The Article 13 Of the Indian Constitution is a
powerful legal provision where in all
laws legally, religious enforceable prior to the adoption of the Constitution
of free India were made inapplicable in India. Art.13 reads as
Laws inconsistent
with or in derogation of the fundamental rights
(1) All laws in force in
the territory of India immediately before the commencement of this
Constitution, in so far as they are inconsistent with the provisions of this
Part, shall, to the extent of such inconsistency, be void ( Refers to laws
existing prior to adopting this Constitution)
Laws made after the commencement of the
Constitution
(2) The State shall not
make any law which takes away or abridges the rights conferred by this Part and
any law made in contravention of this clause shall, to the extent of the
contravention, be void
This article 13 has now part 13(3),13(4) added
by different amendments but these are to explain, to enforce certain provisions of laws in
certain circumstances..
But the most powerful provision against the
monopoly of religious laws or some other laws enacted for the convenience of
the rulers was uprooted by the visionary wisdom of the Constitution framers.
Baba Sahib Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar the father of Indian Constitution got all
unnatural Laws null and void by writing the Constitution and also getting
consent of other members.
Now the
public utterances of some political Parties leaders, their Masters, Militant
Armies ( Senas) maintained by some religions under the garb of
social activities, of change of
Constitution, burning of the Constitution in full Public view in the presence
of the Government Law enforcing agencies is all due to this Article 13
Provisions indigestion. Because uptill this article exits in the constitution
no religious Laws of dividing people on the basis of caste, sex, colour place
of birth can do any harm to Indian nationals who may be penniless or Billionaire , sweeper or
religious preacher. Dreaming of establishing Ram Rajya to assassinate SHABUKS by certain people is not possible .
So all right thinking Indian need to resist with
their full force any change or scrapping of the Constitution by any person,
political party, religious agencies etc. Good of
Bharta lies in enforcing Constitutional provisions in letter and spirit.
