let's say you have a group called as Commonwealth of Nations
today fine so Commonwealth of Nations by definition is what whichever for the former British colonies means previously
we all were British colonies we have made a group so India is also a member of British carbon Commonwealth of nation
but India is not a Dominion of Britain India is what a completely independent sovereign country so we are not Dominion
so dominion and Commonwealth not necessarily related to be a member of Commonwealth you may be a Dominion of
Britain even today or you may be completely independent also the link point is what you should be ruled by
British somewhere in the past that's it
we'll discuss I'll mention all those points so any other doubts
okay so please continue so we've written what is the original Constitution consisted of and because a
lot of people have doubts about Sir what is the Articles that's why I just give you a brief reference so Preamble is
like your preface or prologue of a novel article is like what the points of your book
parts are what like your chapters or units of the book schedules are at the end what they give the extra references
whatever you call them as it is like that schedule right and now put on the sub waiting
below that or you can just continue like that also Constitution was enforced this is
Constitution came into Force
foreign was enforced on
Jan 26 1950 Constitution was enforced on Jan 26
1950.
when again clarify Jan 26 1940 1950
from 26th November 1949 itself from
26th November 1949 itself
from 26 November 1949 itself few Provisions related to
26 November 1949 itself few Provisions related to citizenship
because they wanted to conduct elections quickly few Provisions related to citizenship
elections related to citizenship
elections provisional Parliament
provisional Parliament and other temporary provisions
and other temporary provisions came into Force
and other temporary Provisions came into
well from 26 Jan 1950 the entire Constitution was enforced
from 26th Jan 1950.
from 26 November 1949 few Provisions but from 26 Jan 1950 entire Constitution was
enforced
okay from 26 Jan 1950 the entire Constitution was enforced
while maybe chose that day obviously you have to link it to Modern India this day was chosen because of what
foreign this day was chosen
because of the reference to police
this day was chosen because of the reference to purana
swaraj fine
because the reference to Purna swaraj again from this day 1935 act 1946 Act
discontinued from this that is from 26 Jan 1950
1935 act 1947 act discontinued
because till then actually 1935 Act was the base from now on everything discontinued
1935 act and 1947 act discontinued
right so now look at three dates 26th November 1949 Constitution accepted 24th
Jan 1950 assembly members signed it and 26 Jan 1950 Constitution came into Force
so three dates it looks small differences but factually you can't help so keep those things in mind and then
you can also cross question sir why only his phone so Provisions came into first from 26 November 1949.
but like we have written elections our citizenship was a provisional Parliament they came into first from that day
itself why actually the reason was because they wanted to conduct elections quickly they wanted new general looks
about everything but what they did not realize was till then we had British used to conduct
elections based on limited franchise number under 1935 act also at the maximum 10 percent of Indians
were given voting rights but in the original Constitution you are giving voting rights for whom Universal adult franchise for everybody
they did not realize actually the enormity Muslim how big is the problem
then when they started to allocate these election cards and all those things then they realized okay this is not going to
happen like this in fact actually what had happened for first general election was therefore for because at that time
they never used to be these photos photo identity card came later 30 40 years later that issued cards for for women
they had not even mentioned their names it was only daughter of the word wife of so-and-so then a lot of people rejected
it then they again issued new cards for women saying their name then below wife
of a daughter of how to conduct election itself was a problem because they could not conduct elections in the beginning because only
18 percent were literates how do you tell them what is the method of election you follow
how will you convince them for example let's say you follow PRS TV how would you convince them what is the method you are following
how will a common man understand and that you are not talking today's Common Man
1950s Common Man 18 literacy lot of people did not even know how to
read and write then how do you give a list of candidates for them how will you understand
then they came up with this symbols concept remember the party symbols all those ones even the are in the first
general election actually when they conducted so what they had done was for if there are five parties five boxes
were put I was given a slip you just have to go with search for your box put it there
then they realized that okay if you go like that the polling officer will get to know you voted for which party
because he can easily say okay you're going there you're going here then they realize okay this will lead to when
Matlab Revenge Revenge politics they'll get to know okay this person voted for so and so party they'll take care of you
after the election then they realize okay this is not going to happen then they put one box and they
said okay we'll put the names or party symbols in the slip itself then that followed for another 30 40
years ballot paper then they realize Booth capturing problem then they came up with evm then
they realized evm problem then they came up with vivipet now they're realizing election problem itself that because the system itself is
not supporting now they want to go for hybrid system hybrid means we'll make a combination of fpdp and proportional
representation for that you have to amend the Constitution so till then the same system will
continue so let's say it's a process very famously they tell civilization is a
trial and error method you never know actually what works what doesn't work until you try you try then if it works
you make some changes continue if it doesn't you can't help because that is how the Democracy civilization come up
with something new right that's how it keeps on going okay fine so there is one now in margin again
you clarify Universal adult franchise
Universal adult franchise was the only provision
Universal adult franchise was only provision
which was included in the Constitution
was the only provision which was included in the Constitution
without any discussion
without any discussion that means it's it says that everybody agreed to it Universal
adult franchise so look at the name itself says everything
Universal that means for all fine adult as of now it is
18 suffrage or franchise means
you can also use the term Universal adult
what suffrage also you can use originally it was not 18 years originally it was
21 years it was made into 18 years because of
61st Constitutional Amendment 1988 which came into first from 89 but you have
took the the year in which it was passed Universal that means everybody
irrespective of your religion caste gender and so on so everybody will get present it is 18. so even if they uses
the term suffrage or franchise both means voting rights original Constitution or originally it
was 18 years reduced to 18 sorry originally it was 21. reduced to 18 by
61st Amendment 1988.
