PREAMBLE AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN INTERPRETATION OF THE CONSTITUTION

Preamble is derived from the Latin word preambulus, meaning to go before or an introduction[1]. As its word of origin suggests, preamble is n preliminary or an introductory statement to any act or legislation, in this case to the constitution of India. It is indicative of the philosophy, purpose, uses, principles, objectives, ideas and aspirations for the preceding law. Preamble is considered as a blue-print of the forward act.

Farmer’s Protest- A national Crisis

The farm bills were introduced on 14th September 2020, passed in the Lok Sabha on 17th September and in Rajya Sabha on 20th September. The president gave his assent on 24th September and the Gazette notification was published on 27th September. In the matter of less than two weeks, without democratic process and discussion the farm bills bulldozed their way into becoming laws.
