💡 Analysis & Explanation
Constitutional Directives ▼
The framers of the Constitution envisioned a socio-economic democracy. To achieve this, specific instructions were laid down in Part IV.
Specific Article Focus ▼
Article 39(c), a crucial component of the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), explicitly dictates that the State must direct its policy toward securing that the operation of the economic system does not result in the concentration of wealth and means of production to the common detriment.
Ideological Contrast ▼
While fundamental rights (like Equality or Freedom) deal largely with civil and political liberties, the mandate against wealth hoarding is a distinct socialist directive aimed at systemic economic equity.
Conclusion ▼
The accumulation of economic power directly contravenes the socialist ideals enshrined in the DPSP.