right so that is about Universal adult franchise foreign
now write another few terms clarify the status
somewhere wherever you have space you can write till 15th August 1947.
till 15 000 1947 this question was your 2021 problems till 15th August 1947 India was a
British colony
India was a British colony till 15th August 1947 then
from 15th August 1947 till 26th Jan 1950.
India was a British colony from 15th August 1947 till 26 Jan 1950
India was
India was an independent country with
with what Dominion status
India was an independent country with Dominion status
by 15th August 1947 till 26th Jan 1950 independent country Dominion status so
clarify again what do you mean by that it means it means British crown
British Crone was still the head I mean officially had
British crown was still the head of the state it was still the head
it means the British crown was still the head
and that is called as Dominion status clear then from 26 Jan 1950
from 26 Jan this the last one was your Glimpse from 26 Jan 1950 India became
sovereign from 26 Jan 1950 India became over in
Democratic Republic country so three keywords
from 26 Jan 1950 India became sovereign Democratic Republic country
we discuss all the keywords we have to discuss in your chapter Sovereign Democratic Republic country so
this was the actual question on Films what was the status of India on 26 Jan
1950 Sovereign Democratic Republic clear then again
from or based on from 42nd Amendment 1976
next status from 42nd Amendment 1976
from 42nd Amendment 1976 India became sovereign
Democratic Republic so another two words added 42nd Amendment 1976 India became
sovereign socialist secular Democratic Republic
Sovereign socialist secular Democratic Republic Survivor those words added why
they did not add it in the original we'll discuss those are all for Preamble chapter
fine so this was a this is a very basic Clarity and as I told for the doubt if you want write in margin again even
today countries like Canada and Australia are the dominions of UK
that's if you have seen remember last year you know Queen Elizabeth died and King Charles continued as a king and if
you have a if you have if you had followed news on during that time Australia also passed a resolution New
Zealand also passed a resolution Canada also a positive resolution and said King Charles will also be our King
so they took that not worth exactly take it as a kind of resolution decision fine basic Point even today countries
like Canada Australia are dominions of UK
there are so many Caribbean like Bermudas and all those but they're all important not important countries
they are the dominions of UK fine
and that is a point actually there was discussion going on in Australia even in from the last 24
five years back also the Edition was there that will make ourselves completely Republic we will not have any
links with UK in Australia they had a discussion but then again lot of people said why
unnecessary anyhow the British king is not directly involving in your uh in your decision making it is just a
symbolic mean namesake so they are not affecting you they are not interfering in how the government of
Australia functions and lot of people said it's fine it just indicates our history because Australia as a country
itself emmers were British to call these uh what prisoners and then put them in Australia so later finally Australians
what the the so-called prisoners they eliminated not eliminated exactly there was the local people called as
aboriginals in Australia take it as original native people all of them
gradually sideline so these people made their own country so to express their history they have retained their names
that said other than that there is no major reason sure okay now another last topic other
functions of constituent assembly what all did it do other than making a constitution and acting as provisional
Parliament other functions of constituent assembly
it's a very simple one other functions of constituent assembly
first one is ratified
it ratified will tell what do you mean by ratified all those things it ratified
India's membership of it ratified India's membership of
Common Wealth of Nations it ratified
India's membership of Commonwealth of Nations
Commonwealth of Nations two it shows or it finalized adopted any
words you can use it finalized the national anthem
national song national flag
it finalized the national anthem national song national flag
anthem song and flag then it also elected the first President
of India that is rajendra Prasad that also have a reason we'll write that
it also elected the first President of India that is rajendra Prasad
right now first of all you have to understand you have two words we keep using that one is
signed ratified so we normally we keep taking it as the same one even in media
normally you don't find differences but actually there is a technical difference between what do you mean by saying what do you mean by ratify when you say sign
who is doing it executive has signed it executive means
those are ministers or maybe a secretary for in circuit like for example India India has agree I mean
science on so but in environment remember so many code of product called Paris agreements like that so many are
there India has signed so and so means India's environment minister or prime minister or external affairs minister or
Foreign Affairs secretary those people have signed it what do you mean by ratify then
no no when you say use the word ratify it means
legislature has accepted it so technically this is the difference if
you do know please note down when you say sign it means it is finalized by the executive when you say ratify that means
it is signed by or it is not signed by X take it as accepted passed by the legislature
so if the tell Parliament means that you should use the word technically if I Cabaret or Minister means you should
typically use the word same so both are different so signed means executive ratified means
legislature okay so national anthem all those things are obvious so that you will understand
now look at the fourth point it also the constant assembly itself elected home
first president that is rajendra Sir why because now just know you wrote on
January 26 1950 what is India's status technical India was called as what sovereign
Democratic Republic so Sovereign means what technically we will discuss the details in Preamble basic point there
will be no connection with Britain or any other country that is as simple as sovereign Democratic means people will
take the Ultimate Edition Republic means what the basic definition of republic is
this is the basic definition of republic Head of the State
this is the basic definition of republic Head of the State should be what directly or indirectly elected by the
