One of the limitations of the Constitution of India is that it does not adequately attend to gender justice. What evidence can you give to substantiate this charge? If you were writing the Constitution today, what provisions would you recommend for remedying this limitation?

It is true that the limitations of the Constitution of India is that it does not adequately attend to gender justice.

Some of the evidences of the lack of social justice are:


1. Fundamental right of every citizen to be treated equally, but the constitution has not specified gender, though caste, religion and class are specified.


2. Citizens cannot be exploited on the basis of caste, religion, class, language but there is no mention of gender.


3. Respect for women has been mentioned in Directive principle and not made a Fundamental Right.


If I would be writing a constitution then, following provision would have included:


1. Protection of any kind of sexual Harassment.


2. Compulsory elementary education for every girl Child.


3. Curbing practices like female infanticide and foeticide.


4. Move freely and safely throughout India.
