Introduction to the Indian Constitution

The video introduces Indian Polity, focusing on the Indian Constitution and its schedules. The Indian Constitution is defined as a rule book for governing India, primarily drafted by a committee led by B.R. Ambedkar, which was established on August 29, 1947. The Constitution was adopted on November 26, 1949, and came into force on January 26, 1950, which is celebrated as Republic Day.

Original vs. Current Constitution Structure

Originally, the Indian Constitution had eight schedules, 22 parts, and 395 articles. Currently, it consists of 12 schedules, 25 parts, and 448 articles. These numbers are important for exam preparation.

Three Branches of Government

The Indian government is divided into three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. The legislative branch makes laws, the executive branch implements them, and the judiciary interprets them. The legislative branch includes the Parliament at the national level, comprising the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, and the State Legislative Assembly at the state level. Most states have only the State Legislative Assembly, while six states have both the Assembly and the State Legislative Council.

Executive and Judiciary Branches

The executive branch is divided into the Central Government and the State Government. The Central Government includes the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Council of Ministers, and Attorney General. The State Government includes the Governor, Chief Minister, Council of Ministers, and Advocate General. The judiciary consists of the Supreme Court, High Courts, and Lower Courts, including District Courts and Civil/Criminal Courts. Article 32 empowers the Supreme Court to issue writs, while Article 226 grants similar powers to the High Courts.

Schedules of the Indian Constitution

The Indian Constitution originally had eight schedules, which have since increased to 12. The First Schedule lists the states and union territories of India. The Second Schedule details the emoluments and allowances of important constitutional positions. The Third Schedule contains the oaths and affirmations taken by officials. The Fourth Schedule allocates seats in the Rajya Sabha to the states. The Fifth Schedule deals with the administration of scheduled areas. The Sixth Schedule covers the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram.

Division of Powers and Official Languages

The Seventh Schedule divides powers between the Union and the States, as per Article 246. The Eighth Schedule recognizes 22 official languages of India. The Ninth Schedule addresses land reforms and the abolition of the Zamindar system.

Anti-Defection Law and Panchayats

The Tenth Schedule contains the anti-defection law, which was introduced by the 52nd Amendment Act of 1985 to prevent legislators from switching parties. The Eleventh Schedule grants powers to Panchayats, covering 29 matters, and was established through the 73rd Amendment Act of 1992.

Municipalities and Mnemonic for Schedules

The Twelfth Schedule pertains to municipalities, reserving 18 subjects for them, and was enacted via the 74th Amendment Act of 1992. A mnemonic "Tears of Old PM" is introduced to help remember the 12 schedules: Territories, Emoluments, Affirmations/Oaths, Rajya Sabha, Scheduled Areas, Other Tribal Areas, Federal List, Official Languages, Land Reforms, Defection (Anti-Defection Law), Panchayats, and Municipalities.

Practice Questions: Rajya Sabha and Union Territories

The video includes practice questions related to the schedules. One question asks which schedule contains details about the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha. Another question concerns the incorporation of Goa, Daman, and Diu as Union Territories of India under the First Schedule, which occurred via the 12th Amendment Act of 1962. The 13th Amendment Act added Nagaland as a state, and the 14th Amendment Act made Pondicherry a Union Territory.

Historical Context and Additional Information

The video provides historical context, noting that 1962 was also the year of the India-China War. Goa was formerly under Portuguese control, while Pondicherry was under French control. The sequence of European colonizers in India is recalled with Portuguese arriving first and French arriving last.

0:00 Hello, everyone. Welcome to the opportunity to serve . So what we are going to look at in this video series is Indian Polity, and we are going to look at the important topics of the Indian Constitution and Schedules . So First Indian Constitution So Constitution Aptina What is that? In Tamil, it is the Indian Constitution or the Indian Constitution. So, if you want to put it in one word, this is a rule book. The Indian Constitution is a book that contains all the rules needed to govern India. If you look at who prepared this book, it was BR Ambedkar. Okay, so it was a group led by him that came and created this Constitution. If you look at when this Drafting Committee was set up, you look at 29 August 1947.