people clear so from when did India become Republic then which day Republic day it will be called
to a giant 26 1950 Matlab Jan 26 1950 you should have the head of the state
and who is the head of the state in India yesterday itself we told president is the head of the state
priyam is what head of the government remember yesterday a state and government is different terms
president is the head of the state so you should directly or indirectly elect him in India we don't directly elect him
how do we elect indirectly indirectly in simple words
then the already elected members so actually the MPS and mlas will take it
as simple as that now you think logically when did you conduct the first Lok Sabha election which day which month
or at least when May sorry November December 1951
so how will you wait till that day if you wait till that day that yeah the
Dominion then but you've already declared that from 26 John India that means what
but for president there is no MP and who is acting as legislature
constant assembly as the provisional Parliament so the same people elected whom president
when you had the first general elections all those things so gender what do you call is rajya Sabha came into Force
all those people elected then you had the vice president comes first for simple reason from 26
Jan you need to have a person for that reason provisional Parliament only elected them so they got elected
because the reason why so that chronology you should not forget for simple reason there was no Parliament
till then so provisional Parliament that is constant assembly itself elected them
please write the reason for it so first write this definition basic
what do you mean by Republic Republic means and then copy that point
Republic means
Republic means Head of the State
copy that directly or indirectly elected by people
head of directly or indirectly elected by the people
right as there was no as there was no Parliament
as there was no parliaments the constituent assembly itself elected
the president the first president as there was no Parliament
constituent assembly itself elected constituent assembly itself elected the
president constituent assembly itself elected the
president foreign
country even now yes by definition they are not by technical definition no I mean if you
just go away the textbook definition but practically they are sovereign as I said because the British king will not
interfere in your today Administration why are you passing this law they will not ask anything so practically they are sovereign by
definition they are not yes yes yes
correct but they call themselves because they do is they'll also their own pm and
president who's above them is your British so that's how they do it so take it as
two terms practically Australia Canada are sovereign only in Practical things you understand right in day-to-day
Administration King will interfere a definition they are not sovereign that is the difference
huh ceremony ceremonial nominal just for
namesake paper wise not practice correct as I said I told you the reason also
because historically there's a relationship they just want to continue and people don't have problem with It ultimately depends on people if let us
say for example if Australians start protesting saying we don't want absolutely any relationship with you
okay then what will they do they Lament The Constitution and tell from today onwards UK king or queen has no
relationship with us fine because Australian people Australians are largely okay with it
then it's okay Canadians are largely okay with it it's okay so what would ultimately people
decide that's how it is huh [Music]
Parliament means India is telling they'll they have their own president will send it
huh exactly correct president can have a
question governor general they call it as governor general they're same like how we knew India we had a general of
India Governor exactly same table even in Canada also they call it as governor
general same concept UK King is just namesake nothing to do
clarified so keep that in mind huh yeah ok so
these are the major aspects then some few criticisms are there if you want you can write the criticisms of constituent
assembly criticisms of constituent assembly
first one is obvious is it it is not truly representative of the people
it is not truly representative of the people what is the simple reason for it
because they are not directly elected by people it is not truly representative
and tell the reason for it because it is not truly representative of the people because
they are not directly elected by the people because they are not directly elected by
the
fine there is one then two it is not a sovereign body
that means it did not come function come with complete Independence it is not a sovereign body
tell the reason why because it was of course it was created under which plan
cabinet Mission and that plan who made British members of the planet
all the members of British so that's these are criticisms because it was created under the British plan or
cabinet Mission plan made by British because it was created under the British plan
and because it was created under the British plan and
and the permission of British was required for the meetings of this assembly
and the permission of British was required for the meetings of the assembly
means for the assembly to meet you should take the permission of British
and the permission of British was required for the meetings of assembly
for the meetings of assembly and that is another one then three
dominated by Congress dominated by Congress
you can write that name also as said by
ass said by Granville Austin as said by Granville Austin
the assembly was a one-party body constraint assembly was
as said by Granville Austin the assembly was a one party body in a
one party country body
one party country one party body in a one-party country
right that was another major reason then other major criticism the drafting committee was criticized as
the drafting committee was criticized as drifting committee
means you're taking too much of time delay drafting committee was criticized as the
drifting committee and tell the reason because of because of delay in finalizing the
Constitution because of the delay
in finalizing the Constitution because the delay in finalizing the
Constitution
by then Winston Churchill criticized it as
Winston Churchill criticized it as a Hindu dominated body
Winston Churchill the former British pm criticized it as
Hindu dominated body of course those are all obvious reasons because of the if you just look at the
composition answer is yes criticized it as a Hindu dominated body Hindu dominated Brahmin dominated
multiple names criticisms were there that it was a Hindu dominated body
fine yeah like that there was also criticized that it was a lawyer politician all those things but
