Context: The Indian Constitution was enforced in 1950, and in the very next year, an amendment was introduced. The Act amended the Indian Constitution even before the first elections were held in independent India. There were three fundamental changes made in the Constitution through this amendment. It gave ways to limit freedom of speech and expression, supported measures to abolish zamindari, and made it clear that the right to equality does not preclude passing laws that give particular consideration to society’s most vulnerable groups.
