Babasaheb Ambedkar defined freedom in three ways: political, economic, and social. ‘We should not be satisfied with political democracy for any reason. We must make our political democracy a social democracy. Social democracy is a way of life that recognizes liberty, equality, and fraternity as the principles of life. The principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity should not be considered as separate elements. If any one of these is separated from the other, it will be a defeat for democracy. Liberty is not separate from equality, equality is not separate from liberty, nor are liberty and equality separate from fraternity. Liberty without equality is the tyranny of a few over many. Equality without liberty would kill individual initiative.’ Without fraternity, liberty and equality are not the natural order of things.
The state has implemented several schemes to empower the most backward sections of society and provide economic strength to its people, in accordance with the main objective of the Constitution. The state is spending ₹1.12 lakh crore annually on public welfare.