that that calculations will discuss after we discussed Constitution major things
yeah fine so these are the the major aspects of making of Indian constitution any road still here please
ask corals will directly now go to parliamentary system because first you should understand parliamentary and
federal then we'll come back to the Preamble and all those things because if you don't understand that you will not understand how the government is formed
what is legislature what is executive all those things hmm
one second once again
yes yes no fine
why was that obviously because of the health reasons there were other members like for example there was this
what his name is you have a famous kidwai kidwai was also one of the member so because of some health reasons they
could not conduct and then finally they replaced him by mother of RAM and then there was another person then was replaced by Syed mohammadullah for
health reasons one was Health reason another one was they could not function properly for so long then they changed
it so those are the reasons right yeah any other points any other doubts
or else for the adding parliamentary system
and as I said so which province had the highest seats in the assembly so please note that also if you have
doubt in the constant assembly up United Province had the highest seats
and Madras was the second highest at that time up was called United
province United Province had the highest seats
and Madras was the second highest number of seats just a small fact if in
case they ask United Province highest
and then Madras second highest yeah no comeback parliamentary system
again now the classification is based on what what is the relationship between
legislature and executive so on this basis they have classified into two
one is parliamentary of course you know the second one what is it presidential parliamentary system is it
is actually like this when you say parliamentary system remember this diagram
this is parliamentary this is presidential
so means what what do you mean by parliamentary then yeah to be part of executive you should
be part of legislature it is as simple as that and the executive is answerable to legislature
also so partly presidential means what to you can only be part of one organ if
you want to become a legislator I mean simple words take it as MP there they use different words Senator like that
multiple names basic point if you want to be part of legislature you cannot be part of executive
if you want to become an executive person means take a minister you cannot become a legislator
so rigid separation largely rigid separation of covering presidential here it is not rigid separation working
together Concepts that is the basic idea parliamentary system presidential system to make the
executive accountable to the legislature different names are there obviously when you say parliamentary system the mother
country is what UK when you say presidential system what is the mother Foundation country U.S
again we keep on discussing if your word sir which system is better sir both the system have its own advantages
disadvantages just because we shift from parliamentary to present shell it doesn't mean that our all the problems
will be solved there is nothing like that if I or for example if you think that's a
parliamentary is better then how did U.S develop then or if you feel so presidential is much better then how did UK develop then
so every country or every system will have its own Advantage depends on again as we said yesterday it does not depend
on the features of the Constitution it depends on whom the people who run the Constitution so it depends on that how
you run it not necessarily only the features of course features matter no doubt fine so that is the basic point
then remember this is a very famous question they keep asking in Parliament in upsc one
what they'll do is they'll give all the features of parliament system what three four points everything is parliamentary
system features only then they'll ask which among the following is the foundation or the core principle of
parliamentary system got the point let's try to remember I said let them give any statement when
you say constitutional state or government what is the key word you should search for limited government same way
parliamentary system the core word you have to search for is
even this was your 2022 prelims question also what is the core word
Collective responsibility of whom to whom
this is the core so you just search for this word called as responsibility or answer is done
so this is a very very famous upsc question every alternate year they'll keep asking the same
but they will give all the other statements also and all the other statement is also correct but the statement asks you which is the core
feature the core is this Foundation what they call it as
first let's write few basics under that you write first one democracy across the world or
democracies across the world democracies across the world can be
divided into two types democracies across the world can be
divided into two types democracies across the world
can be divided into two types based on the relationship between
divided into two types based on
the relationship between based on the relationship between
legislature and executive based on the relationship between
legislature and executive right under that first one parliamentary
system first one parliamentary system and you
can write this kind this illustration parliamentary system
this one first so what do you mean by that here executive executive means you are only
talking about political executive ministers not the permanent executive bureaucracy we are not talking
here the political executive is part of legislature sir what do you mean by part we will
discuss here the political executive is part of legislature
political executive is part of legislature and and they are answerable accountable
political executive is part of the legislature and they are answerable to the
legislature accountable to the legislature
let them use any words in general polity take it as all common actually there's a differences but even if they use the
word responsible or answerable or accountable take it as same word in polity optionals it is different for
polity it is all means clear responsible or answerable or accountable all the
same words don't listen so in which I mean executive is also answerable to the legislature right
obviously we know write the examples where do you have parliamentary example UK most of the whichever were ruled by UK
we all follow the same okay Canada Australia India Pakistan Etc
example UK Australia Canada of course New Zealand also
UK Canada Australia India Pakistan
fine then two presidential system
