     70       Years of Indian                                                                                                                                             Years of Indian
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Constitution
                                                                        Constitution
                              Eradication of Poverty is a
                               Constitutional Guarantee
                                                         The fundamental premise was that if
                                                         we, the citizens of India, had a say in
                                                         government, then all decisions would
                                                          be aimed at uplifting the lives of the
                                                         people. We freed ourselves from the
                                                         shackles of colonialism and adopted
                                                             our own written Constitution in

                                                         1949. Now, 70 years on, we must ask
                                                         ourselves: to what extent have these
                                                                   hopes been achieved
