Assembly for the Sovereignty of the Peoples

Sovereignty and the Constitution of India. Let's see the meaning of the word Sovereignty first. sovereignty literally means to possess supreme or ultimate power Over a state; to have a kind of authority over the state; to have authority over it. its a quality that whatever decision that you want to make there's no one to question you that is what you should do? or what you should not do? or how you are doing it and why you are not doing it? it is something like that. In the Constitution of India on the first thing that is the preamble we have this word written as the first keyword "Sovereign". India is neither a dependency and nor a Dominion. Now the meaning of dependency is to be up colony of some other country and to be a Dominion means, to be controlled by any other country. for example if we have Let's say a country 'A' and then we have another country 'B'. let's say these are the two countries than if the country 'A' is using country 'B' for its resources and taking all these resources back than country B is the colony of country A and the other case is, when the country 'A' is using his control, its political control over country 'B' to dictate its Polity, then it will be called as the Dominion so in that sense we can say that India is neither a dependency nor a Dominion but rather and independent state which can take its decision by its own, and there's no one that they should ask for. Well, we can not say that India was always Sovereign, but rather we should say that it was a Colony or a Dependency before 15th of August that is India's Independence Day or rather we can see till the passage of the Indian Independence Act which was passed by the British Parliament in 1947 India used to be a colony or rather dependency of Britain or British Empire. Then later on after the Passage of this Bill. India became a dominion of the British empire. in between this era it was Dominion till 26th of January 1950 when the Constitution of India actually got passed. When it was accepted and enacted, a real sovereign and where when it was ready to take all its decision by its own and there was no role of the British Empire or British government in that so in simple words we can say, India ceased to be a British dominion on January 26th 1950 by declaring herself a sovereign Republic a Sovereign Republic as written in the preamble here. We'll be discussing these terms Socialist, Secular and Democratic and all other things or other keywords in preamble, in the later videos. well it is notable to mention that the Pakistan the country Pakistan which also got Independent on 15th of August or rather on 14th of August as they celebrate it on that day. so after fourteenth of August 1947 they were still a dominion of the British Empire until 1956 they still were under the British dominion. Although we can say that sovereignty means to have full control or full authority over something but we cannot rule out pressure or influences by the outer media for example, if we are a country. Let's say so let's say we have a Government. Let us say this is our country 'A' and we have this Government, and there's another country 'B' or another Government 'B' and than another country let's say C or there could be a political group or a political or a pressure group let us say it to be 'D'. So this is the main country what we are saying as Sovereign. and it is taking all her decisions by her on. but yes the country "B" can always influence the country 'C'. Let us say the country B has a good kind of infrastructure. so if country 'B', have a good kind of infrastructure. Than the country 'A' can always check or they can copy or they can always get influenced by the infrastructure of the country 'B'. or if, This country 'C', let's say, or there is a Government institution, like or rather an international institution like UNO: United Nation organization then it can say that the country 'A' what is doing in your country is not good for the whole society or for the whole mankind and you should stop it or you should not do. We can just said waz you for that and or other in in that sense country D can also say OK if you are doing that thing what kind what do you enjoy suggesting that you should not do it and if you still do it then I will not go for any kind of business with you so I won't do any piano business with you so we can see that in such a case dick are creating pressure or them so it's an external pressure that these countries are creating what the golan institutions are creating were country so this is what we can see that instead up that country is a sovereign country and it can take wallets it can manage all its decision but yes we cannot rule out the word influence and the work pressure from taking its decisions well it is interesting to note that although India what independence in 1947 but is still continued all rather it went ahead to have a membership bid the British Commonwealth of Nations and it was already a member of the United Nations Organization since 1945 it was a member of the UN which is an international organization and it became up partner or it became a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations in 1949 as India was a young country which we just got out from the rules of colonial powers then the imperial powers it became highly debatable it became highly questionable that way India has joined the British Commonwealth of Nations once again and with that is way they have acquired the membership of the Commonwealth of Nations and and accepted the British Crown as the head of the commonwealth of nations with this was always a question on to be a tender in the Constituent Assembly in those times as India was a new country AP they've just got independence from the British government and now they have accepted the British Pound once again as the head up from the Commonwealth of Nations where it is a member by in itself well it is worthy enough to mention here that the acceptance of commonwealth of nation in Norway constitutional any way or another we can say it extra-constitutional it is extra constitution and that it is not mentioned in the Constitution of India and knew it and to diminish the fear solved the Constituent Assembly in those times the Prime Minister of India at that time that is Joe are lower level the former prime minister he said on the question of serenity that we have achieved it doesn't nation lose its independence by an alliance with another country Alliance normally means commitments the free association of the solvent Commonwealth of Nations does not in one such commitments its very strength delays in its flexibility and its complete freedom it is well known that it is open to any member nation to go out on the Commonwealth if it so chooses it isn't agreement by free you will to be terminated by Fri when will these other phone famous quote by Jo Harlow Nehru on the question of joining though membership of the Commonwealth of Nations and also we can see that the joining of the UN or the International Organization is also a Norway question on the serenity of India as many a times India has opposed the rulings or oppose the decisions made by UN tal in the past fifty or sixty years after the independence so we can say that India's membership in the UN no also is Norway constitutes a limitation on her serenity when the above what we have said was all technical let's see what's already actually means in layman's term it simply means that being a soul and country India can a quiet attended to the and acquire a foreign territory or eat concede a foreign territory it can you can just do we its own territory to some other country by its own free will there need not take any kind of decision early any kind of help from any other person or any other country or go home and for example the case of sick im sick im used to be a foreign territory and 1947 when India actually game to independence but but in 1975 sick game got incorporated in into the main political map of India and it became an integral part of India so this was requiring that a victory that what India has done with second which is in the north eastern side of Indy on donder global map as we know that India what independence in 1947 and before that it was drool by the British government and by all its acts and created by the British Parliament but unlike that as the constitutional in the old ordained by the people of India through their representatives assembled in the sole run Constituent Assembly which was competent to determine the political future of the country in any manner that that the lake so the worst late we the people of India do hair by adopt in act and give to ourselves this Constitution it simply determines that the the people of India does declared the other team it's all run T and the Constitution less on the authority well this was the concept of sovereignty with respect to the constitutional