presidential system and write this
diagram so what is the basic meaning then
here executive is not part of legislature
executive commercial same political executive here executive political executive is
not part of legislature political executive is not part of
legislature and hence they are also not answerable to them
to them means legislature and they're also not answerable to the legislature
and they are also not answerable to the legislature and those countries also you know as I
said they are also not answerable to the legislature examples yes Russia Brazil Etc
U.S Russia Brazil Etc
fine in fact some countries are a combination also for example France France is a combination of these two
means what it is not parliamentary also it is not presidential also it is a combination of two how is that that we
will discuss first let us understand what you mean by parliamentary and presidential then we'll go to that so that's why France is a hybrid system
fine so because remember rest last year 2022 Mains question they have asked
about compare the elections of Indian president and fetch president so that if you understand the process you will understand that actually it's a
hybrid system so before that so let's say I do another few Point another there are a lot of okay that names will
understand again the last okay so no pudding features of parliamentary system
features of parliamentary system
features of parliamentary system first one dual head
dual head so as the name itself says what does that mean
you will have two head that means what first one below that you write precedent precedent
so different names you can call it as president means what Head of the State
president is the head of the state president Head of the State nominal head
end of the state nominal head
nominal head you can also use the term
djr head djar means jurisdiction theoretically means
did your head did your means theoretically
did your head when that is President Head of the State nominal head did your
head then obviously what is the second one prime minister and reverse head of the
government prime minister head of government
real head of the Executive or real head of the government
real head and three impressive the word jar right d facto means fact in real
de facto head of the government real head de facto
head and that is first one dual head then the second one is as you have already
mentioned this one dual membership
dual membership this was also a statement in 2020 prelims I'll tell what was that exact statement
dual membership dual membership means as we just know told what
to be part of executive one should be part of legislature or in simple words to become a minister
you should be an MP to be part of executive one should be
part of legislature to be part of executive one should be
part of legislature that is to become a minister you should be what MP
to be part of executive one should be part of legislature now what is the difference here so this is the
difference Point remember in Indian constitution Constitution itself article 75 itself gives you an exception what is
exception you can be directly appointed as minister even if you are not what even if you are
not an MP for basic Point understand at present you have if you take let's say for example Parliament
so Lok Sabha rajya Sabha now even if you want that basic point also because just I am just
clarifying you will be knowing so if you want to become a minister you should be only part of Lok Sabha
correct that means what only Lok Sabha MPS can become Minister correct or not
obviously no to take Jai Shankar take nirmala sitaraman what are they so basic point is what it is not
necessary that you should be part of Lok Sabha you should be part of what Parliament
fine that is one point second point is what let us say take the example of jai Shankar itself so if you can recall that
by time of the history but because was the fictional affairs minister but she had some health issues and all those
things so what they chose they decided that let's directly make home let's directly make Because by the time
actually had retired as the Foreign Affairs secretary and all those things they say let's directly make him as the
minister but remember when he was made the minister he was not an MP
that means what no Lok Sabha MP also basically was not an MP forget about Lok
Sabha rajya Sabha so then what is the point then within six months let's say you took the
word today as the minister and six months from now so you should become what
MP that is a point this is an exception in Indian constitution in UK you don't have this
point in UK it's the reverse Point means what if you want to be appointed as a minister today what you should be
you should be an MP that means only MPS can be made minister in UK but in India we have a six months exception that is
mentioned in Indian constitution itself fine take month of energy example for
take without a example is not the same now but he was CM just one year before because of all the remember you might be
knowing all that Maharashtra issue and all those things so I was without how did the doctor become same remember in Maharashtra you
have correct the Maharashtra State Legislature includes both assembly as well as
that is means it's a bicameral legislature bicameral by
two so it's a bicameral legislature remember normally the takray families never contest selection so balataka also
never contested even with the attacker never contest selection even that election he did not contest
but what happened there was a hung verdict means what
hunger it means if they give the term wherever they use the term keep it in mind no single party has got more than 50
percent of the seeds that is called as hunger addict fine so most of the states now you have hung verdicts means what no
single party gets more than 50 that means automatically what is the concept coalition government
so Hungary so then what happened whatever issues political issues whatever so multiple like what shivsena
Congress NCP Charlotte power all wanted to come together and form the government at that time without acry was still not
MLA or mlc then what they realized okay let's directly make him as a cm
know what you should become then you should either become MLA or what
or mlc within how many months six months so then obviously what they
will do normally what they do is their party mlc will be there that's it they'll tell him we get this seat
the seat becomes vacant then there is a concept called as by election by election there are two types of election
if you have heard one is general election second one is by election general election means what let us say
for Lok Sabha general election means what is the Lok Sabha strength 543 if you are conducting elections for all the
