This paper focuses on the discourse on Muslim women’s rights in India, aiming to trace how policies concerning Muslim women affect their constitutional rights to equality and non-discrimination. In doing so, this paper explores a colonial continuity of policies in the post-independence era and the subsequent governments. The purpose of this paper is to provide an extensive and nuanced discussion on Muslim women’s rights in light of their historical evolution, the existence of personal laws, and the ongoing debates on a Uniform Civil Code. This article concludes that Muslim women continue to struggle for their rights to equal citizenship at the intersection of gender, religion, colonialism, and secularism.

“…The judiciary in India decided each case as justice demanded without any outside interference. The freedom of the press, right to livelihood, right to education, right to compensation, right to a clean environment, and many more as fundamental rights by the Indian judiciary through interpreting various provisions enshrined in Part IV of the Indian Constitution (Bhatia, 2016). Such an active and trustworthy role of the judiciary makes it the only institution in the country on whose acceptability there seems to be a national consensus.…”

The Indian judiciary has been the sentinel of democracy and assiduously upholds the values of Indian constitutionalism. Thus, the Court is the interpreter, protector, and guardian of the Indian Constitution. The active and trustworthy role of the judiciary makes it the country’s only institution whose acceptability seems to be a national consensus. This paper discusses that judicial activism is a part of judicial review and does not violate the doctrine of separation of powers; instead, it protects and promotes constitutionalism. Further, this paper illustrates that judicial activism has played a vital role in protecting and promoting human rights in India.

Constitutionalism and the Economy in Africa

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter provides an overview of the economic doctrines, principles, measures, and devices that have been incorporated, explicitly or implicitly, in modern African constitutions to guide government action and promote development. In so doing, the chapter considers how these ‘economic constitutions’ pave the way for consolidating constitutionalism and respect for the rule of law. An economic constitution entails that a rule-based approach is taken to economic policy. Such a constitution establishes a framework that seeks to guide government action and ensure that the government’s management of the economy not only promotes growth and development but protects the country’s economic and political sovereignty. The chapter examines the types and levels of economic rights recognized and protected in the constitutions of the selected countries. It then discusses the role of institutions for economic management and considers whether the relevant provisions are strong enough to promote proper economic management. This is followed by an analysis of the interplay between the constitution, the economy, and constitutionalism. It is shown that there is close interdependence between the measures and mechanisms designed to promote a sound economic constitution and those that promote constitutionalism, respect for the rule of law, and good governance. The chapter ends by suggesting some ways in which constitutionalism in general and economic constitutionalism in particular can be promoted to protect a country’s economic and political sovereignty as well as its ability to pursue economic growth and development.