0:48 Okay, next, if you look at the date of adoption of this Constitution, you look at November 26, 1949. This is the date of coming into force. If you look at January 26, 1950. So the Constitution was adopted, and it came into force, that is, the day the Constitution of India was adopted. If you look at November 26, 1949, it came into force, that is, the day it came into force. If you look at January 26, 1950, what day is that? If you think we're celebrating, we're also celebrating Republic Day. If you look at how many tables were originally in the next constitution, there were eight. If you look at how many there are now, there are 12. Similarly, if you look at how many parts there were originally, 22, if you

1:34 look at how many there are now, 25, the same goes for the RTIs or clauses, if you look at how many there were originally, the original 395 is now 448, remember that they are given on this slide, so there are many chances of asking in the exam. So the next government can be divided into three parts . If you look at the first one, the legislative, the second one, the executive, the third one, the judiciary, okay, so the legislative is like that. If you look at the lawmakers, the executive is the one who administers the government, that is, they make the law, and then the ones who implement that law are the executive. Okay, next is the judiciary. The legislative branch can be divided into two parts. If you come and see the Parliament, that is, the National Legislative Assembly, if you

2:23 look at the State Legislative Assembly, then you will see that there is everything in the Parliament, then you will see the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, if you come and see in Tamil, then you will see the Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha, then the states. So, both of these are combined into one, the parliament, okay? So, the second is the state legislature, that is, the assembly, right? If you look at it, it will have everything, the state legislative assembly, the state legislative council. So the State Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the legislature, and similarly the State Legislative Council is the upper house of the legislature. So if you look at most of the states, there is only the state legislative assembly . There is no State Legislative Council. So, how many states can have a State Legislative Council? Six. That is, if you look at the total number of states with two houses, there are six. So, let's see what these six states are and

3:09 find out and tell us in the comments. So next time I'll be in the executive part. You can come to the executive party and split the rent. Central Government and State Government. Okay. So if you look at who will be in the central government, you'll see the President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Council of Ministers, and Attorney General. In addition, the state government has the Chief Governor, Chief Minister, Council of Ministers, and Advocate General. So, there are a total of five people in this central government . Four people are coming from this. Okay. We keep saying things like, "So, President, Head of the Republic." Vice President. On the other hand, the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of that country. Meanwhile, the Council of Ministers and the Attorney General. Similarly, if you come here and see the Governor, the Governor is the Chief Minister, the Chief Minister, and then the Council of Ministers and Advocates. Okay, remember this. Next, if you come

3:55 here and see the Judiciary, then you see the Top Court, the highest court of India. Then you see the Supreme Court, which is below it, the High Court, the courts below the High Court. Then you come here and see the Lower Courts, then you come here and see the District Courts, then you come here and see the Civil Court and Criminal Court, and then you see the many divisions. Okay, what are the two things that you still remember about this Judiciary? If you look at the Articles, the Articles, are they important? When you say the Supreme Court, what is the provision that comes to your mind? If you look at it that way, Art 32 is OK. Similarly, if you look at it that way, Art 226 is OK for the High Court. So Art 32 and Art 226 are OK. So what do they say in Art 32? If you look at it that way, Art 32 gives the

4:41 Supreme Court the power to issue writs. Similarly, if you look at the High Court, Art 226 gives the power to issue these writs . So, let's see what happens with this Ritz in the upcoming class. But if you think what you need to know right now is the Supreme Court, then the number of orders you need to remember is Order No. 32, High Court Order No. 226, okay, just remember these two . Next came next and we saw how many schedules there were in the original schedule. There were eight. How many are there now? There are 12. Okay? So when does the original come out? There are a total of 12 schedules in 1950 and now in 2025 . Okay. So if you come here and watch the first schedule. So let's look at this one-by-one schedule first. Okay. Meanwhile, let's look at how to remember this , this 12-hour schedule, and a trick for doing so

5:27 . So, if you look at what's in the first set, The states and union territories of India say so. What are the territorial islands in India ? If you look at what comes with this chart, it 's in the First Schedule, which includes both Union Territories. Okay, so what will be in the Second Schedule? Then, the emoluments and allowances details of important constitutional positions, including salaries, allowances, and those details will be in this. Okay. You don't need to remember these related articles . I just gave it to you for reference. Then the Third Schedule. If you look at what's in the Third Schedule, it's Oaths and Affirmations. Oats and affirmations. MLA Mbislam takes an oath before taking the oath of office, doesn't he? If you look at it and wonder what it will be like, it will be in this third schedule . Okay. So, this is the allocation of seats in Rajya Sabha to the states in the Port Schedule. That is, if you look at the details of

6:14 how many people from each state will come and go to the Rajya Sabha, what will be the outcome, it will be in this Fourth Schedule. Okay. Find out how many seats there are in the Rajya Sabha in total and post it in the comments. If you look at the Fourth Schedule, you will see that the details of the administration schedule areas and historical areas are in the Fourth Schedule. In the next schedule, the administration of tribal areas in the states of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram would have given details in the sixth schedule for these four states. So, these four states would have come and given their schedules. If the other S schedule areas came and gave them schedule tips and schedule areas, they would have given them in the fourth schedule. If you look at the next seventh schedule, the seventh schedule is like that. If you look at the division of power between the union and states, that is, the power sharing between the states and the central government, the