543 seats then it is called as general election let us say for example MP died will you
conduct election for all the 543 seats now which seat will you conduct that's it let's say for example some
some constituencies whatever some X constituency alhabad is that whatever you make it as that person died or
resigned disqualified only that's it you conduct election that you call it as by
election so by election is conducted for vacant seat general election is conducted for what
all 543 or if you do it for this also it is the same if you do it for all it is General if you do it for only vacant
seat It Is by correct so they will conduct by election within six months so then without Accra
became mlc continue recall month of energy election also the 2020 the covet time all those things had
happened and what happened because of the BJP issue of TMC issue and all month of energy had actually worked she lost
the MLA election but remember in at least here in Maharashtra Council in Us in Bengal word
you don't have Council what you only have then you only have assembly that means you have to become an MLA
then now you can't conduct election now so then what you did of course she is the head she directly became cm
now what she did from I think biwanipur or some constituency is there so from that's it her own party a person had
become MLA now when she said Wicked the seed you have to wake it there is no other option so she said Wicked the seat
once again let's finish up so she vacated I mean whatever that person vacated so then what you do by-election
within six months of course she contested she so that's obvious it is she became a male again
she continued sir you counter question if sir what if she doesn't get elected then
you have no option now until another seat vacants another election happens
you cannot continue as CM basic point you cannot continuous cm more than six
months not just CM Minister PM all the same got the three examples here now you ask
now for that there is obviously there are at present there are only six states with Council that option is left to the
states itself if they want to they can have it and there is a process for creating or abolishing it for example
because of this what happened Mamta Banerjee I mean West Bengal assembly
partial resolution saying we want a console in our state so they have a console and they said we
don't want a console sir why do some states have it the Practical political reason is what like
reason because I don't want to contest MLS it will see directly you can become because
it's an indirect collection so normally what they do is when they lose MLA elections they code to council become
mlc there become Minister it's a indirect route according to the Constitution the idea of having a second
house is always to check the first house because look at assembly or you look at
at the national level Lok Sabha Lok Sabha is a popular House popular house directly elected by people one two
because you have popular house you never know what kind of decisions they take because for election purpose they'll be
ready to do whatever they want any any lunch they'll be ready especially during election times
but rajya someone look at it it's a check they are not directly elected by people
so now when then what will happen that's why you look at you you look at it you look at MP normally Lok Sabha MP will be
popular famous rajya Sabha MP will be relatively knowledgeable person relatively not exactly I'm telling
relatively degree you have to take so because democracy works like that ideally people should choose candidates
who have knowledge also and who are who responds to their need also but
but what does people do people break it knowledgeable person people don't elect
it because
he cannot continue the same then no Minister nothing but normally you will have it because kind of these emergency
coincidence one you don't have normally if you die if you can't have elections you cannot continue a CM or Minister
more than six months that is obvious even if you go it even if you go further
Constitution doesn't allow you you until the general next vacant seat election happens absolutely you can't
continue after six months that is how the process is
fine I think you got a brief idea now let's write what do you writing dual membership did you write any point
there to become part of executive clarify them below Indian constitution
this is again a mentioning call because upscience like this is it Constitution is it Act is it convention it is
Constitution itself Indian constitution provides an exception for this
Indian constitution provides an exception for this
exception an exception for this what is it clarify a person who is not an MP
or at the state level you can call it as ml mlc also a person who is not an MP can also be
appointed as Minister here minister includes prime minister also fine because according to the
Constitution PM is Primus in okay that all we will discuss later our Indian constitution provides an
exception a person who is not an MP can also be appointed as minister
and what is only check yeah however they should become an MP
within six months however
they should become an MP they should become an MP within six
months they should become an MP within six months
so if you want to write those examples example Jay Shankar was appointed as external
affairs minister now just right Jai Shankar Mamta Banerjee rescinds
75 this Indian constitution exceptions in 75 dimension
chief minister of Bengal chief minister of Maharashtra
[Music] that's what for example let's say you have lost an election directly but you
want to continue in the positions and they have made that provision for themselves you may you may not so we made an
exception just to follow correct parliamentary system
most largely powered to the house of common yeah same but actually you should understand in India rajya Sabha is not
inspired from House of Lords rajya Sabha is inspired from House of Senate of U.S
so it is the House of Lords actually do not have that level of earlier they used to have but after they start to become more and
more democratic it is not House of Lords who have more power it is House of Commons our system is actually inspired I mean
in that kind of house of rajya Sabha is inspired from senate senate means U.S
not the House of Lords of UK fine but yes it is a check as you said of course there is a check rajya Sabha
gives a effective check we'll discuss in Parliament what how well has it given a check how it has performed all those
things will discuss that way fine that is dual membership to find the exceptions and all those things now the
third one majority party rule
third provision third feature majority party rule
majority party rule so liquid here we are using the word majority means what then
