*MC309/*MC409: CONSTITUTION OF INDIA

B.Tech. II Year I Sem. L T/P/D C

3 0/0/0 0

The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. Parliament of India cannot make any
law which violates the Fundamental Rights enumerated under the Part III of the Constitution. The
Parliament of India has been empowered to amend the Constitution under Article 368, however, it
cannot use this power to change the “basic structure” of the constitution, which has been ruled and
explained by the Supreme Court of India in its historical judgments. The Constitution of India reflects
the idea of “Constitutionalism” – a modern and progressive concept historically developed by the
thinkers of “liberalism” – an ideology which has been recognized as one of the most popular political
ideology and result of historical struggles against arbitrary use of sovereign power by state. The
historic revolutions in France, England, America and particularly European Renaissance and
Reformation movement have resulted into progressive legal reforms in the form of “constitutionalism”
in many countries. The Constitution of India was made by borrowing models and principles from many
countries including United Kingdom and America.

The Constitution of India is not only a legal document but it also reflects social, political and
economic perspectives of the Indian Society. It reflects India’s legacy of “diversity”. It has been said
that Indian constitution reflects ideals of its freedom movement; however, few critics have argued that
it does not truly incorporate our own ancient legal heritage and cultural values. No law can be “static”
and therefore the Constitution of India has also been amended more than one hundred times. These
amendments reflect political, social and economic developments since the year 1950. The Indian
judiciary and particularly the Supreme Court of India has played an historic role as the guardian of
people. It has been protecting not only basic ideals of the Constitution but also strengthened the same
through progressive interpretations of the text of the Constitution. The judicial activism of the Supreme
Court of India and its historic contributions has been recognized throughout the world and it gradually
made it “as one of the strongest court in the world”.

Course content
1. Meaning of the constitution law and constitutionalism
2. Historical perspective of the Constitution of India
3. Salient features and characteristics of the Constitution of India
4. Scheme of the fundamental rights
5. The scheme of the Fundamental Duties and its legal status
6. The Directive Principles of State Policy – Its importance and implementation
7. Federal structure and distribution of legislative and financial powers between the Union and
the States
8. Parliamentary Form of Government in India – The constitution powers and status of the
President of India
9. Amendment of the Constitutional Powers and Procedure
10. The historical perspectives of the constitutional amendments in India
11. Emergency Provisions: National Emergency, President Rule, Financial Emergency
12. Local Self Government – Constitutional Scheme in India
13. Scheme of the Fundamental Right to Equality
14. Scheme of the Fundamental Right to certain Freedom under Article 19

*MC409/*MC309: GENDER SENSITIZATION LAB

(An Activity-based Course)

B.Tech. II Year II Sem. L T/P/D C

0 0/2/0 0

COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course offers an introduction to Gender Studies, an interdisciplinary field that asks critical
questions about the meanings of sex and gender in society. The primary goal of this course is to
familiarize students with key issues, questions and debates in Gender Studies, both historical and
contemporary. It draws on multiple disciplines – such as literature, history, economics, psychology,
sociology, philosophy, political science, anthropology and media studies – to examine cultural
assumptions about sex, gender, and sexuality.

This course integrates analysis of current events through student presentations, aiming to
increase awareness of contemporary and historical experiences of women, and of the multiple ways
that sex and gender interact with race, class, caste, nationality and other social identities. This course
also seeks to build an understanding and initiate and strengthen programmes combating gender-
based violence and discrimination. The course also features several exercises and reflective activities
designed to examine the concepts of gender, gender-based violence, sexuality, and rights. It will
further explore the impact of gender-based violence on education, health and development.

Objectives of the Course:

 To develop students’ sensibility with regard to issues of gender in contemporary India.
 To provide a critical perspective on the socialization of men and women.
 To introduce students to information about some key biological aspects of genders.
 To expose the students to debates on the politics and economics of work.
 To help students reflect critically on gender violence.
 To expose students to more egalitarian interactions between men and women.

Learning Outcomes:
 Students will have developed a better understanding of important issues related to gender in
contemporary India.
 Students will be sensitized to basic dimensions of the biological, sociological, psychological and
legal aspects of gender. This will be achieved through discussion of materials derived from
research, facts, everyday life, literature and film.
 Students will attain a finer grasp of how gender discrimination works in our society and how to
counter it.
 Students will acquire insight into the gendered division of labour and its relation to politics and
economics.
 Men and women students and professionals will be better equipped to work and live together as
equals.
 Students will develop a sense of appreciation of women in all walks of life.
 Through providing accounts of studies and movements as well as the new laws that provide
protection and relief to women, the textbook will empower students to understand and respond to
gender violence.