7:01 details will come and what will be the details? If so, this will be in the seventh schedule . If you look at the article, it is 246, okay, so remember this a little. Then, if you look at which schedule, what is in which schedule, then languages ​​are recognized by the Constitution of India. If you look at that, then 22 languages ​​are recognized, okay, so this is what is in which schedule, which schedule is it in? If you look at what is in the second schedule, then there is Land Reforms and Abolition of the Zamandar System. If you look at the 10th Schedule, the next 10th Schedule, you will see that the party ban law is like that. That is, in English, the anti-defection law is called that. That is, after MLA Mbislam comes and is selected, will he move from one party to another? So, there are laws that can prevent that in the meantime. Okay, this was

7:47 brought in under the 52nd Amendment . So, the 52nd Amendment Act of 1985. So, if you look at what is in the 11th Schedule, Panchayats have powers for that, that is, if you look at 29 matters, Panchayats have powers. What is the source of it? It was brought through the 73rd Amendment Act. In 1992, the 12th Schedule came next. If you look, it is related to the municipality. That is, in Tamil, there are 18 subjects under the municipality. If you look, there are 18 subjects reserved for the municipality. If you look, there is a trick to remember the 74th Amendment Act. It was the same year, 1992. Only the schedules are highlighted in it. Read it carefully. This is useful from the exam point of view. Next, there is a trick to remember these 12 schedules

8:33 . If you see what it is, you can say it's Tears of Old PM . So if you see what that is, count the letters in this word. There will be a total of 12 letters. So, let's remember this one letter, each plant . So Tears of Old PM. If you see this, you will see that it is coming to the territories, that is, Schedule Number One Territories. Then we looked at the second emoluments, that is, salary, didn't we? That is Schedule 2. Then we look at Approvals and Votes, that is, Schedule No. 3. Then we look at the Rajya Sabha, that is, Schedule No. 4. Then we look at Schedule No. 5. Then we look at Schedule Areas, then we look at Schedule 6. Then we look at the other tribal areas, the

9:27 schedules of Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Mizoram. Next, we look at Schedule 7. Then we look at the Federal List, that is, the list of powers. If you come and watch Next, it talks about official languages ​​and scheduled languages. Then Nanth Schedules talks about land reforms . We said that there is an anti-defection law, did n't we? So the anti-party agitation law is in the tenth schedule. So, this year came 1985, the 52nd Amendment, remember that. Next came the Panchayats, then the 73rd Amendment, and this is the 11th Schedule. After this, the 12th Schedule, then the Municipalities, and the 74th Amendment. So, if you remember such a memory of the old PM,

10:12 then you can easily remember this 12th Schedule as well . Next, let's look at the practice costs from the topics we have seen so far. The first cost is according to which of the following shl to the government provides for allocation of seats to the states and union territories in Rajya Sabha. The Rajya Sabha's parliamentary schedule does not contain details of how many people will be in the Rajya Sabha from each state and union territory. Next Costinvimanme of the Count of India Incorporated Goa Daman and Diu s 8 Union Territories of India Paman the first schedule to the count so if we look at the first schedule what is the union territories and states we see the list of the first schedule so

10:58 come here and ask when did Goa Daman and Diu get added to the union territory so what is the answer to this if you look at the 12th Amendment Act i.e. 12 Constitution Amendment Act it came and changed it so if you look here when did the 12th Amendment Act come in 1962 so if you look at this time they have brought two more acts 13 and 14 so each They have made every addition in the Amendment Act. If you look first, if you look at the 12th Amendment Act, if you look at the Union Territory of Goa, then they have added Nagaland as a state in the 13th Amendment Act. If you look at the related article, Art. 371a, if you look next, if you look at the 14th Amendment Act, they have made Pondicherry a Union Territory. So remember all these three. If you look at the year 1962, if you look at

11:48 what it is, if you look at India, if you look at the year 1962, if you look at India, if you look at the year 1962, the year of the India-China War, remember that too. So when did the Indo-China War happen? If you ask me, in 1962, it wasn't just this, it was Goa, Pondicherry, etc. It was with foreigners. When we got our Indian independence, it was with foreigners. So Goa came and was near the Portuguese. Whoever got it, it was with the Portuguese. And if you look at who owned Pondicherry, it happened to the French. So this is additional information, what can you see here? If you look at it like that, when our forefathers came and made the rule, who came first? If you look at it like that, the Portuguese are the ones who came to Portugal.

12:39 Okay, who came to Portugal last? Okay, so B is Portuguese, there are Dutch, there are English, there are English, there are Danes, Danes, they will say that, next F is French. So here, the first ones who came were Portuguese, the last ones who came were French, so if you ask who went to Portugal last, it is also Portuguese. Okay, so remember this additional information a little bit. Next, these two questions are for you to practice. Come and put the answers in the comments. If you want more videos like this, then mention it in the comments. If you have any other questions, please put them in the comments section. We will try to address them as soon as possible. Okay, so thank you.