correct so write that to form to form the government
to form the government the party should have
to form the government the party should have more than 50 percent seeds
to form the government the party should have more than five zero fifty percent
seats in which house in the Lok Sabha lower House Always the party should have more than 50
percent seeds in the lower house that is Lok Sabha
it means that the state legislature we chose then assembly and same concept in the Lok
Sabha fine that is a basic point that means what so as I said at present Lok Sabha
strength is what 543 so rajya Sabha doesn't matter for us you should only take it to directly
elected you make it
so minimum one seat more 51 percent as they keep telling minimum one seat more so that's why the magic number as they
keep telling is what 273 minimum number you should have this
to form the government so as a single party if you have fair enough now let us say sir no party has majority
get together that's when you have the concept of coalition government so that's what is
if you have a what do you call it as
means people have not given majority for any party single party
clear please write that so if you should have majority in the lower house then clarified at present
at present to form the government at the national level
273 numbers are required in Lok Sabha
at present to form the government
to form the government at the national level to form government at the national level
273 members
required in Lok Sabha 273 members minimum required in Lok
Sabha fine then clarify this
in case of a hung verdict in case of hunger
in case of a hang verdict multiple parties get together
in case of a hangover Direct multiple parties get together to form coalition government
multiple parties get together to form
coalition government so hung verdict have already told you the definition so no single party he is getting more
than 50 seats multiple parties get together to form coalition government
clear and then the fourth whatever third or fourth Point Collective responsibility this is the core point
for the most important point Collective responsibility
Collective responsibility so what does that mean we have already
mentioned it it means it means the political executive that is ministers
it means the political executive
it means the political executive is answerable
the political executive that is Minister is answerable to the legislature
ministers are answerable to the legislature for their actions
for their decisions anything ministers are answerable to the
legislature for their decisions clear so that is a core in fact we can
clarify that this feature is the foundation of parliamentary system
that's why parliamentary system is also called as responsible government this feature is the foundation
of parliamentary system this feature is the foundation of
parliamentary system hence it is also called as
responsible government that means parliamentary system is also called responsible government
this is the foundation of parliamentary system hence it is also called responsible
government responsible government in margin you can
also write this parliamentary system is also called as
what foreign system is also called as Westminster
system because this is the place where the British Parliament is located because UK is the mother of
parliamentary system parliamentary system is also called Westminster system
the place where the British Parliament is located
next leadership of prime minister
leadership of prime minister as we already told lipium is the real head of the executive leadership of prime
minister fine so write those various names PM is
the real head of the executive PM is the real head of the executive
PM is the real head of the executive and well as well as the resigned head of
the party in power PM is the real head of the executive and
leader of the party in power leader of the party in power
and leader of the party in power
okay so that is another one no way measuring Point ah you can also clarify this
PM is considered as PM is considered as
what Primus inter pairs SF Latin coverage
Latin terms PM is considered as Primus inter pairs
what does that mean bracket you right first among equals
PM is considered as Primus interface that is first among equals
that means he doesn't have any extraordinary powers he's he's like any other minister he's just first among the
ministers that's the reason according to the Constitution we will discuss later in other chapters Constitution doesn't give
a separate worth for pm whatever an external affairs minister or defense minister or an agriculture Minister
takes the vote same what we will also take PM will also take if for example according to the
Constitution PM was some something was different what they'll do they'll give a separate vote for example you look at
president's worth we will discuss it president what is different because PM president is what Head of the State
fine he is one step above but PM both is not different both of any Minister and a mini prime minister is
also exactly the same prime minister also will not receive any extraordinary salaries also according to
the Constitution of course nobody will become minister or prime minister to get a salary that's a different issue but
according to the Constitution that is how it is treated clear so that is what you call it as
Primus interferes first among equals for next one next feature of parliamentary
system political homogeneity
political homogeneity
homogeneous means what as the name itself is same kind of thinking political
homogeneity is very simple it is derived from your majority party rule because most major I mean to form the government
you should have majority party more than 50 said so in simple words most of the ministers will belong to the same party
now when you belong to the same party same ideology same interest automatically what you will have
political homogeneity in simple words all the ministers will share same ideology because of the majority party
rule but you also have a chance of what coalition government now if you have 15 political parties like Manmohan Singh or
vajpayee or will you have political homogeneity then in simple words how can a BJP party and
let's say for example a DMK or an aadmk in Tamil Nadu or TMC think the same way
both their radiologies are not the same so then then how will you have political homogeneity sir
actually in a coalition government political homogeneity will be disturbed means that everybody will not think the
same way hence in India there is a concept called as have you heard this
in India we follow a concept called as
common minimum program it is not mentioned in the Constitution when
multiple parties get together to form a coalition government they sign a common minimum program common meaning look at
