(Magazine) Yojana Magazine: Issue August 2013 Posted: 05 Aug 2013 04:10 AM PDT Yojana Magazine: Issue August 2013 It was 1904. Gandhi was travelling from Johannesburg to Durban on a train. His friend Henry Polak had given him a book by John Ruskin named 'Unto this last'.He read this book during the long journey. This short book contained four essays written in 1860. The book drew from a parable of New Testament which was interpreted by Ruskin as a critic of the industrial society of late 19th century Britain. The book had a profound impact on Gandhi. He translated and paraphrased it as 'Sarvodaya'. Debunking the utilitarian principle of 'greatest good of the greatest number of people', Gandhi insisted that true happiness of a society can be realised only by making the person standing at the lowest rung happy. read more Online IAS PRE Coaching.

(Sample Material) IAS Online Coaching : Polity - Directive Principles of State Policy Posted: 05 Aug 2013 03:19 AM PDT Sample Material of Our Online Coaching Programme Subject: Polity Topic:  Directive Principles of State Policy Fundamental Rights (Part III of the Indian Constitution) that were discussed in the earlier chapter are the bedrock of political democracy. They ensure that democracy prevails and the roots of democracy run deep. They are essential for individual development - essential for an individual to attain full intellectual, moral and spiritual development. Ques. 1 : 'A welfare state is not possible without socio-economic democracy.' Discuss the statement within the framework of Directive Principle? Ans. Political democracy, however, remains fragile unless the socio-economic foundations are strengthened with policies that aim to establish a welfare state. Welfare State is a government that takes primary responsibility for the welfare of the people, particularly those who are weak and vulnerable. It is a state that aims to minimize disparities and ensure equitable development. Individual rights can be effectively enjoyed and become meaningful only when social security and economic well being are ensured. Democracy as a political process can only survive when it is sustained with supportive socio-economic order. Thus, the directive principles aim at creating a new socio-economic order to provide a firm foundation to political democracy in India read more Online IAS PRE Coaching.