the name itself common means what you keep all your ideologies aside let us work commonly on this these three issue
whatever educational this is whatever let's have a common ground that is common minimum program The
Punchy commission you might have heard sir commission calls this as the Dharma of coalition government Dharma means
what Dharma means what will it will tell you what is good what is bad what is allowed what is not allowed so this is called as
a Dharma of coalition government to that level it is important but it is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution
got it it is a practice in convention as we keep telling got an
idea yeah please clarify that as there is majority party rule
as there is majority party rule ministers belong to the same party
as there is majority party rule
as there is majority party rule ministers belong to the same party
ministers belong to the same party
ministers belong to the same party automatically hence what hence they share same ideology and interests
hence they share same ideology and interest that's what you call as homogeneity
hence they share same ideology and interests
they share same ideology and interest clarify below however in coalition government
this will be disturbed this will be diluted
however in coalition government this will be diluted compromised
in a coalition government this will be compromise hence what you have yeah hence common minimum program is
followed so underlying common minimum program hence
common minimum program is followed
common minimum program is followed clarify again this is nowhere mentioned
in the Constitution it is a practice
it is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution it is nowhere mentioned in the
Constitution it is a practice
again clarify according to Punchy Commission
according to punchi commission mm punchi according to Punchy commission what is
it called as it is considered as a Dharma of the coalition government
according to Punchy Commission it is considered as the Dharma of coalition government that
means it will tell them what to do what not to do considered as a Dharma of coalition
government clear now the last main feature
dissolution of lower house dissolution d i s s
dissolution of lower house lower house means we are with referring to which house Lok Sabha so why is it called as
lower and upper all those things we will discuss later in other chapters dissolution of lower house so write the
point we will discuss it Lok Sabha can be dissolved obviously you know the basic term what is the term of
Lok Sabha five years that is the point Lok Sabha can be dissolved even before
five years Lok Sabha can be dissolved even before
five years by the precedent not the PM
Lok Sabha can be dissolved even before the five years by the president but how
on the device of Council of ministers use the term PM also it is actually
Council of minister can be dissolved even before five years by the president on the advice of
Council of ministers clear now clarify again few points are there there is no ground mentioned in
the Constitution that means why are you resolving it earlier there is no reason
there is no ground mentioned in that means on what basis there is no Clarity in the Constitution
there is no ground mentioned in the Constitution
there is one point then another clarification this is irreversible decision
irreversible means what once you dissolve it you can't say an air so please take it back nothing doing this
is irreversible decision then what is the only next consequence
the only option is general election means conduct collection for all the
seeds this is an irreversible decision and the only option is general election
the only option is general election clear
yeah that is the points so basically five year term Lok Sabha you can dissolve before five years itself sir
before five years means how many months before it is left to you let us say even after
even after one year that means even if four years are pending today itself we can resolve fine but who will dissolve president not
on his own how Council of Minister should advise you sir on what basis they can dissolve there is no basis mentioned
in the cons practically that's left to them but Constitution doesn't mention anything now sir just because Council of Minister
advise him will the president dissolve no it's not like that what is the president do is president will say if
any other parties can get together and form the government in simple laws let us say Prime Minister Modi feels today
that let's go to elections because 2024 March April is election for whatsoever reason if he fails I think people's
opinion is in favor of us today if you go to election now we'll get plus five years you never know what will happen in
five years if he feels like that he can dissolve but if he tells the president president
cannot dissolve just like that what should the president do President should see if any other
parties can get together and show the numbers of what number 273 if the answer is yes President
should give them an option whatsoever if it is answer is yes no sir
the answer is no then what is the only option then you have no option dissolve it go for general election within six
months so that's the process it's not like directly you dissolve it does not happen like that because the very simple reason
is the President should always search for opportunity to avoid general
election not to go for general election because remember general election is what if you do not at present according
to the statistics Indian election is the costliest election in the world till now for at least 450 years U.S
president election was the costliest and we have beaten even the U.S president election and the two we are only talking about
Lok Sabha election itself is costliest than U.S presidential imagine how many states are
there in India how many panchayats are there how many municipalities are there
and all of those things nowhere in the world they spend such level of money to that level our
election is costliest hence you should try to avoid general election as much as possible
if you don't have an opportunity it's you can't help then you have no option you have to go for it
that is how it works then office of secrecy is that our secrecy is not a very important provision so keep that in mind so in
case let us say you have written forever seven six seven Provisions you have written let's say they give everything and they tell you choose one feature
among this for parliamentary system which should you choose Collective responsibility always keep that in mind
clear then what is presidential system what are its advantages disadvantages what's up we will discuss tomorrow
till now if you have doubt please clarify or as you can ask tomorrow also
thank you fine
